Scores:

Hotel Design: 84 – Floor-to-ceiling windows and wood floors make this hotel feel both modern but also like it’s been part of Seattle for a long time. 

Location: 91 – A fantastic location for tourists visiting downtown Seattle – very close to Pike Place Market, the waterfront and many other downtown attractions. 

Sleep: 85 – Average sleep quality here. Some noise from the street can be noticeable. Not a big fan of the pillows as we found them a bit too soft. 

Service: 89 – Very good, with great front desk staff.

Room Design: 84 – Varies greatly, the standard room was slightly small but the Executive Studio Suites was vary spacious. 

Room Amenities: 84 – Average for a higher-end hotel. 

Hotel Amenities: 82 – It’s a smaller hotel with not a lot of amenities to offer; the gym is small but adequate and the restaurant/bars are open to the public and get busy quickly. The prosecco and cookie on checkin is always a nice touch!

Vibe: 89 – Casual and hip, with more of a boutique hotel feel due to its smaller size. 

Cleanliness/Maintenance: 92 – Very good overall. 

Value / Extras & Perks: 85 – Prices can be steep during peak summer months, but drop off considerably in fall/winter so the value you get may vary considerably. Our status included breakfast, which was above-average in quality.
