"The hotel is nice, clean, and well‑maintained. The staff were great, they let me check in couple hours early at no extra charge and even stored my luggage for free after checkout. I was initially worried about homelessness in the area, but it wasn’t bad at all as long as you take the right route. Avoid 3rd Street; just use 2nd or 4th Street to walk to Pike Place. Everything is within walking distance."
