10/10 Excellent
"Very charming hotel with a vaguely mid-century/1950’s aesthetic and decor in the common areas and rooms. The location couldn’t possibly be better. It is literally next door to Pike Place Market and is surrounded by dining options and night life. The Seattle Art Museum is down the street and Pioneer Square, which is filled with art galleries, and Chinatown, which has great restaurants, are a short walk from the hotel. The space needle is also not too long of a walk from the hotel. I found the room comfortable though I do wish the shower was a little bigger. There was also a nuance to getting the AC to work. Overall a great option if your focus is downtown."
