The only thing I didn’t like was the check in coz we arrived early around 11:30am so we left our luggage & requested for our rooms to be close to each other. However when we came back to check in one room is still dirty & this is around 6:40-7 pm. The front desk staff said their short staff do we have yo wait. The check in time is supposed yo be 4:00 pm. We waited patiently but I think that needs to be improved. We’re so tired that day being the flight started at 6:30 am & we’ve been up the whole day. One staff I remember was nice Jason, the rest on the fromt desk needs to improve their skills in dealing with people. Alittle smile or accomodating gestures like offering water etc.

The staff were exceptional! Rooms were clean and refreshing and the breakfast was a great perk. Walking distance to the space needle and other attractions too. The parking garage was very full when we checked out and as someone with a pickup as a daily driver I was glad I chose to bring something smaller for this trip.

Shower leaked into bathroom, had to mop up every time. Other than one visit to quick wipe bath sink, empty trash and remove the tip on the bed (w/o making the bed), nothing was done for 4 days. Had to ask for towels and tp. Place is nice and clean but housekeeping staff needs a meeting and shower needs repair.

Please be careful when you advertise that you have a restaurant on the premises. The bar is not a restaurant. This was one of the reasons we chose your location. It would have been helpful to have a list of close by, local restaurants that the could be provided to guests when they check in.
