Good for business

Friendly staff. Room was clean. Gym was empty(good for me) Easy on/off to highway. A little noisy facing expressway 99. Ask to change room to inside room facing alley. No problem. If your nice they'll be nice. Simple.

Good location and quite clean!

They need to update their beds-too hard for all of us who stayed there. Also, the rooms were stuffy at night for sleeping and the traffic is too loud to open the windows for air . They do not have individual air/heat control in the room. Great Breakfast buffet and wonderful indoor swimming pool.

Good place to stay downtown with kids

The two room suite was perfect for our stay downtown with the whole family. Two queens and a full size hide-a-bed made sleep accommodations comfortable, and having two TVs meant that we could watch our programs and they could watch theirs. It was nice to have a sofa, chairs and a coffee table for when we were just hanging around the room. The indoor parking was a major plus for us. We just left the car safely stored there for the length of our stay and walked to from the Seattle Center nearby. When we went to the wharf we just caught the monorail from the Seattle Center and headed further into town,

RECOMMENDED!

Great location. It is just a 5-minute walk from City-Center where The Space Needle and The Experience Music Project Museum is. They have a great breakfast... it is a lot better than your average continental breakfast... they offer a lot more than muffins, coffee and juice. It'll fill you up before taking off every morning. Staff was very helpful and diligent. Our room was clean, fresh (didn't have any weird smells) and best of all it had a wonderful view of the Space Needle and the EMP museum. I would book this hotel again!

quick seattle vacay

The view was amazing, the room was great, the staff was pretty helpful.. The only frustration I had was that it wasn't as accessible to the city center as I anticipated. Because there's no way to walk across Aurora Ave, one has to walk around or call a cab.

small size of simming pool...

Almost everything was perfect,but I expected too much about the swimming pool. It was so small, so I coudln't swim there. I wanted to take a relaxation of mussels to swim as an exercize. However, the location was so good and near Zeek's pizza was also so good. It is located near by space needle. We love that part the most.

Way, way too noisy!

Stay away!!!! The number one purpose of a hotel room is for sleeping. The traffic noise in this hotel is unacceptable.

Clean, Safe, Convenient

The room was clean and spacious and had a beautiful view of the Space Needle. Breakfast was fantastic (although adding a Belgian Waffle station would make it perfect). The staff was helpful and friendly. Location was within easy walking distance of everything! Would absolutely go back!

If you are going to the mall or downtown DON'T walk to the Space Needle to take the monorail to the mall. It is only an extra block to just walk from the hotel to the mall!

Decent hotel, not the best location

The room was clean, comfortable and affordable. Breakfast and coffee were very good, too. But be warned that it's not in a very picturesque part of the city. It's drab and industrial and there are highways on either side. It's about a 15 minute walk to the downtown, so it's not too far, but if you are looking to stay in a charming area where you can go to dinner and stroll home afterward, this isn't it.

Don't miss Seattle's public library. It's an architectural gem and filled with bookish locals.

Close to the Space Needle & game day shuttle

We always stay at the Holiday Inn Express when we drive up from Portland. The staff is friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, plus they have free breakfast included. We are huge Seahawk fans and on game days a shuttle service is available for a small fee to drop off and pick up right outside of Century Link Stadium. This is so nice as parking is outrageous! This hotel is also walking distance to some nice restaurants and also the Space Needle.
