This is a unique hotel experience, staying in a 100 year plus Seattle landmark with a built-in historian and curator in the person of Jan Johnson. The tea and coffee shop downstairs is exceptionally good. Area around the hotel is a bit sketchy and lots of places boarded up and closed for the time being. Not a comfortable neighborhood to stroll around in at night.But easy access and walking distance to everything you want to do in downtown Seattle. The hotel itself has a lot of rustic charm, cozy and interesting, even if everything is kind of squeaky!
