Bed was very uncomfortable.

The bed was very uncomfortable and when we entered the room all the pillows were on the floor. Not a great first impression. The bar area was right under our room so there was quite a bit of noise from that and we could hear people talking from the lobby in our room with the door closed. For the money I would not recommend.

Pros: The room was lovely!
Cons: Our view was a parking lot.
Location: It is close to Western Washington University.
We loved the room - the jacuzzi tub and the fireplace added extra comforts. Staff was attentive. We did not get a room with a view (although I thought that is what I chose on Travelocity), but the restaurant provided great views of the waterfront.

WE liked the large room with a fireplace and the size of nite tables plus the dining room with a beautiful view. However, we found this lovely Hotel needing a good cleaning. For example, the shower stall had moulding around the ceiling and between the tiles, in fact the room appears scruffy. The wine classes were left with lipstick on them. The Room Maid did not bother to place cleaner glasses. The elevator was really scruffy and construction debrises on the carpet.
