DK Eyewitness

Request a higher floor here, because despite double glazing, some guests are disturbed by the passing trains, and docking ferries and cruise ships.

Gayot
"This luxury boutique hotel isn't just near many of Seattle's major attractions --- it's also one of them."
BlackBook
"Not the hippest stay in town, but rooms that showcase exposed brick and a hotel rocking the early works of Dale Chihuly on the walls? Not the stuffiest, either."
Zagat
