Hal was very communicative leading up to our stay and upon our arrival was very helpful in laying out all the Fremont hotspots. The Pad has a great location, very centrally located and we took advantage of the provided bikes and spent a great day exploring the city. The Pad itself is quirky and cozy. Based on the location calling it the "launch pad" may be more appropriate as we were so close to so many great things we were rarely there. Only complaint was the noise a couple of evenings. Being on east coast time we were consistently heading to bed around 10-11pm and on our last night what seemed to be a live band was playing or practicing somewhere in the vicinity. Thankfully we were so exhausted from running around and exploring we passed out pretty quickly anyway. Would recommend the Pad for singles or couples looking to explore Seattle.
