This hotel was a very good choice for accommodations; the breakfast could be improved.
Pros:

The room was very clean and the furniture was in excellent condition. The desk chair was especially spacious and comfortable. The edge of the bath tub was low enough to step over for a shower. There were several restaurants located within a walking distance of four city blocks.

Cons:

There was one only long grab bar for the bath tub. Another grab bar positioned on the wall would have been desirable for getting into bath tub to bathe. The bath mat was small. The breakfast omelettes had very little flavor and I wonder whether the eggs were reconstituted dry eggs.

Was comfortable
Pros:

That is was close walking distance to the space needle to the Seattle Center

Cons:

I know that it’s Seattle but I’ve already paid a pretty penny for a room and have to pay for parking as well per night is a little ridiculous.

Wouldn't Stay Again
Pros:

The location was nice because we were able to walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go to in Seattle plus it was a very short walk to the Space Needle so we got good views of it often.

Cons:

The breakfast was very messy and unorganized plus unedible. Check in was at 3PM but we weren't able to get into our room until 3:30ish and the front desk staff handled it in an unprofessional way not offering any discounts or sorrys for the inconvenience.

Pros:

Everything was fine. I only stayed 1 night and chose it for its proximity to the Space Needle and Chihuly exhibition.

Also pleased that there was shuttle service to the pier for my cruise.

Nice stay at clean hotel with exorbitant rates.
Pros:

Way too expensive. $425 for a room? Too expensive! A partial refund to my credit card would be a nice gesture..

Cons:

The rate.
