This is one of the few properties in downtown that has a kitchen. Most hotels don’t include a microwave anymore so you can’t reheat your food if it gets cold.

From the moment we arrived, my daughter & I were treated like VIP’s! The late afternoon guest services staff went above and beyond to make it special! Mohammed, at the door, waved us over to share where we could go to easily unload and where to safely and affordable park less than a block away! He also greeted us again at the loading area with a luggage cart, got it loaded and safely inside while we parked, and then delivered up to our door! No, it’s not the new shiny penny, it’s the old penny that holds so many stories, secrets, charm! Rooms have the space needed for its use. We didn’t come here to sit in a hotel room! Walkable to all downtown and Pikes Place, etc. Right across from courthouse courtyard full of beautiful trees, restaurants and bars nearby, and nearby sights and shopping!
