I absolutely loved this hotel! It's so homey, it feels more like an apartment. The shared lobby space is cozy & warm & there is free candy in bowls all over the place! You can pick out a record or cassette, grab a drink @ the bar & relax. The rooms are above a live music venue & they give ear plugs in your room, but honestly - I found the music sort of soothing. The bands were done by 12:30am every night. The Here-After is my new favorite Seattle bar, with a comedy stage / movie theater with nightly acts. The hotel in the perfect area, within walking distance to Pike Place & the Space Needle - and right across the street from the Cyclops, which is a close 2nd favorite bar. There is not a front desk, but there was staff there every day, as well as a room you can go into for extra towels/sheets/toiletries/anything you need to replenish. The rooms are very cleaned, have heated bathroom floors & apart from the music downstairs, very quiet. There are great views if you're on the Elliott Bay side of the building. You will have to pay for parking somewhere, or be available to move your vehicle after the free street parking hours are up. Overall, this was an excellent stay!
