The play-by-play from our guests:
“This hotel is a great value. It is worth upgrading to a city view room and opting for access to the executive lounge that includes free breakfast that was very good, and free non-alcoholic beverages all day long. The location is within walking distance of Westlake park (5 min), convention center (7 min), and Pike Place Market/waterfront (about 15min). I really enjoyed my stay here and highly recommend it.” - Jeff
“This hotel was on 6th; just far enough away from the water front & pikes that the traffic & noise was significantly reduced. City noise was minimal- rooms were a great size. Still close enough to walk to the sports stadiums, pikes & the waterfront. Will be staying here again.” - Linda
