Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Apr 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

We enjoyed are stay. We enjoyed the room with a beautiful view of the space needle. We couldn't get enough of the pool and although, it was small it met our needs. The front desk was very helpful. Free wireless Internet helped us to look up destinations and directions to where we wanted to go and they also were very quick to bring us extra amenities when we asked for them.

Positives: I liked the closeness to Seattle hot spots, it was not far for me to get where I was going.

Negatives: Not really anything bad to say.

Overall I enjoyed my trip. The hotel had a free breakfast but the eggs were powdered and some of the muffins were stale. I wasn't impressed with the food at all. The elevators took a long time to pick up guests and usually they were full. Another thing, you pay for parking but the parking garage can get really fun and you may not have a space to park in. Parking is $10 a night.

Positives: The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The elevators were very slow and usually full, the rooms were small, and there was no hot tub.

The hotel was fine if your only looking for a place to sleep and refresh your self. Not really a place to hang out at. The had plenty of high signal strength hot spot if you need WiFi. The obviously put in way more access points than you typical mid range hotel. I could see at least 8 from my room, 3 of which had very strong signals. They do still have smoking rooms, so pay attention when checking in. I didn't and the first room they put us in smelled like a bar on Sunday morning. But one call and 5 minutes later and we where in a nice clean smelling non-smoking room.

Positives: Convenient to everything

Negatives: The usual starch overload breakfast buffet. The still have smoking rooms.

Recently stayed here for a weekend getaway in Seattle. THe location was awesome for walking distance to several attractions including City Center and the waterfront. The free breakfast was great and made waking up a bit easier. There were, however, some odd noises from the building throughout the night, most likely drain pipes.

Positives: The hotel was close to everything I wanted to do in Seattle

Negatives: There were some weird building noises.

Overall nice hotel located within walking distance of Space Needle. Only a mile from Pike and downtown area. If you don't like walking, the Seattle monorail goes from Space Needle to downtown. We would stay here again.

Positives: Very clean, large, well supplied room, good location, quite.

Negatives: Lobby carpet needed cleaning, elevators were very slow.

Very clean with a very friendly staff. Really enjoyed the biscuits and gravy at the breakfast bar.

Positives: Great breakfast and very clean room.

Negatives: Hallways were very stuffy and warm.

This place was inexpensive and met the basic needs of a business traveler (free WIFI). Though technically it is called the "City Center" it is not a pleasant place to walk through at night. You must cross 2 busy streets and then walk about 5 blocks before you get in an area that doesn't look rundown and shady.

Positives: Free breakfast in the morning. Gym. Indoor swimming pool.

Negatives: Location in poor neighborhood. Must cross busy streets to get to main area.

We had a beautiful view from our room of the space needle. Very nice room with new plasma television and granite in the bathrooms. Would recommend bigger shower curtains as the ones were small and did not fit the new showers. I would hate to see water damage happen with careless customers.

Positives: When we checked in the only room available was a king bed for the four of us. They then found a suite with 2 queen beds for us.

Negatives: Only thing was their dryer was broken on our floor and had to take wet clothes to another floor to dry.

The beds weren't the best but it was clean. There was confusion about the town car, we were told about ten dollars to go to the water front and told it would be a ten minute wait, the town car showed up 45 min. later, instead of the car they brought a van and put two separate couples and us with our two children and charged us five dollars a head for the four of us, any taxi ride cost us about $8 for the four of us not $20. That would be our only complaint about the experience the stay other than that was great.

Positives: The breakfast buffet was excellent.

Negatives: Town car service.
