Well, first and foremost, it's new. Along with most new things, you tend to "overlook" the details because everything is shiny, new and pretty. The decor is ultra modern and beautiful. The lobby is gorgeous and contains many little nooks and areas to lounge around - be sure to check out the mosaic pineapple on the floor when you walk in.
Back to the rooms. Pros: NEW, very comfy beds, awesome bathroom with walk-in shower (no bathtubs), mini-fridge with microwave, large flat screen TV with DVD player. Cons: LOUD due to the wood laminate floors in rooms, traffic noise if you are at the front of the hotel, poor water pressure (water saving shower heads), small, did I mention loud? All in all they are very nice but you can hear doors shutting, ice machines (if you are lucky enough to be by one), voices in the hall, traffic noise, and people walking above you and beside you.
Overall, the hotel is a good value for the location. You can walk to several restuarants and if you are in town for a concert it is only a couple blocks to Key Arena and city center. Biggest plus: FREE PARKING. This is almost unheard of in Seattle. Beware, however, the spots are tiny and hard to come by. Get there early and leave your car or you won't have a spot when you come back. I would stay here again the next time I'm in town for a concert, but other than that it's not for us.
