I doubt anyone goes to Seattle for quiet or easy parking so the tight parking and construction noise is par for the course no matter where you stay. We had a great visit with our grandkids who live in Beacon Hill and the location was perfect. Breakfast at Geraldines was our last meal in town and you really need to try their breakfast. Thanks Juli for a great place to stay. PS. If it is late just park and follow the directions. It was easy to find when walking but harder to find from the car.
