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!

Rose Theatre
An inveterate fantasm purportedly haunts this house, or at least one of its windows. When viewed just right from about one spot on the entire planet, the first dark window you see to the right of the central structure appears to reveal a woman sitting in her chair. To the more jaded eye, it would seem that a large flaw in the ancient glass happens to line up very nicely with a large, stuffed chair directly behind the window. No matter. People come from miles around to scare the bejeezus out of themselves by lining up precisely where the apparition can see them and shrieking in delight. However, few of them will actually stay at the "boutique hotel" contained within. Which is probably why the owner is looking to sell it. If you like company, but are not overly fond of money, you might drop by and make him an offer.
