Any time I can stay in this building I do. The check in and checkout are seamless. The building is relatively quiet, you can hear the alley people occasionally, but it's nothing out of the norm. The rooftop view is amazing. The building is so close to the Space Needle and about a 20 min (unless you have long legs like my husband at 6'4, maybe 15 min) walk to the Pike Market Place. The surrounding area has local coffee shops and the vibe is just really cool. Highly recommend this place (area) if you are a first time visitor, this will help you feel at ease.
