Overall a good experience.
Pros:

Large clean rooms and nice bar to get food and drinks. Great valet service.

Cons:

Food portion size small for price. $24 for a green salad with veggies and basaltic wasn't worth the price. My husband did the spicy noodles. He said it was good, but very small.

Great food, great drinks, very nice bed, wish I could have stayed another day or two.
Pros:

The concert I went there to see (string quartet) definitely benefitted from being in an older building. The food was great, and reasonable price for the area. They also had a drink called the Embered Orchard, definitely recommend that future visitors try it.

Very Comfortable stay, we will be returning soon!
Pros:

I love the fact that they try to maintain the original hotel as much as possible, its like stepping back in time when I walked in the lobby. The Valet service gave me piece of mind and we highly recommend everyone goes and buys a drink from Mike at the hotel bar!

Cons:

The location as far as distances from attractions is amazing and a reason we will be returning to this hotel, but the views from the room are a bit of a let down with the lot across the street on the south side of the building.

Surprised Trip Advisor gave it such a high rating.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good.

Cons:

The hotel lobby was dark and dreary. I did not like the focus on the bar in the lobby, which was noisy.

Beautiful historic hotel good value
Pros:

Clean, beautiful historic building. Great location and walkable to great restaurants and other attractions. Valet parking was pricey so we used a nearby public parking garage and there are several nearby to chose from. Very good breakfast on the first floor.

Cons:

The area has a lot
of unhoused people. We noted other reviews where guests felt unsafe. On the contrary, we felt that it is safe, most people are minding their own business, and we saw the city making an effort to keep the streets clean and Seattle is a beautiful city.
