“Clean, friendly, don't expect anything else.”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

This hotel is very difficult to find and get to, in a part of town that seems just a little bit dodgy. But I don't feel unsafe here, and the property is clean, mostly well maintained, and the front desk people are friendly. Their free breakfast, while not a huge selection, is fairly decent by hotel standards - no pre... More

“Exactly what you'd expect.”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 via mobile

No frills hotel in a great location for visiting the Space Needle, EMP, Key Arena, ect. Good price, clean, friendly staff and a great Space Needle view. Buffet breakfast was also very good but they could use more seating. Would absolutely visit again if going to that area.

“Exceptional staff”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

The staff was very helpful in assisting me to get to various meetings, suggesting the best routes, and helping me plan walking routes. They had a power outage during my stay...what professionalism in calming people stuck in the elevator and dealing with the usual jerks who acted like it was their fault that the electricity was out.

Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my staff! They work very hard, and it is so nice to see their efforts recognized. Power outages are certainly inconvenient for everyone involved, and I appreciate your understanding and kudos. I hope you will choose to stay with us again on your next trip to Seattle!

“Express in real sense”

This hotel's only positive is its proximity to the Seattle City Centre ! Front Desk staff was so straight faced & expressionless that it made me think that they are doing us a favour by renting us the room for the 2 nights !! The room was very dungy & the damp carpet smell was hitting your nose bad. The... More

“Great staff”

Upon check in the staff was friendly and helpful. We asked for dining and bar suggestions and they provided us with great options and took the time to take out a map and draw the directions. The room size was good and the view of the space needle out my window was postcard like. The carpet in my room was... More

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your comments! Our renovations are well under way, and we are really excited to see the finished product.

“Very nice last minute choice”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

My daughter and I reserved this hotel for two nights just the day before our arrival for a quick Seattle visit. I wanted to visit the new Chihuly museum which is a quick walk of a few blocks from the hotel, and the $10/night parking I can assure you is the least expensive in the area! We were expecting remodeling... More

Two of us stayed for two nights at the end of February. A room selection on the back side of the hotel on the sixth floor proved a good choice for a quiet nights sleep (traffic, school sports teams staying in hotel, etc.). Service at the front desk was excellent except for the morning of check out. It appeared the... More

“Walking Distance Space Needle. Good if on a budget. Not great for business travelers”

Parking is very limited at hotel and oversized vehicles may have issues with the small spaces available. Great location if you enjoy walking and touring a city by foot. Only a 5min walk to Space Needle and a 15 min walk to the downtown shopping area of Seattle. Price is average for a HIExpress. Hotel has a friendly staff and... More
