"Cool unique place to stay. Very clean…like the bottom of my socks were clean! Clean. Bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. Staff was very friendly and helpful about everything. Bar was fun. Location is not near touristy downtown like the Pike’s Place and the waterfront but you can walk but it is uphill coming back. Will definitely stay again!"
