The rooms are pricey but I enjoyed the extra benefits the rooms came with that were unexpected like the $15 credit to Ben Paris, 50% admission to SAM as well as other benefits. I enjoyed having restaurant/lounge in the same building. And when it was time to stroll the city, the location was great as it provided walking distance to many places I wanted to check out.
I didn't know about the discount for parking if you book parking ahead of time. I couldn't find where to book parking. But regardless parking fees weren't too crazy and it was a short walk from and to the parking garage.

Loved the decor (very special wallpaper, leather accents on the room) and the top-floor terrace with great views of Pike Place Market, Elliott Bay and downtown. The restaurant (Ben Paris) is also notable, with the smart 15-dollar credit in the form of a casino token. The bed was very comfortable. The kettle-based in-room coffee service is a refreshing departure from the ubiquitous Keurig.
This hotel suffers from what I call the 4-star syndrome: no microwave (somehow it's considered plebeian for 4-star hotels) and a castrated no-freezer fridge - but wait, there was NO fridge at all at State, in-room or otherwise, and it was a real bummer. Yes, folks, the rich also refrigerate! But the most outrageous thing was $22.07 for 2 small bottles of boxed water. They had small, gray and inconspicuous stickers on them: "Available for purchase, $10". Each bottle was pint-sized (500 ml to be precise). I didn't notice the stickers and drank this liter of wine-priced water, finding out only later from my credit card bill. BEWARE THE BOXED WATER! Nobody will turn it into wine for you.

Front desk was very helpful and friendly. Location is the best quality of this hotel. Hotel restaurant is also very good.
The ice bucket was dirty and you have to make a trip to front desk to get ice. The room itself was tiny with view of next door building 3 feet away with pigeons roosting in the window frame. No natural light from window. No refrigerator in room. Amenities for the price was not worth it.

Service was amazing, location couldn't be better, the hotel felt very modern, fun and clean. Loved the rooftop terrace. The $15 amenity credit was perfect for having a drink and looking out over Pike Place. We are absolutely planning on coming back, hopefully soon!
There isn't a single thing we didn't like. The room was wonderful & I can't imagine a better way to enjoy all that the area has to offer.

The location was excellent. We were able to walk to many of our destinations. Recommend staying 6th floor or above with a water view. Otherwise may be looking at a parking
The room is a bit small and not set up well. No closet and only a small area to hang maybe shirts. The TV is also in an awkward place. Unable to watch unless you lay on the bed sideways. Too much chlorine in the water.

The space was amazing. A cozy getaway so close to everything. It was easy to come and go. The staff were very friendly (with the exception of the first day).
The first staff that greeted me was not so nice. I don’t think I ever saw her again. I was early and knew it. But the way she greeted me was different from the way she greeted the people after me. The elevator always smelled like gas. It was gross. There was a piece of toilet paper stuck on my shower floor. Luckily I had a disinfectant wipe that I used to scrub it off and clean it. Other than that it was great.

The location is excellent. Short walking distance from Pike’s Market and the monorail and Sea-Tac light rail stations. There are many restaurants within walking distance, and CVS and Target are (literally) next door. The check-in and check-out were very efficient. Front desk personnel were VERY helpful, and nice, at the same time. The room was great: They are good size, and nicely decorated. The TV was at least 55 inches, and had great colors. I had a king-size bed which was heavenly!!!!
They are short on cleaning staff, so you have ro call front desk before 10:00 am if you want your room cleaned on that day.

Superbly located close to Pike Market and University Street Link Station. A really well appointed room that felt like it hadn't been designed by a corporation. The restaurant was excellent - best grilled pork chop I've ever had - and local beer on tap. Staff were all really friendly and helpful. My best recommendation is I'd stay here again if I ever return to Seattle. Top Tip: if travelling from SeaTac Airport use the Link train - it costs $3 to University Street with a 5 min walk to the hotel. An Uber taxi will cost ~$70
Ergonomically not great if you need to work on a PC. Toilet paper was thin and bathroom could do with a toilet brush.

Excellent location down town! Staff and management were exceptional. Very courteous, professional and helpful. Restaurant food also excellent
Room ventilation was poor in my opinion. ( No fresh air) no small windows. Led to a "musty" stay sadly. No Minibar fridge for water, or medication. Thankfully Front desk could keep medication refrigerated at the reception area. I think a Mini fridge would benefit guests immensely for thier waters milk etc too.

Hotel was really stylish and room extremely comfortable. Loved the little touches such as water and snacks in reception, free postcards, tea and coffee in the rooms, great robes. Toiletries provided were great quality. Excellent location just a few minutes walk to Pike Place marketplace. Staff were super friendly. Rooftop terrace has great views. Bar and restaurant on site is really nice and has a great happy hour.
