Space Needle and Chihuly Garden and Glass Combination Ticket
"Perfect location away from the crowds in the center, but easily accessible by bus or even walking. Beds were super comfortable and room is well appointed. We took advantage of the rooftop area to enjoy a view of the city with a bottle of wine."
"If I were to come back to Seattle, I would definitely consider staying here again! The staff couldn’t have been any nicer or more accommodating. The room was spacious and quaint. It was close enough to downtown that we were able to walk to big attractions easily. We used the valet parking and it was very easy."
