We were here for three nights. Check-in was easy. Had requested early check-in due to my husband's health and they kindly allowed us in two hours prior. Had requested quiet room as well. Room 1201 is QUIET. No view but we needed quiet. Hotel in good location. We walked everywhere. Space Needle is 40 minute walk. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast we ate down the street at Planet Java Diner (5 minute walk); dinners at The Purple Cafe and Nordstroms Cafe. Easy walk to Pike Street and Westlake Shopping area. Very nice visit!

The Courtyard Seattle Pioneer Square is in an older building but nicely renovated inside. It is a bit difficult to get to with all the one way streets and the valet parking is pretty steep at $49 a night. The room itself was nice and comfortable and while it was faced the street, it was quiet. The hotel is in a great location, very central and close to the market and Chinatown.

Accessable to the city, walking distance to the Market, the Space Needle, monorail, etc. Folks were more than nice and helpful. Bistro is better than most with good choices for breakfast and dinner.

Watch out in front for bikers in the street. If you are not used to bikers thinking they own the road and would just as soon mow you down as be polite. They have the right of way but they have no sympathy for out of towners who might be unaware.
