Having never been to Seattle before, I was worried that West Seattle might be too far removed from the rest of the city. However, we were close enough to get anywhere we wanted to go in good time and West Seattle was a charming and relaxing refuge at the end of the day. My wife and I enjoyed walking to cafes and restaurants along Alki Beach while neighbors came out to socialize while their kids practiced beach volleyball. It was such a lovely neighborhood and a completely unique and defining experience. The room was exactly as described as well as clean and quiet. Marian was very good about checking in to see that we were comfortable. If I return to Seattle I would absolutely stay in West Seattle and at this location again.
