This hotel has very nice, large and well-appointed rooms and the overall condition of the property is first-rate. On my visit, however, the hotel was undergoing renovations that closed or curtailed many of the advertised amenities that sold me on the property when I booked my room (restaurant, bar, gift shop all closed). The hotel is not walkable to the city's top visitor attractions and the restaurant selection in the immediate area is not great - although it has 1 or 2 gems. If you don't have a car and are not adept at public transportation, prepare for $20 cost per ride for cabs/rideshare services to get to key attractions and factor that into your travel budget before choosing this over a higher priced but more convenient location. All that aside, this is a very nice choice if you want to be in the Seattle Center area. My one prevailing complaint concerns the hotel's policy around temporary luggage storage. On checkout, we wanted to store two small items for 2-3 hours before our train departure time. The desk clerk informed me that they could store my bags but I first had to download an app called "bounce" and pay $15 for an amenity that has always been free of charge in my experience. Faced with the choice of that or hauling my possessions around a somewhat barren area of Seattle all afternoon I agreed - but I don't understand why, if there must be a fee, it has to be so much (at least for hotel guests) and why this is not advertised to guests upfront.
