It’s very welcoming, well decorated, and a good place to relax. I got to the room and I felt a sense of relief of being able to relax. The iPad controls all the lights, heat/air con, blinds, music and tv. I would give this 10/10, I will book again if I am in Seattle.

Nice atmosphere and nice lounge. Francesca from the staff what an amazing one! She helped us with everything. I only did not like the room’s size it was rather small but liked the tablet room experience. Close to the shopping center, to the pier.

Our stay was okay but I won’t be staying here again. We had pros and cons like anywhere else. When we first arrived, the customer service at the front desk was great! We were told which rooms had the best views, you are able to choose your view of preference at no extra charge. It was a self check in system that was easy to use. When we got to our room, there was no iPad. I called the front desk & the ambassador said that specific room didn’t have one & I could download the app on my phone or he can switch our room. I tried to download the app, it didn’t work, so he switched our room remotely. We didn’t have to go back down to the lobby which was good. You do have to request room service, but there is a cut off time. We were trying to request at 10AM on the iPad & it was saying it was too late. I understand from a sustainable standpoint, but they should let you know the cut off time for room service. They advertise that their bar is 24hours. You look on the iPad at any time & it says “open”. We went down there once at 1AM & there were 4 team members sitting, we asked them can we order drinks & they told us the bar was closed. We were only able to get water & the snacks/sodas they had in the refrigerators located next to the bar. Even those had a sign next to them with an open and close time. I guess they made an “exception”. They shouldn’t advertise 24/7. But it is a good location, it’s a short walk to WholeFoods, CVS, Walgreens & restaurants. No trouble parking on the st

The rooms are a bit too small for Seattle downtown. I understand if this was in NYC but for Seattle it's too small. I sat at the bar waiting to be served but they refused to acknowledge me so I had to leave. Service staff is not rude but the service is not great. The iPad to control the room and the blackout curtains were great.

While the beds were comfortable, the AC did not work at all and the room was SO hot. When we said something to the receptionist, they didn’t do much and we had to stay in a hot room all weekend. The AC was set to 64 and the room was 74 degrees. Also, the batteries need to be replaced in the smoke detector so the light blinked all night which kept me up. Nothing was mentioned about this prior. I felt like this property was NOT worth the money spent on it.

Stayed here for a film festival and it was quite nice. The rooms are very small. At 6’4” I could almost touch both walls. The bed is large and comfy, but if you’re a couple one will have to climb over the other to get out as only one side of the bed doesn’t have a wall. The shower is great and actually feels large in comparison. The desk is a joke, but the lobby has a great feel so I was able to work there. The breakfast was pretty good and the all you can drink espresso drinks that comes with it is fabulous for a caffeine addict like me. The staff overall were great but a few seemed extremely grumpy. Overall, though no complaints.
