“Great Stay”
LikedHad a wonderful stay. The staff was very friendly and professional. The room was clean and comfortable, great amenities at a great location. Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. Shuckers and Olympic bar was amazing. I’d happily stay here again. I highly recommend it.
DislikedThe hotel was great and friendly staff, but The George restaurant service was a bit disappointing and could do better. Still recommend for the stay.

“Great location and a well appointed hotel.”
LikedThe room was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. Dining is available from room service to fine dining. The location was close to light rail, monorail, and Pike Market. There are restaurants and bars in walking distance.
DislikedThe lobby bar while beautiful is extremely busy on weekends. Charges kept appearing on our credit card. We had to go ask the front desk to clear up the charges. We had prepaid but they still charged us. It was easily addressed.
