This was the perfect spot to watch the fireworks from the space needle. We loved the view of the water as well, it was just as pictured in the photos. The place was very clean and well thought out. It’s a lot of stairs to get all the way up to the roof but worth it.
Word of caution - the main level doesn’t have a bathroom so you have to climb a short flight of stairs to reach a bathroom if you are hanging out in the kitchen/living room.
Overall a great place if you have good knees!
