Excellent stay!!
If…read moreyou want to be literally in the heart of the City, this location may not be for you, as its about a 1/2 hour walk to Pike Place or to the Space Needle, or a 15 minute drive. But considering how expensive Seattle is to park (as much as $40 a day), you can walk or take the bus ($2.25) or a taxi ($7) to get to the touristy spots like Pike Place or the Space Needle.
We stayed on the third floor in the Garnet Room, which I highly recommend unless you can't walk a lot of stairs. The room has a lot of natural sunlight, plenty of storage area for our belongings, and plenty of room to spread out. The plus is there's no one above us, so it was definitely quiet! My only minus is the tv in the room is tiny (my computer monitor at home is bigger) and its antenna tv, not cable, so its hit or miss if the station comes in. The Inn does have DVD's in the library, but I had no idea where to get the DVD player.
The Inn provided a portable air conditioning unit and fans in the Garnet room, but quite honestly, it never got hot enough to use. The room did get a little stuffy but we opened the sky light panels, and the crack of air plus the fan gave the room ample circulation.
The Garnet room had a nice deep, whirlbath (jacuzzi style) tub which was wonderful to soak after a long day of being a tourist. There's very little street traffic at night, and even with the windows opened, it was quiet.
Every morning, breakfast was served between 7:30-9:30. Even though the table was set for 10 people, we never seemed to have any problem sharing breakfast with the entire house.
The breakfasts weren't extremly "gourmet" compared to many B+B's I've stayed at, but the food was hearty, and sufficient to get us through the day, such as french toast, huevos ranchero (with scramble egg instead of fried), blueberry pancakes with sausage, and a herb scramble with rosemary toast. Plenty of coffee or tea, and a side board with yogurt and granola toppings.
Other perks included free use of the computer and printer, plenty of little snacks throughout the house, like nuts, candies, biscottis, and a fridge to store food or drinks, if needed. There was coffee and tea available all day, and fresh fruit. Again, nothing really extravagant, but sufficient to make our stay pleasant.
There's parking in the back for 4 or 5 cars, and an overflow next door in the green house lot, plus street parking if needed.
If I had to give it a negative feedback, it may be the lack of interaction the staff has with the guests. But, some people tend to like not having to see the staff, but they did provide a number for us to call if we needed anything, anytime.
The staff also accommodated our early flight, and had breakfast for us at 7:30 prompt, so we could be out the door at 7:45.
For the price we paid ($159/ night) and a quiet location, its a very good deal and I'd gladly recommend this place.
