Inn at Harbor Steps

Ultra convenient location plus has underground parking (extra ) Free wifi but signal weak

The location cannot be beat - simply the best location when staying in Seattle. Everything else was just an okay but not worth the $150 give or take that we spent. No room wi-fi, toilet doesnt work (as evidence by the plunger next to it) no hot water this weekend due to City working on the plumbing (?) staff could care less when we told them we couldnt take a shower . I was underwhelmed. For $20.00 more I could stay at a top notch hotel with staff that cares, plumbing that works, and also be in the heart of downtown seattle. This simply wasn't worth the money. And yes, when I want a romantic getaway weekend with my husband I want hot showers and the staff to actually care if there is no hot water.

Very convenient location, opposite the Seattle Art Museum and just a short walk (albeit uphill) to the Pike Place Market. Good facilities - hot tub, workout room, free hot or cold breakfast. Room was very large with fireplace, french windows, and refrigerator and wet-bar type sink. However...the wi-fi connectivity was atrocious - kept kicking us offline and the logging in process was a pain (maybe it was my Mac and it's better with a PC!). Carpet was a little shabby and the cleaners were less than scrupulous - minimal vacuuming and no dusting of the venetian blinds on the windows. All in all I'd say no worse than your average Hilton/Hampton/Sheraton type hotel but nothing to write home about. Staff were friendly and helpful. They had no in-room safe which I would have expected in this hotel - but we put all our important stuff (ipad/MacAir/passports) in a bag and they locked it in the hotel safe, which was fine but a bit of a nuisance if you are coming in and out and need to use those things when you return. As with many hotels there never seem to be enough electrical outlets in the right locations. I think the internet connectivity would have been fine if I had used a LAN (which they will loan you) but if, like me, you have a computer that has no LAN portal then you are stuck with the lousy wireless connection.

Harbor Steps was a wonderful place to stay, the room with the balconey was great and the view from the room awesome!, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the contennial breakfast, and everything was in walking distance. This vacation was the best ever! The only thing we noticed was a faint stale smell of cigarette smoke, other than that the stay was very pleasant and we would stay there again.

While attending a national convention, I found this to be a perfect location for all the "down-time" activities I sought out. After a hearty breakfast buffet (included), I found many attractions within a quick walk of the front door. Portable water and snacks were available and the staff provided good suggestions for dining. The room was comfortable and well-appointed but lacked any kind of real view.
