This is a nice chic hotel with a great location in downtown Seattle. We checked in at 7:30pm on a Saturday night. When we pulled up, the valet told us they have no parking spots left for guests. We were instructed to self-park at the parkade down the block. Since Seattle was just one stop on a long driving vacation, we wanted to leave some stuff in the car (such as sporting equipment, cloths that have been worn, etc.) but having the vehicle that far away would've been very inconvenient if we need anything. So, we lugged everything up to the room. The parkade also has no in-out privileges or daily parking, so everytime we left, the clock started on the charges again until it reaches a maximum If you think a $35 valet charge per day at a hotel is expensive, we must've paid twice that on one of the days. I think that if a hotel has parking problems, they should ask during reservations whether you need a parking spot and reserve it for you.
The hotel itself is nice and the check-in staff and bellhop were very friendly. The "poor" service rating on this review is only because of the parking and valet problems. The room is comfortable and a decent size for a business hotel. The location is great and within walking distance of many restaurants, the art museum, Pike Place market, and Pioneer Square. The space needle is a little further but walkable as well.
As mentioned before by others, in this day and age there is no reason to charge for WiFi in the rooms except to gouge you guests or inconvenience them to go down to the lobby or find a Starbucks.
There is no swimming pool at this hotel.
