My boyfriend and I came here for his 30th birthday and had such a great time. Everyone at the front desk was so nice and helpful, the bar staff was attentive and friendly. It’s very walkable and in a convenient location. My only cons would have to be how small the room is, how uncomfortable the pillows and blanket were, and how the iPad to control everything in the room didn’t really work. The tv didn’t work well either which sucked but overall it was a nice stay!

The hotel is modern with high tech room features. Breakfast buffet was pretty good too. Service was slow though I ordered fresh towels and it never arrived I had to go down and get it myself. Location is nice very close to the Space Needle and MOPOP.

We arrived at the property at noon knowing check in was not until two. We asked if early check in was possible and we were told they could check us in at one. We went and had lunch close by and returned at one. The woman before us was checked in without issue and we were in the middle of being checked in when a woman manager came up and told the girl helping us that because the hotel was completely booked that they could not check anyone in until two. We reminded them that we had already been told we could check in at one but it made no difference. We then sat in the lobby for an hour. We were only in town for a football game for one night and we feel like we lost two hours of our very short trip. Had we been told at noon that we could not check in until two, we would have dropped our bags and gone into the city to do some of the things we wanted to do. Instead we sat in the lobby and watched the same manager eat her lunch. While more and more people showed up causing a large amount of people to start showing up and creating a back up at two when they could finally start checking people in. All because it was full that night? It was very aggravating and I will never book this property again because of that one manager. Everyone and everything else was fine and I would have given a good review.

Logistics are bad. Parking situation on the booking was confusing and no load/unload zone by the lobby door to go in and ask. Pulled into a pay lot across the street with a meter maid making rounds so I sat there and tried to call the lobby for assistance. No on site phone number and the off site call center kept me on hold for 30+ minutes. Finally I just paid the $40 for the lot and went to check in, only to be told by staff in the lobby not to park there due to constant break ins. Had to pay another $45 to park in their contracted lot that is accessed via the alley. They have a bunch of iPads in the lobby to check in, and overly decorated “hang space”, and only one person on site. It’s obviously built by tech bros for tech bros and was more of a reminder of how crappy things are when you try to replace human service industry workers with tech. Overall the experience was giving post-venture-capital-dystopia. The few humans who do work there were delightful, had a nice chat with the bartender in the lobby bar and they kept the place spotless.

The room is tiny but for the price, it's good. The lobby looks nice and stylish, but the room looks okay. The room I stay at has a smell, not horrible or anything but it's there. Soaps and lotion smell bad in my opinion, don't know who approve those to be used. The "closet" is tiny, right by the door (you can open the door and hang your clothes from outside kind of small). There's storage under the bed. There's an iPad to control everything- curtains, lights, TV; but it can be lagging sometimes. Surrounding areas are nice, convenient, walkable to many places. If you just need a decent affordable place to sleep and shower at night, this hotel maybe for you. Housekeeping "threw away" two of my shopping bags with stuff OBVIOUSLY in it (no, my bags were not in the trash can). The manager said if it's on the floor, near the door or near the trash can, Housekeeping would think it's trash and throw it away(???). I said my shopping bags were NOT in the trash can, and you can clearly see my stuff in the bags. Manager said they're not allowed to go through guest's belonging (??) then why would you throw your guest's belonging away? male manager worked that one night made no sense at all (1/8/26). He offered to refund me the shirt price, but I have other stuffs. But whatever. I was NOT happy with this explanation at all. It feels like he tried to put the blame on me. I needed to extended another night but I decided to go to a different hotel down the street instead.

Got in after hours and was worried that we would have a hard time getting in. no problem for the self check in, and bar was still open when we go there. For a last minute booking and a 1st time getaway this was fun and intimate. i was nervous the smaller untraditional style would shock my partner, but they were stunned and looked at it as an experience. the only downside was the fact the bathroom "shower/toilet" area had no fan... you could hear everything you or your partner were doing in there. the big bed was so cozy and great for watching the views of sunrise/sunset. the Ipad was my fav ft all at your finger tips. I love a smart room/ lighting and this was great.
