great location and value
The lower Queen Anne district is vibrant and lively - great places to eat (especially Thai food), a gourmet market open till midnight, and near the seattle center. Staff friendly. The hotel is pretty charming - apartment like rooms with kitchen areas with full fridges, stove and sink. Feels like a home away from home. I would say that if you like your cookie cutter sterile hotel room feel you probably won't like this place, but if you are a tourist looking to be 'where it's at' this is great. I'm a business traveler who has been in Seattle weekly for three months now. Sometimes I opt for quieter places, but if I'm ever returning as a tourist, this will be near the top of my list.
Bad stuff - not the easiest place to approach by car due to all the one way roads; valet parking if you don't like that; street noise if your windows are open and your TV is not on, no elevators, so if you don't want to climb stairs you'll be even closer to the street noise.
