The receptionist was rude when checking in. The room was very run down and shabby. Needed cleaning and painting as a start. The pictures on the website must have been taken YEARS ago. The shower had moud in the corners. The water pressure in the shower was very low and there was no hot water in the morning to have a shower.

This is an older downtown hotel, but was very adequate as far as amenities, very clean however room and bathroom was on the small side. The location was great to visit the waterfront, Pike Place Market, the underground tour (great). Within walking distance to many attractions, and right on the free city bus route. There is a Seattle's Best coffee shop joining the hotel, and several deli's, coffee shops, and restaurants within walking distance. Free iInternet service is available in the lobby, and there is a great restaurant around the corner with very reasonable breakfast. We did the Tillicum Village ferry and dinner/show and enjoyed it very much (within walking distance from the hotel).

A small, basic but well-run business hotel. The standard room is just big enough for one person. But the room is clean and pleasant, the bed was great --pillows too- and the large flat showerhead feels like a gentle rain. Nice large-screen TV, AC/heat worked great. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Locale was very convenient for my purposes --close to the conference I was attending (but MANY dollars cheaper) and in a safe area so I walked back and forth daily. Also an easy walk to the Pike Place market and the historic district. A good and much lass expensive option for a business traveler. But be forewarned -- no restaurant in the hotel --however, a coffee store on the main level offers breakfast sandwiches as well as Seattle's Best Coffee (think that was the name of it.)

Terrible, dumpy old hotel. Worst hotel stay of my life, and I've had some doozies in my hosteling years. In a bid to save money the management had shut off the AC for the season and the rooms were stifling. The front desk told us to open a window. Thanks, Einstein! I had to roll up a magazine to prop the window open. Still stifling. We tried wedging something under a hall door to the outside stairwell to try to create a draft. I spent most of one night trying to sleep in the lobby because it wasn't as hot as my room until the night clerk made me go back to my room. The bathroom was so tiny you couldn't sit squarely on the biffy because of the toilet roll dispenser being in the way. The trim around the floor was coming away from the wall. paint is peeling everywhere outside. The carpeting looks filthy. Good location downtown and the SBC was handy, but that's about all. They have WiFi which is nice but nowhere in the rooms to sit a laptop - except on your actual lap. Avoid!!
