The hotel is beautiful with a spacious lobby and lovely rooms, but it is too far
from downtown to be convenient for guests without a car. To make up for it, the
hotel provides hourly shuttles to the Space Needle and to Westlake Shopping
Center (downtown). We took advantage of the shuttle several times and found the
drivers to be very pleasant, but we felt rather confined by our inability to
walk anywhere of interest.
The hotel has a swimming pool and hot tub. They were pretty typical of hotel
pools—nothing special—but my family enjoyed them. A free breakfast buffet was
also provided. The food selection seemed about average for hotels offering free
breakfasts; we were disappointed that at a time when Seattle was full of fresh
local fruit (cherries, strawberries, etc.), none of it showed up at breakfast.
Instead the usual imported oranges and apples were offered.
We had a very nice hotel room with fridge. I particularly liked the way the
bathtub/shower and toilet were enclosed in a separate room from the bathroom
sink. I stayed at the hotel with my husband and seven-year-old daughter and this
bathroom arrangement made brushing teeth and bedtime routines quicker and more
convenient. We were however, disappointed that while recycling and compost bins
were available in the restaurant (where breakfast was served), they were not
provided in our hotel room.
Children seemed very welcome in this hotel. When we checked in, the person at
the front desk gave my daughter a small toy and activity book.
We liked the hotel, but we tend to do a lot of walking and found that the
location was a problem for us. We probably won't be back, but it could be a good
choice for people who don't want to have to drive half way across the city to
get to downtown, but don't expect to be able to walk anywhere.

The hotel's title includes downtown. It is about 30 minutes walk to Pier 66,
from where boats go to Canada, about 10 minutes to Space Needle and about 20
minutes to Pike Market. So, very good location in that sence. However, the
surrounding area is a business type location, so it does not look very
attractive at night. I did not walk outside past 7pm, day time and mornings were
fine though.
The hotel has shuttle that takes you to Space Needel, West Lake shopping mall (4
block from there to Pike Market) and to conference center. All driving times are
5 minutes, if not less.
Comfortable rooms, very very spacious. Small bathrooms though, but the sink and
mirror were outside of the bathroom, so it was ok. Big screen TV. excellent AC
unit, easy to use (unlike in many hotels) and really really QUITE! I have never
stayed in a hotel with such a quite AC unit. My room did face the freeway, you
do hear the noise but it is somewhat muffled so it did not bother me at all.
I am not sure if anyone stayed in adjecent rooms, but i heard nothing at all
during the entire stay (4 nights)
good breakfast included in room rate, the variety stays the same, but I would
not complain since there was not additional charge. There is also coffee/tea
service in the lobby all day.
The hotel has a bar that serves food, it was good and the pricing was nice.
Bathroom amenities are of good quality.
The indoor pool is really small, i would compare it with the pool for kids
accompanied by adult. The water seemed somewhat chilly to me during the stay,
although it was heated to 81 degrees according to thermometer.
Complimentary business center, did not use internet in room, so cant write about
connection speed etc...
front desk is friendly, knowledgebale, very helpful; so are shuttle drivers. The
hotel has umbrellas, so you can get one from bell stand if you forgot yours.
parking is expensive, right next door is an open parking for a free less then
hotel; however based on the non-attractiveness of the surronding area I would
park with the hotel, just to be safe, even if its going to be just a few more
extra $$

Family We stayed here again this year for one night pre cruise and had a nice
stay again. Not much has changed since last year.
We took the hotel shuttle downtown to see Pike's market. We then walked up and
caught the monorail to the space needle. Ajter spending time there we walked the
mile back to the hotel.
Breakfast was good and had a lot of choices.
The hotel arranged a shuttle to the pier for $7.00 per person which was better
than a cab as we had a lot of luggage.
We would certainly use this hotel again should we come to Seattle.
