We stayed here in August 2011. The hotel was basically really nice - we had a space needle view, there's a fantastic tub, bed was extremely comfortable and staff very friendly. It did always feel like the service was never quite perfect. Valets took awhile, we requested a vase twice (after a friendly staffer saw we walk in with flowers and suggested it) that just never showed up, and they weren't ready to check us in until exactly 4:00pm even though when we showed up originally they thought the room would be ready by 2:00pm. I suppose I can't really fault them for that last thing, they don't have to have the room ready until check-in time, but it felt like we got "just 20-30 more minutes" several times.
It is handy being above a whole foods, a super fancy restaurant (that we didn't eat at but that got good reviews) and a nice pizza place. It's a good thing they have all those amenities on site though, as this hotel is a good 1/2-1 mile from anything worth walking to. And that is not a pretty walk, it's a walk through a pretty industrial area.
So I'd say it was pretty good, but there were enough drawbacks (mainly location) that I wouldn't stay there next time we visit. I still love the Hotel 1000- it's too bad they doubled their prices since our last visit!
