We Enjoyed Our Time
Pros:

This area used to be a dirty dead end of town. While there still are the remnants of a vacated homeless encampment across the street, the whole South Lake Union area has undergone a tremendous uplift in recent years. Now it is a safe and mostly clean neighborhood. We found many places in walking distance (including pastry stores, cafés, REI, the well-known outdoor outfitter, and medical facilities). Several bus stops are very close by (2-3 min walks--buses 70, 150, 545, 590, 594). We walked a lot from here like in European cities. The room was clean. It had a nice and aesthetic design without being fanciful. The bed was spacious and comfortable. We liked the free very good coffee both at the lobby and in the room. The elevators were extremely swift. Despite the close-by I-5 we did not hear traffic noise. The refrigerator had enough space although small. Also, a water purifier and a microwave were available at floor level. Apart from a night receptionist who had the appearance and communicative behavior of a Rikers Island inmate, we had wonderful experiences with the staff who were delightful and supportive at all times.

Cons:

We were puzzled about a $50 accumulating "security" charge. Staying for two weeks we were looking at $700. The very friendly front desk person could not provide us with any convincing explanation (are they assuming that the longer one stays one might add more damage?--strange). The room was of okay size; however, the combined toilet and shower section had no separate sink/faucet, and it was separated from the room by a sliding door, which left empty space to look in, reduced optical and acoustic privacy. So, when friends were visiting us I decided to use the restroom at the lobby level to keep everybody convenient. The mini kitchen (with coffee cooker) had the only sink/faucet where you could wash your hands, brush your teeth, etc--somehow parsimonious and unusual. The room cleaners were supposed to come every other day; however, sometimes you had to summon them in when three days had passed without cleaning. House cleaning was overall not up to snuff.

It was comfortable.
Cons:

The walls were thin. We heard the other guests really, REALLY enjoying themselves. Perhaps a list of places to go would be a nice touch…Needed more variety with the breakfast:
