There are lots of things to like about this place. Rooms have the sleek, contemporary look characteristic of Hyatt Place. The location, an easy walk to the Space Needle and many good restaurants, is extremely convenient. Staff members were pleasant and eager to please. Parking is covered and secure. The room was clean and neat. I like the Heating/AC system. It's a little more complicated than most, but it provides excellent, personalized control of room temperature.

Then why three stars? Noise. We had a top floor room, facing east, away from the Space Needle. In our living area we could hear conversations in adjoining rooms. In the bed area we could hear traffic and train noise throughout the night. During the day, the traffic is slow moving and not much of a problem. However, at night heavy-footed drivers with loud mufflers really let loose. I ended up sleeping on the pull out sofa bed in the living area.

The only other negative concerns the sanitation around some of the breakfast food. Bakery and cooked times were placed on counter tops uncovered. Overall the display was varied and visually attractive but uninviting to the germ conscious guest.

Parking and tax added $41 to the $93 room cost. Ouch!

We stayed here for a weekend with friends, we were very impressed. It was great value with friendly service. The free shuttle service around down town was really helpful on our rainy weekend. A huge room & tasty breakfast. Highly recommend!

I had to find a place to stay in Seattle for three nights and I was weary because of the low cost per night. My room was on the top floor looking out at the Space Needle and it was amazing. The bed was comfortable, the TV was huge and had a cool media panel where I could connect my laptop to watch movies. The only downside was not having a bath tub, but there were other rooms with tubs available for slightly more. Night life was within walking distance as well. The staff was very nice and helpful, providing maps to walk to places that were nearby. The fitness room had enough to keep me busy, and there was a smaller pool that I didn't get a chance to use. This hotel would suit just about anyone. The breakfast was healthy and amazing with a great selection. This was hands-down the best hotel I've stayed in at this price point. Don't hesitate to stay here again and again if you're in Seattle.

The best breakfast and the shuttle were pluses! Got it through Hotwire. Had a problem at check in that the young man refused to help with, since we were Hotwire customers! It must have been the same guy who some other person wrote about because he made me feel like booking through Hotwire was a bad thing! After a call to Hotwire, Denise solved our problem. Very nice lady. The room, beds, shower were great. Asked for a late checkout since our flight was leaving at midnight but they were only willing to give me till 1pm. Great location! No hotel security that I saw and we had a problem the second night we were there. The police were called. It did not involve any in our party, they were just bystanders but it was very scary. The police, however, assured us that this was a very safe place. All in all, I would stay there again.
