"This quirky 11-story hotel in the heart of Downtown is so animal-friendly that if you don't come with a pet, you can "adopt" a goldfish for the length of your visit."
Fodor's Fodor's
"Thanks to a massive $5.2-million renovation completed in 2012, the once slightly dated 189-room hotel has sprung back to life with a modern-meets-global look." Full review

"Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness." Full review

"What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a CD stereo."
Rough Guide Rough Guide

Some of the standard rooms are on the small side, so it's best to request one of the larger deluxe rooms.

"This hotel is anything but drab. Yellow, red and blue jewel-toned accents dominate in the guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby."

"Ceiling prints of fish and coral in the lobby, bright strawberry and cream striped wallpaper in the rooms, leopard print robes for taking intentionally bad Facebook photos."

There is also a small but well-equipped fitness center, and the hotel offers flexible meeting space, but it’s the thoughtful extras that elevate the stay, including free wine hours, free morning coffee, loaner bikes, and even a goldfish on request.

For more space and the best views, opt for one of the "premier rooms," which have large windows and extra-comfy beds.

"This 102-room, former motor hotel in the University District is one of the many relics leftover from the era when the World's Fair came to town."
