The Merchant's Cafe is a classic, right on Pioneer Square (the heart of old downtown Seattle), and an interesting part of Seattle's history. As a former house of ill repute, it has plenty of character. That makes for a unique stay. The atmosphere is really cool and unique. So are the twenty seven steps going up to the second floor (be aware). Darcy is doing a great job keeping this piece of history alive. If our future brings us back to Seattle again, this will be the first place we look at to stay.
