Appreciate the calm atmosphere at Gay City Library while perusing the journals, books and periodicals. See if you can find some board games too.

Located in Downtown Seattle, this collection of books is worth a look. But you'll find a great deal more to explore in the area. Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and University of Washington are within easy reach of Gay City Library.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,700 reviews)

Super cool, grungy chic decor throughout the whole hotel. Comfy bed, really clean space, and great bathroom products. Amazing location downtown Seattle for what I needed - Shopping at Nordstrom and dinner at Din Thai Fung were top of list :) bonus “beer hour” between 5-6p they serve complementary local beer in the super comfy, cabin chic lobby. Only complaints were: walls were really thin (but they have earplugs on the nightstand ready for use- which I did), hairdryer needs an upgrade (the one in my room barely worked and looked like it was from the 90’s), and the morning coffee in the lobby could stand to be a lot stronger (we are in Seattle after all!). All that to say, I really enjoyed my one night stay. I will be back next time I need a great stop to stay in downtown Seattle!
