The hotel is near several key locations. The needle tower, the amazon headquarters, and the pike market place. the staff showed great kindness. room facilities are controlled by an ipad, i thought this was a modern touch. i found this hotel to be the best choice for my return visit.

i experienced noise from outside and neighboring rooms. i even heard sounds from upstairs! this disturbance prompted me to request a room change three times, a notable inconvenience.
