We loved the arboretum retreat. Just steps from the arboretum! After driving through the park and seeing people vying for limited parking did we realize how lucky we were to be so conveniently located. Also close to great restaurants in Capitol Hill. Perfect for visiting Seattle U or UW students. The colors and decor of the retreat are very pleasing, towels and bedding were lovely, not a thing missing. Quiet and calming. Will stay there again.
