Loved every detail of this hotel, with the exception of the shower. Our room was beautiful, creative, quiet and peaceful. I took a bath and it was also wonderful. But the shower was a different story. The water seems to be on a constant rotation of cold to hot, no matter where you set it. Will probably still go back, because everything else was so delightful.

This place is expensive and not worth it!! And then on top of it you have to pay a ridiculous amount to park. The room didn’t have a fridge or a microwave. $15 to a buffet of only eggs, potatoes, sausage and bacon. I would never recommend or stay here again!!

Had a great time. Love the decor and vibe of the whole place. My only complaint was there was an odd smell in the hallway and in our room. Couldn't tell if it was like a cleaner or if it was someones bad astringic perfume that just seemed to permeate everything. It kind of smelt like herbal/ musty /hospital like... It was really weird. Other than that we had a great time.

This is a beautiful property. I would definitely stay here again. The one strange detail: the plastic liners for the trash cans in my room were just folded and draped over the edge, instead of being put inside and ready to be used.

Beautiful spacious room but my disabled husband drove up with me (extremely sick) and there was no parking. We had to park over four blocks away! Drug deal in front of us and men walking in packs. Very spooky area. Breakfast was very limited. Children didn’t end up eating.

Helpful front desk. Probably should not have a resort fee, but at least got two beers a night. Right next to food carts and Pioneer Square, giving good access to the surrounding region. Nice rooms, friendly staff, would stay again. Comfortable lobby with a piano, chess, and fireplace. Delicious coffee and tea. Fitness room has a lot of equipment and is well-maintained.

Everything was great. Great location, clean hotel, friendly staff. Everything was great with one exception: the over-used electric sockets were loose. Almost all of the electric sockets in the room were loose and couldn't hold the phone chargers in place leading to poor connection.

The interior has a very cool retro royal theme. The beddings were really nice to sleep on, plus the make up mirror in the bathroom is a big plus. Could do better on the lighting as one of the lamp bulb in the room was about to go out.
