I had a wonderful stay at this upscale hotel right in the heart of Seattle. The location was absolutely ideal for exploring local attractions like Pike Place Market and the waterfront, making it super convenient. The room was spacious and elegantly furnished, contributing to a nice, relaxing atmosphere. However, I did encounter a few hiccups during my stay-most notably, the service regarding the mini bar and a noisy street that made it less than perfect. Overall, a lovely experience, but not without its flaws.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its stunning historic ambiance and beautiful entrance. The room was spacious and very comfortable, especially as I got upgraded to an Executive Suite, which was perfect for my family. However, the dining experience could improve as the breakfast selection was a bit lacking, and there was a noticeable line at checkout, which was frustrating for some guests. Overall, it's a charming place with great amenities and a festive atmosphere during my stay.
