Pier 69

Sweet small hotel. Nice linens. Clean rooms with great service.

I booked this place on Expedia because the ratings were relatively high when compared with the modest price and closeness to downtown Seattle. When I checked in, what I learned says it all.........."It is commonly used by guests going on a cruise with CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES". Carnival in my view, is the Motel 6 of cruise lines............the bottom of the food chain. So the place was just.............fair. Needs major updating. Very slow elevators. Noisy a/c's that go on and off during the night (perhaps to dampen the screaming or gun shots on the outside) The area is also just fair, so if you are going for a walk at night, either have a concealed-carry permit or stay within a few blocks where there are a handful of pretty good local eateries. Lot of homeless people nearby, so be prepared for that. Lots of drug users too, and not talking about marijuana. Seattle used to be such a beautiful city. You can still walk(during the day) to Pike's Place Market, the Aquarium and the Space Needle. Next time I go to Seattle, I would pay more and stay in a nicer place and neighborhood.
