"The room was as described and just how it looked in the photos. A little pricey, but we only booked three days in advance and were glad to have this as an option. Check-in instructions were late (we had to request them and received them 30-45 minutes after the allowed check-in time), but the process was easy and accurate once we received the instructions."

10/10 Excellent

"Great property for spending a week in Seattle with family! We had a great time each having our own floor. The stairs could get a little exhausting for one of our older guests, but she was able to manage! We felt like the location was extremely central for everything that we wanted to do across the city, with many things in walking distance, including a beautiful neighborhood."
