Great location, clean and lobby is nicely being remodeled. Had a late check-in at 10:30 and wonderful, quick check in service and the roll-away bed was immediately brought to our room. Great morning lounge breakfast with the best hotel coffee we’ve had in a very long time!

The hotel is great location and safe area. Walk around 10 minutes to the Light Rail from the airport and an easy walk to pie place market around 15 minutes. Front desk staff was friendly.

Very easy to get to from Seattle Lite Rail Link Symphony Station, only 3 blocks but was all up hill. Pull 40lb luggage was a good workout.
