I would consider staying here again if I was attending an event at the Conventiojn Center.
Pros:

Cleanliness. The place smelled like it had recently been deep cleaned. I liked that.

Cons:

No elevator! My room was on the 5th floor! Come on! A fifth-floor walkup in downtown Seattle?

Pros:

It was nice and quiet.

Cons:

Missed a human touch as in an on-site host. But I could get used to this new form of hotelling.

Pros:

Very nice accommodation, we spent here only one night before our next flight and for that it was ideal. The hotel has an ideal location, it's in a quiet street, you can easily walk to the nearest subway station and there is lot of shops and restaurants in the area. The best thing are the locker boxes for storing luggage, which are free to use after you ckeck-out.

Cons:

The hotel rooms are quite small, however it's bot a big issue.

Pretty decent if you don't mind the noise
Pros:

Comfy bed, clean tidy room.

Cons:

Wow, that aircon unit is loud. Sound also carries quite easily between rooms.
Really they need to replace those air con units. I can't imagine what it's like during the summer and you have to have it on at night.
Foam earplugs are provided.

Love the bed.
Pros:

The bed!

Cons:

I tried to reach out via telephone for early check-in, the automatic answering machine sound weren't very clear and it was so difficult to get to human. Also the system seemed to mess up my first and last name so I couldn't sign-in on the Sonder app. Took me a while to figure that out and finally got the Access details and that wasn't fun after 16-hour flight from across the globe.
