Reviews

• Tupy from United States – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location and eclectic vibe. Fantastic roof top bar!
  
  What could be improved: Couldn’t control room temp. Only one very small mirror over sink in bathroom without “vanity” make up area.
  
  Room needs a 2nd mirror.
  
  Safety…the mounted slide bar for the shower head fell off the wall…just missing hitting my body. My husband was able to put it back in place though not sure it was secured well. I did mention this upon checking out. Hopefully it was Really secured for the next guest.

• Kdnorris from United States – 18 April 2025 (8/10)

  This is a return visit for us. We love the hotel vibe, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the delicious coffee in the attached coffee shop, the comfy beds and attractive, comfortable decor. It is very close to family and makes for an easy and comfortable stay. Our Honors membership doesn’t seem to be a subject of discussion here.
  
  What could be improved: We prepaid our reservation, but received an emailed folio invoice following our departure that reflected extra charges for the prepaid taxes. Several inquiries later, we were told that the charges had been reversed. It seems like, if it’s worth sending an email with charges, it is worth sending an email with credits as reassurance.

• Yu-feng from Taiwan – 15 April 2025 (8/10)

  comfortable, close to light rail station
  
  What could be improved: a little bit expensive

• Melissa from United States – 7 April 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: The elevator was having some issues, and I was a little disappointed there was no mini fridge or microwave.

• Cresta from United States – 28 January 2025 (8/10)

  Really close to everything
  
  What could be improved: We moved everything except the extra valet fees.

• Piper from United States – 23 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location is near our granddaughter at UW and the light rail stop. So we stay here to visit her. Love the vintage decor.
  Coffee shop and bar are convenient.
  
  What could be improved: One elevator was broken, so waiting for the one working and crowded elevator was a big inconvenience.

• Jenny from United States – 12 November 2024 (7/10)

  Great location. It was near a lot of places and walking distance to the Link.
  
  What could be improved: We could hear the guest above us through the vent. They had a long argument with someone and we got to hear all of it.

• Robert from Spain – 19 September 2024 (9/10)

  Good size cOmfortable room, friendly staff and good public transport connections.

• Eric from United States – 3 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great Location. Close to town center and only a few minutes from Pike Place Market. Had a great view and comfortable seating. Staff was helpful as well
  
  What could be improved: Valet Parking is expensive; their are places to park within the area but is fairly limited

• Andrea from United States – 25 August 2024 (8/10)

  We were sad because we booked here for the rooftop and it was closed for a private event but other than that the stay was great. Lots of hot water in the shower, beautiful view, full size pillows, and a really cool coffee/wine shop downstairs. The staff were incredibly accommodating and great!
  
  What could be improved: Parking is expensive and no pool or hottub. I wish they would email prior if the rooftop bar is is going to be closed or reduce the rate if that happens. No mini fridge but there is a water heater.
