Location was great. Need more supplies stocked in room.

The hotel was clean and nice, as was the room. But the room was small. It is in a great location, which almost justifies the excess nightly cost. But the hotel charges extra to check in even a few minutes early and charges extra to use the TV and/or the internet. I will not return.

The location alone deserves 5 stars. Are you kidding me?! With the long food lines at Pike Place, it was so nice to be able to say, “I’ll come back later when things calm down a bit..” You literally walk downstairs, and there it is. Yes, it’s that close! The hotel itself is absolutely luxurious. You can tell from the details and décor that a lot of artistic thought went into its design. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and tastefully decorated. I love the large windows, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get an amazing view overlooking Pike Place. The staff was absolutely incredible and incredibly helpful. From the front desk to the housekeeping staff, we were greeted with nothing but smiles and friendly hellos every day. If you have time, check out the bar. We had the privilege of spending a couple of hours with Justin and Jeremy. If you’re looking for unique, creative cocktails, Justin is definitely your guy. If you prefer expertly crafted classic cocktails, Jeremy is your guy. We also tried the rooftop bar. While the view was amazing, we weren’t big fans of the drinks. As for parking, it’s off-site, but the walk isn’t bad at all—about a block away. There was security patrolling the area, which definitely put our minds at ease. Breakfast was delicious. Be sure to try the pancakes—they’re really good! They also offer gluten-free options. Considering it’s located in the heart of the city, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was. We couldn’t hear any outside noise, and we didn’t hear a single neighboring guest throughout the night, aside from the occasional sound of people entering or leaving their rooms. Overall, I don’t think I could stay anywhere else after being so thoroughly spoiled. I’d personally like to thank the wonderful staff for making our stay such a memorable one.

Stayed here for one night before our honeymoon on a cruise. They left us a beautiful bottle of bubbles and a great note to kick off our celebration.
