Got this room for $50 on Priceline. Needed a hotel for a pre-cruise and post-cruise stay.
The location was a little iffy. We walked by some people that made us feel unsafe. I would not walk around as a single or couple after dark here. Lots of homeless and seedy characters in the downtown area.
The hotel itself was fine. We detected a musty odor in the rooms on our first visit. A little street noise, not too bad. No smell in the room on the second stay. The rooms were clean, if not a little dated looking. Bathroom was also clean.
We tried the hot tub and gym on the lobby floor and they also were clean. The gym had 2 machines, I think, very small.
The free breakfast was great: fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, muffins, bagels, bread for toasting, waffle irons, coffee, tea, milk, etc. We took afvantage of breakfast every day.
There is a Whole Foods Mkt closeby that has lots of meal selections. We ate lunch at the Korean place across the street, it was good. We also had dinner at Two Bells Tavern and it was GREAT! Voted best burgers in Seattle. We also had pizza delivered from Paggliaci's and it was surprisingly good to us finicky NYers.
We were close to the Space Needle and it took us about 20 minutes to walk to Pikes Market.
The front desk staff was very accomodating and helped us with transportation and took care of our luggage when we could not check in early.
Note that this is a completely non-smoking hotel and you sign a waiver stating that you will be charged $250 if you smoke in your room. There even is a sign outside that you cannot smoke within 100 ft of the building.
All in all, a good value for the price. Gotta love that free breakfast!
