This was a good place to stay for the price. It was clean enough for me, and checking in and out was easy. As everyone has said, the shower is more of a mist than a normal shower so be prepared. That being said it worked well enough for my thick hair, it was more of the rinsing off your body that was the challenge. I ran into an issue with them only having one bathroom when someone was in it for an hour and I was trying to shower before I left and caught my flight but other than that I was able to get in when I needed to. Didn't even meet the people that lived there but enjoyed hanging out with the other guests! Great location in Capitol Hill - close to Broadway and pine/pike where there's a lot going on! All in all I would stay here again if I was coming to Seattle on a budget.
