My spouse and I traveled to Seattle for a respite from east coast heat and humidity. We absolutely loved staying at The Pad. Hal’s tips about the neighborhood and public transportation got us off to a running start. The location is ideal for walking to restaurants, shops, public transportation, a grocery store, and the Sunday Fremont farmers market. The Pad itself was fantastic. We had privacy to sit at the little table outside for breakfast and coffee, and to leave the windows open all night. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed: French press, water kettle, cooktop, refrigerator, toaster oven, and microwave. There were plenty of towels and pillows and the bed was comfortable. For relaxing at home we alternated between KEXP and vinyl on the turntable. It was so cozy and comfortable. We’ll definitely be back as well as recommending The Pad to friends.
