It is definitely Location/location/location. Just a short walk to the museums, musical venues, the hop on/hop off bus system, and wonderful little spots to eat and drink. We felt very safe walking home at 11 pm. The room is comfortable and the shared bath is conveniently located and kept neat and clean. It is a 4 story walk-up so be aware of that. The stairs are not steep, so it is definitely do-able even for us 80 yr olds. Rainier is easily reachable and communicates quickly. We would definitely stay again.
