โIt was a wonderful and quiet room with a great view of the water.
The only drawback was the sewer line going into the bay was partially uncovered and exposed during the mid to low tide, which was unpleasant when outside for half an hour or so when there was an onshore breeze.โ
โThe hotel is located in a convenient place from where the port to Seattle is very near. The room was big and convenient. The breakfast was good enough.โ
โGated property was nice to see. I don't have anything bad to say about the motel itself but surrounding areas have a lot of homeless just like everywhere else now days.โ
"pros:
- If coming from the airport, taking the link train and getting off at Symphony station is very close to the hotel.
- Located in downtown, so itโs convenient for both going to the convention center and sightseeing.
- Relatively affordable price.
cons:
- The slope on Seneca Street is quite steep. It was really tough pulling a suitcase from Symphony hall station to the hotel.
- If booking through a third party (e.g., Hotels.com), they hold a $200 INCIDENTAL charge. This is a policy, but there was no prior notice about this. -> Fortunately, it was refunded immediately after checkout.
- The Wi-Fi speed in the room was surprisingly slow. It was noticeably slower compared to other places like cafes or the convention center.
- The staff was unfriendly, especially the woman at the front desk in the afternoon. I asked if I could change rooms because the Wi-Fi speed was too slow for my work, and her response was, "Moving to a higher floor wonโt make the Wi-Fi faster." When did I ask to move to a higher floor? I donโt understand her attitude. To add, they didnโt change my room.
- In terms of room assignments, I noticed that the hotel tends to assign people of color to lower floors when using the elevator.
