My sister and I travel together and wanted to find a hotel in downtown Seattle close to the monorail (in Westlake Center about 2 blocks away) so we could visit the Space Needle and Chihuly Garden, close to Pike Place Market (about 6 blocks away) close to Nordstrom (2 blocks away) and close to the underground transportation center for a visit to Pioneer Square (again in Westlake Center about 2 blocks away). The Red Lion filled all of our desires!! Salvador Navarrete is the Director of Hotel Services and was at the front desk when we arrived. Salvador was very helpful and friendly and our room was ready for early arrival (yes -- we were lucky). The room was wonderful -- very clean and decorated very well. It was the perfect place to explore Seattle, go back to the hotel in the afternoon for a little rest and go back out again in the evening. We'll stay at the Red Lion whenever we're in Seattle.
