I just popped in for a brunch after touring downtown on St Paddy's day 2012. Decided on an omelette. View, atmosphere, food AND other patrons made for a pleasant repast. Reminded me of an early dinner I had on a previous visit where I was one of a few patrons - I had a delicious steak & a nice glass... More

We stayed here based on TripAdvisor ratings and reviews and weren't disappointed. The hotel is a visual delight, with glass creations on each floor as well as the lobby. We were greeted with an upgrade to a corner room that had an amazing view of Mt. Rainier. The room was very comfortable. You could even select your choice of pillow... More

This hotel is strange: the vibe, the decor, the staff. The good news is that the elevator is fast and the fitness room is clean. The room itself is stocked with expensive junk food and the fridge is full of booze. I was afraid to touch anything. The surfaces are all glass and steel. I half-expected the sheets to be... More

I was only here for one night on business, but the check-in process was perfunctory and a little be brusque. I also had a drink in the lobby bar and while friendly, the bartender didn't know how to make some basic drinks and I was disappointed that they had such limited light food offerings in the bar. The restaurant is... More
