Such an underrated gem! Highly recommend for a unique experience travelling to Seattle. The host/hotel manager/person full of wonderful stories and history, Jan, is an amazing host. She's preserved the historic hotel so well that you don't feel the change of time during your stay! All furnishings are original and in good condition. The affiliated cafe next door is a good place to go to too. Affordable coffee and pastries, historic nuances, a working record and cassette player, and an adorable resident cat named MiuMiu makes the place feel homey. Although our stay was only 2 nights long, we felt as if we were part of a community and really made a human connection with everybody there!
In addition, the neighbourhood is great too. Good food and good stores. Highly recommend the New Century Tea shop nearby.
My only warnings to others is that the bathrooms are shared with other guests on the floor and that there is a mild homelessness and theft issue in the neighbourhood.
