Nice hotel. A little extra daytime noise this trip due to work being done on the roof.

Good hotel. I would return.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean conditions.
Cons: The pillows are too soft.
Location: Seattle has a ton of this to do. The avenue was interesting and much of the city is within walking distance for me.
The hotel was very nice. The staff was very friendly but otherwise left me alone (which was good). The room was clean, quiet, and spacious. The breakfast was good that is served in the morning. The only complaint I could have would be that the pillows were not very comfortable and were too soft. I ended up using one from the couch. Others may like them, though. Hardly anything that would make me not return if I visit Seattle again.
