We are literally stuck in Typhoon Dujuan in Tokyo and cannot make our hotel reservation now because our flight was cancelled, and Courtney REFUSED to cancel our reservation. Terrible customer service. If you find yourself in an emergency situation, don’t count on this hotel to care about anything. All they care about is money. Very disappointed.

Great historic hotel steps away from Pikes Place Market! Check in was a breeze with lots of helpful tips for a first time visitor. The room was spotless with a gorgeous bathroom and super comfortable bed. The tea kettle with local coffee for a morning pour over was a great touch! We had delicious breakfast at Ben Paris as well as pre-dinner drinks. Great atmosphere and attentive service. We had a wonderful time and even brought one of their fabulous robes home!

This hotel is perfect- the staff was amazing, everyone we interacted with was so friendly! We walked everywhere, it is in a perfect location to hit all waterfront attractions and grab the light rail or monorail. Beautiful, crisp clean room, the BEST shower towels EVER, and very comfortable bed!! We ordered and ate at the rooftop terrace. We had the burger and fries and hush puppies. All were incredible. The view to the sound was beautiful and we watched the sunset from there.

Quaint hotel. The room was very clean & tidy. Bedroom area was small, with a larger bathroom.( Walk-in shower needs a full door...water gets all over the floor from the shower.) We stayed for a week...lack of storage was an issue. The bathroom needs a towel rack or ring near the sink for hand towels. Desk was unusable due to the tea kettle, mugs, ice bucket being placed there with nowhere to move them to. All minor inconveniences... Be aware that there is a large homeless population in the immediate area, some of whom are somewhat aggressive in asking for money. The front desk staff, and the staff in general, were all very accommodating and friendly. The Ben Paris restaurant had excellent food, and it was handily inside the hotel. The location near Pikes Place Market and other businesses was excellent. We were able to walk everywhere, with mass transit readily available nearby. All in all, our visit was quite pleasant.

this hotel is good but not worth the money you will spend on it. the laundry service is especially bad. dont tell me i need to pay $18 per shirt and $6 per tie and then not even have it done before 9 pm that day.
