The staff really make this a true five star experience. Right from arrival and the Valet to the front desk staff. Even the cleaning crew added some special touches like Lavender to the room. It was relaxing, quiet, and very enjoyable. Parking downtown is terrible so use the valet service. They are vast, careful, and quite helpful. Even when it comes to dining, the valets know the town and can point you in the right direction. Everything is close and can be accessed by walking, taxi, or bus. I took my bike and everything was accessible by bike. From Alki Point to Discovery Park, there are bike trails everywhere. Timothy and Jordon (front desk and valet) had all the info I needed to pick places to go. They could not have been more pleasant and easy to talk to. Timothy was like talking to an old friend even thought we just met. The hotel does have some wear, but it is maintained well. The restaurant, All Water, has a wonderful breakfast. I plan to stay here again next time I'm in Seattle.
