We stayed at the hotel two separate times on our trip to Washington last week. The location to all of the popular attractions is perfect. The one thing you'll learn about Seattle is that you'll get used to walking! While you can easily get around town in a rental car, it's much easier to just use your legs!
In regards to the hotel, it was very clean and includes your typical amenities, including shampoo, body wash, lotion and conditioner. This hotel uses a "pump" system to dispense the various items in the shower as well as at the sink, preventing a TON of waste with the little bottles! There is also a safe, refrigerator and microwave in the two different rooms that we stayed in (two double beds as well as a single double bed room).
The front desk staff was helpful, even though there was a little mixup when we checked in. There had been a large group that had checked in earlier in the day that wanted to move their rooms around for whatever reason. The person that had been working during that period accidentally gave away our room (two double beds) and we ended up staying in a single bed room for the night. The staff person quickly offered a lower price on the smaller room and indicated we could switch to our correct room the following night. No harm, no foul on that!
One thing to watch out here is the breakfast room, especially on the weekend. We went into the room around 9am and it was a NUT HOUSE. They do not have enough seating for the size hotel that it is, so plan on getting your food and taking it back to your room. The other guests I found to be very rude in the breakfast room, acting as if it was their last meal. But, I guess that can sometimes be expected when there are free items in the room!
The pool/whirlpool/sauna are all open 24 hours, which was nice, since most hotels close their pools/spa area down around 10-11pm.
Parking is $10/night, but free parking is VERY rare anywhere in the greater Seattle area. However, if you use Foursquare, you can check-in to the hotel location and unlock a free parking special! (At least as of when I was there last week...)
All in all, I would say that I would have no problem staying here again, especially with the location. You are just close enough to everything, yet far enough away to be away from the majority of the city noise.
