We enjoyed our stay. Rooms were clean and definitely put you back into the historical period from when the hotel was first built. It was great to have a sink in the room. We loved the tea house connected to the hotel. The proximity to both Japan town and China town are great if you want to walk to get food. If you have trouble with stairs, this would be a difficult place to stay. The only other issue is that you do have to contact either a door person or the owner if you want to enter the hotel. This step can be a bit cumbersome. We have definitely added the tea house to our list of must-go-to places whenever we again visit Seattle.
