I love this little hotel! Yes, the rooms are on the smaller side, but we weren’t planning to spend much time in our room anyway. It took us about 2 minutes to walk to Climate Pledge Arena for the Torrent game, and about 5 minutes to walk everywhere else we wanted to go. The staff are friendly and helpful and the view is spectacular. The kitchenette is perfect for storing and reheating leftovers. I will always stay here when visiting Seattle!
