Mostly loved it!
Great for the most part. We had a suite on the roof, which was actually super quiet inside vs the noise of Seattle outside. Made for some fun people watching since a bunch of bars line the street down below. Very clean and a beautiful room. The bed was a bit stiff for my preferences but definitely not the worst. The most bothersome thing was a gap under the door to the room that let in a ton of cold air. You can somewhat remedy it by closing the seperation door between the small entry/livingroom area and the bedroom half. But that still didnt completely solve the issue cuz the heater would blow in the bedroom and then it got overly warm. If they could fix that, it'd really help overall comfort. But all in all it was a great place to stay and not a long commute to pretty much everything youd want to get to in Seattle. Im sure we will be back!
