Great place to stay especially if you're into history or architecture. Great value, spend your money on good food not on the exclusivity of your own bathroom. I really enjoyed the character of the building. This is a hotel from 1941, there were really cool transoms over all the doors to the rooms. Their was a great vibe all of the other guests were very friendly. I didn't have a problem with it but the building is close to Boeing airfield and you cane here the planes land. This is my first trip to Seattle (definitely not my last) that seems to be something they just deal with in this city. Their were plenty of restaurant's and bars un the block and 11 minutes away there is a Starbucks that opens at 3:30am if you're on East coast time. Thanks Angielena, I was in town for a funeral and you made things a lot easier!....one more thing, there is a rain shower, if you're a tall guy this is FIRE!!!
