What a great place at a great location! It's close to capitol hill, downtown, uptown, belltown... if you want serenity and privacy just the outskirts of downtown Seattle, this place is IT. If you really want great views at one of the tall hotel buildings, you can fork several hundred $$ per night but I would rather stay at Erik and Pam's cottage. It's interior is impeccable - maybe except the deer head - and everything from the decor, color scheme and kitchen countertop was sweet! Plus the cottage is separate from the main house and is located in the middle of their lush, green garden. It's a shame that we stayed there only for a night and we will be back.. hopefully soon..
