Convenient place with bad parking and little to no staff interaction.
Pros:

Close to major attractions (~10 min drive from Space Needle/Pikes) but you’ll either need a car or an ORCA card to get around somewhat easily. Good if you just need a convenient place to stay in Seattle for vacation.

Cons:

Parking lot is mid and difficult to find parking. View was meh. Room was fairly clean and spacious but it had an extremely strong bleach smell that lasted for the first day and gave my gf a headache. Didn’t have house slippers and staff was not very helpful both in person and via phone.

Beautiful clean space, comfortable beds.
Pros:

Room was huge -- 500.

Very clean and quiet.

Cons:

There was a group near the bar when we came in. They were very loud. We wanted to leave the lobby as quickly as possible.

They were there, hours later, still drinking. And throwing up in the lobby bathroom. We wondered why the bartender didn't cut them off.

Also: breakfast was mediocre.

Disappointed
Pros:

Location

Cons:

They were unable to provide us the two rooms that we reserved. They canceled one room and made it inconvenient for us to accommodate.

Good and comfortable
Pros:

The location was great. Service was also good.

Cons:

The room was generally very clean especially on first glance but the longer I looked the more I’d notice things like stains on the carpet or hard water buildup on the shower head. Could’ve used a little extra attention to detail for cleanliness.

Highly stressed,
Pros:

Parking lot ok, room excellent, excerise stuff nice touch. Bed very comfortable, filtered water/ice available.

Cons:

For an out of towner, had to park off property because it was difficult using gps to locate entrance and how to get to it. Very frustrating with local traffic. Called to get directions on how to approach and where to go only to be put on eternal hold with a final hang up. Finally parked, walked the neighborhood to find the proper entrance and how to get in. Your staff really didn’t give a “shit”. And assumed their instructions that were not very clear was adequate. I will not recommend future stays because of that reason. Breakfast is too late in the mornings for us early risers who need to be to work. Didn’t get to enjoy any form of a breakfast. Where would one go new to town and does not know the area. What a way to start a day, no food and cranky as a result.

Pros:

My bathroom sink would not drain efficiently. Other than that it was a great room

Cons:

Parking. But it was out of the property’s control. People just weren’t parking correctly, maybe it hard to get in and out.

Basic accommodations - comfy bed but overpriced
Pros:

It was in a pretty good location, though not especially close for walking to any of the major sites. Bed was comfortable and room was well equipped. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

Floor was dingy and it is ridiculous to pay $8 for a bottle of water. Cost for the room was higher than I would expect for pretty basic accommodations.

Cozy hotel with everything you need in one spot
Pros:

Love the location. Love the retro mcm modern vibe & rooms were great! Bar and food downstairs. Walking distance to needle about 16 min walk not bad. Lots of restaurants on the same street you can walk to. Would stay again.
They even had umbrellas to barrow if needed when you walk out.

Cons:

Nothing bad actually. Everything was great
