Hal has definitely the most interesting and unique place you can stay at in Seattle and is very welcoming to boot. One caveat: parking is difficult in the area, so this place is best for those who want to leave their car parked during the stay and walk, bike, and take transit around Seattle. Transit options are great with direct routes to the Space Needle, downtown Seattle, the University of Washington, and Safeco Field/Century Link field (where the Mariners and Seahawks play).
