The front desk staff did their very best to help accomplish the impossible: to find me a quiet room in this hotel. After various attempts I ended up staying on the 17th “executive level” floor. The refurbished room on the executive level was indeed much nicer than the standard rooms on lower levels with a modern, tasteful décor and state of the art equipment, including a flat screen TV.
The hotel actually is in a good location about 6 blocks from the Pike Place Public Market, and one side of the hotel offers views of the Space Needle. That said, it is an older hotel with windows offering little to no insulation from the busy down town street noise, and all rooms are pretty much face a street. They have tiny balconies though, which offer opportunity to step outside and enjoy the view, a rare feature these days.
As mentioned the front desk personnel was very nice, but otherwise some little housekeeping went wrong as well, e.g. I had no towels in the room and my bill included parking even though I had no car (and said so at check in).
With ample choice for dining in close proximity, I did not try the hotel restaurant but rather enjoyed a nice meal at Lola’s just a few steps away from the hotel. All in all, I would not return to this hotel, but rather try the Andra next door.
