Great value hotel in strategic location, but as a former resident of the area, it has become as unsafe as all of downtown Seattle. Got yelled at and threatened on my way and back one block to the grocery store; the guy came running after me (for no reason whatsoever). I wouldn't park my vehicle anywhere in this neighborhood. The hotel is very charming with a warm and cozy and friendly public area. I have no problem with a vintage hotel, but the lighting in the room is *so* bad, you just don't want to spend 5 minutes in your room (dim, blue, flourescent color). A lotta room, but you just want to flee... except there is really no place safe to go. I survived the crack wars on the east coast in the 70s and 80s, but Seattle has taken things to a whole new level.
