Location couldn't be better, steps from Pike's Market; the rooms are modern and clean. They can arrange a transfer to the airport or cruise port at your convenience. It works very well!

Brigitte, Nadir, and Evan are rock stars in customer service ! The location of the hotel was perfect for visiting the market. The rooms were very clean. The whole staff in general was great. We definitely will be back

The location could not be any better, right downtown a block from Pike Market. The views (if you get a room with a water view) are stunning, the customer service was welcoming and helpful and the hotel is beautifully designed.

Stayed 2 nights before our cruise. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Rooms on the smaller side, but the location was perfect. 1 block off Pike's Market. If you forget something, no worries, Target was 1/2 block away. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help anyway they can. Hotel restaurant was very good and had food vouchers for each night. Hotel does not have distilled water for CPAP, but neither did

This hotel is centrally located, which is a priority for me when traveling, especially for leisure. I don't tend to spend much time in the room unless I am showering or sleeping, so the fact that the room was crammed did not matter that much. We got a harbor view, but that seemed a little silly now that I know the window was super tiny and you could only 'enjoy' the view while standing right in front of it. The hotel and the room were very clean and comfortable, despite the lack of space. I appreciated having a parking spot in a close-by garage. We've stayed in hotels before that were valet only at a much higher price (expensive and a hassle). Front doors of the hotel remain locked at all times, so if safety is a concern, you would feel better knowing that. The rooftop open-air area is a bit small as well and is not as open as you would imagine, more of a wrap around set-up, but it was better than nothing. I was weirdly fixated on the poor quality of the toilet paper, but there's a Target right across the street, so you can purchase your own if you must have the best for your bum lol I had no idea it mattered this much to me, but I guess it did.
