Cinemark Century Olympia

hotel staff were friendly and checkin was easy. We were offered a very early checkin in a room on the ground floor which we took because we were tired after a long overnight flight. the staff asked if we were ok with the ground floor room and when i questioned why they asked, they replied that some people just dont like being on the ground floor. We didnt know that the ground floor room windows were grilled and backed onto the alley way behind. The area is a little sketchy so i did feel a little unsafe. I think the rooms on the other levels would have been quite nice and offered more light. The hotel was convenient to some eating places. There is a security guard outside the hotel- freindly guy who did his job really well. Checkin and check out were quick and easy. Shuttle to the pier was wonderful.

Although an older hotel, the Mediterrean Inn has updated rooms and bathrooms beautifully. Their lobby is clean and welcoming. The rooftop lounge is lovely with a beautiful view of the Space Needle. Best is the location! Across the street is a Safeway. All along Queen Anne are wonderful ethnic restaurants AND the space needle and most of Seattle's tourist spots are well within walking distance. All for a reasonable price.
