There’s NO ELEVATORS. You have to carry your luggage up 6 flights of stairs. We help an older couple with their luggages. There’s no staff to assist you and when you call the number it take a long time for them to respond. We suppose to have someone help bring down the luggage in the morning and she never showed up. There’s homeless people doing drugs across the streets.

The only one minor problem was that I did not know my room would be on the 6th floor without an elevator. Although I much appreciate a European style facility, it would have been nice if it was made more clear in advertising that there is no elevator. The staff person was very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful property the room was small but what I requested. The Wi-Fi was excellent; I believe there is a meeting room, but it was full when I wanted to use it.The facility is very clean, the bed was awesome and uses self check in and out with a manager often somewhere on property. The neighborhood is funky with lots of dining and drinking opportunities close by.There is street noise (cool enough to open windows!) as it’s a densely packed community. Lots of sirens, dumpsters being emptied, crowd noises, etc, but it is what it is. All in all, I’d never heard of this brand before but will keep an eye out for it in the future.

Great location for walking to the Starbucks Roastry for breakfast each morning. Short Uber ride to all of the tourist spots in Seattle. Parking was in a garage one block over for $15 per day. Not a bad walk as long as you don’t have a lot of luggage to pull along, which I did not, thankfully. I felt safe enough walking around the neighborhood. The rooms are tiny, I mean TINY. Really only well served for one traveler or a couple that has minimal luggage! The bed was comfy, the shower nicely sized, and when I needed a microwave one night, I messaged through the Sonder App and had one within 10 minutes! Upon check-in, after using the code provided to enter the building, I found the stairs to climb to the 6th floor. Thankfully there was a phone number posted on a clearly marked sign that I could call for help with luggage. A Staff member happened to be coming down the stairs and quickly offered to have my bag sent up in the service elevator. My bag went up the service elevator and I climbed the stairs to the 6th floor, a good workout! Though there is NO front desk, NO one that greets you at the door, they are there… somewhere… you just message through the app and they quickly appear! All in all, a great location, overall clean room and help when you really needed it. I would recommend this hotel to the solo traveler, couples that don’t mind a lot of stairs and being in very close quarters. It’s not your typical Marriott experience, so just know that going in and you will be fine.

The only part about the room that was hard to work around was water leaking out onto the floor from where the glass shower doors met the tub/base. Otherwise I was happy with the room and how the setup was very minimal and efficient. The ability to turn the room into a cave with the curtains was really nice and made for easy sleeping, especially long into the morning.

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The pin pad entry made me feel incredibly safe. The staff was informative and very friendly. I chose a small room, but the layout and lighting made it feel bigger. The bed, linens, towels and amenities were fantastic. They offer hot, cold and room temperature filtered water at a station on every floor, where you can also refill some basics you may run low on. There were tons of restaurants and shops in the area immediately around the hotel. Public transit options were very close as well. Several tourist attractions were an easy twenty minute walk away, including Pike Place Market. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an elevated, yet affordable place to stay in Seattle.

This place was so super nice! Just FYI if your room is on an upper floor. There is no elevator. You have to go up the stairs. Super clean, nice neighborhood with lots of amazing places to eat. Public transport is easy to get to, kitty cafe is super close. There was an impromptu concert at the park when we went. There is even an art supply shop in easy walking distance! I will definitely come back solo or if I have a romantic partner. My daughter didn't like the glass shower in the room lol.

First time checking into a property without on-site staff, went really well! IMPORTANT: Make sure pre check-in is completed in advance, requires a few extra steps that you probably won't want to do at the front door. Property is clean and quiet, great proximity to public transit and local activities. The entrance is on a smaller street with low lighting, so exercise caution at night (as you would in any large city). Excellent price. Would come here again for sure
