16.4/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)
My stay was truly exceptional. The room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, but what really stood out was the staff. Every team member I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the stay memorable, especially Sam, who went above and beyond with incredible service. The amenities were great, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and everything just felt easy and enjoyable. Plus, the Link is only a two-minute walk away, which made getting around Seattle super convenient. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
