Historic hotel that was a wonderful place to stay for a Seattle visit if you're looking for something out of the ordinary. Everyone there was tremendously friendly and helpful accommodating to our plans as they changed. Very clean and well-kept, hard to imagine the effort that's gone into keeping it in as good shape as it is. Pay attention to the description, if you need air conditioning or don't like stairs this might not be the place for you. A quick 2-block walk to public transportation, although I felt we needed to pay attention to the situation around us at all times (which was true in other parts of Seattle as well). The tea house on the ground floor is definitely worth seeing (and eating at) as well.
