Homewood Suite by Hilton, Seattle

We had never been to Seattle before so we booked our stay here sight unseen. It proved to be a wonderful surprise. It all felt clean and fresh. Lots of room in the living room, kitchen and bedroom for us and our two kids to separate out for some down time. Our king sized bed was supremely comfortable. And the breakfast buffets in the beautiful diningroom downstair provided ample food for us all in the morning--in fact going down for breakfast was a real highlight in our days. This dining room was a great public sitting space for the rest of the day, too, because of the comfortable couches and upholstered chairs. The location was great because it was so close to the space needle site. We walked back from Pike's market through the Belltown district one day, and took a tour around the Queen Anne district another. The only complaint we have is that the roll away cot my daughter used was thin and wiry and very uncomfortable. We had to buffer it with some couch cushions before she could sleep on it. Then she was fine. But if they fix this problem, this place really is perfect, like an extremely well cared for residential hotel where you wouldn't mind staying forever.
