drlynn Posted July 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2009 We stayed at this hotel in June. (family of 3) Our pre-cruise night the room was tiny, but clean. We questioned whether we wanted to change our post-cruise 4 day stay to a different hotel, but the breakfast was good, and the people friendly, and we liked the location. Anyway, when we came back we had a HUGE room with a deck and whirlpool tub! It is somewhat dated, but clean, and that is what is important to us. It is a very easy walk to Seattle Center. We also walked to Pikes Place and all over the city, including Union Lake. If you stay here, check out Zeek's pizza! It is about 3 blocks away and had amazing food! Have fun--we did!

gridswaldtravlers Posted July 18, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Thanks for your review, I read a lot about this place and it seemed ok. I have already booked a larger room. Do you know if it is in the bus free zone or not? And did you take a shuttle from airport tp hotel? And if you did what one? Thanks for any help!

drlynn Posted July 18, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2009 This hotel is not in the free bus zone, but I think they said you could walk about a block or so to pick up the free bus. We didn't use it so I can't help you a lot with that. We grabbed a cab at the airport, and it was $40+. Five wouldn't fit in a cab so a shuttle may be a better choice. The hotel offers shuttles for a fee to the ballpark if there is a game in town, and to a few different places. They also will take you to the pier for a fee. We took a cab to the pier for $6, plus tip, so it was a good option for us. Again with 5 people.......you do have to sign up for the hotel shuttle bus the night before so be sure to ask at the front desk when you check in. Don't forget to check for the fresh hot cookies that show up throughout the day at the front desk!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gridswaldtravlers Posted July 29, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted July 29, 2009 That is awesome. Thank you!!! Can you book when you book the hotel or is it a first come first serve type thing? I was able to book a room on line for May 2009 and you sign up for the shuttle the moring you need it.They also have larger rooms for large families and free cont. breakfast & parking. Not a bad deal for bigger families. I haven't read to many bad reviews. I heard the free bus zone is only a couple blocks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
