We're entering the W hotel in Seattle on the Seneca Street Side (important to do because the check-in desk is on the second level!). We're greeted by a young professional staff who are genuiney attentive and fully aware that even though their hotel is a meeting place for the upwardly mobile youngsters that make Seattle great, a lot of their customers are a genertion older. And they respect that. Kudos. The lobby, lounge and bar/restaurant are colorful, an explosion of post-modernism...and quite simply what all of Seattle is about. We booked a Cool Corner Room, which turned out to be so clean, so spacious, and comfortably sleek and modern with the decor knob turned down just enough to welcome you, leave you feeling...young and ready to take on one of America's best cities. Naturally, there's a Stabucks across the street (yay!) and you're within a short walk to Pikes Place Market; a quick taxi gets you to the Space Needle. W is a great place to land on your feet. Priced a little higher than most - but well worth it. Please note that 4th Street is a major thru way, so there is traffic. But isn't that what makes a stay at a downtown hotel sort of ...charming?
