Extremely handy to Virginia Mason medical complex. It is across from Inn at Virginia Mason, where The Rho cafe serves Mon-Fri 7am-9m - with friendly service, good food, super handy. All hotel staff from front desk to room cleaners were very friendly, helpful, efficient. Recommend this as a good place to stay for medical travel as well as just visiting Seattle.

They show a full mini kitchen in the listing, which is not accurate. There is a stove in the room but it is closed off and unusable.

Also the check-in procedures are unusual, there was no prior clarification about checking in at the property across the street which felt confusing and uncertain.

TV barely had a dozen channels either. As it is right by the hospital, you do hear a lot of ambulance noise too - that one is sort of expected, but forewarning for anyone who sleeps lightly.

It was very nice for a 2 star hotel, the room was clean the check in and check out were easy, the only bad thing was the lobby was being touched up so it smelled of paint and it was messy, but other than that it was a good experience.

The staff was exceptional in providing me a beautiful suite with a gorgeous view of the Seattle skyline. I was there for my daughter’s kidney transplant surgery at Virginia Mason hospital so I very much appreciated the peacefulness the view provided. The room was clean, water was nice and hot for showers, the view was rejuvenating, and most of all the staff, including the Rho cafe, where friendly, professional, and extremely helpful in making our stay very pleasant.

Security chain on door was broken. Hair in the bathtub and back of toilet made it feel as if it was dirty. Bed was comfortble and the room clean otherwise just very dated.

Honestly I wasn’t sure if I would like this place. We went to super-cross at the Lumen field and this was the only cheaper hotel that was near by. I was worried it would smell old or maybe feel dirty, but my boyfriend and I both loved it here. It was older, but it didn’t smell old, and it was clean. The front desk was closed but it was a short walk directly across the street to check in. The elevator had a door to get into it, that was pretty cool. The room was large! We had a full sized fridge, a microwave, a stove, an oven, a living room, bedroom and a bathroom. The room also came with a fan. We opened up the window at night as it was a bit warm in our room, that cooled it down. I would 100% stay here again. It was around 1.5 miles or less to the lumen field. It wasn’t a bad walk. I’m glad we found this place, much cheaper than other nearby hotels!

I stayed there to be in close proximity to a friend who had surgery at Virginia Mason Hospital - was convenient (across the street from the hospital); felt safe in the area around the hospital (but never went more then 2 blocks away); the furniture was dated and a bit worn; the room was clean; shower was hot

The nightstands looked like they were picked up off the side of the road. Mismatched lamps, one of which didn't work. The mattress had more potholes than the Seattle city streets.

Seemingly scammy deposit, understaffed

The hotel itself is okay at best, good distance from things in Seattle. I assure you it isn't worth it for the lack of amenities and the price. The staff was nice, but definitely understaffed since I had to check out accross the street at a sister hotel? in the morning. Payed 219 for a single night, and forced to pay a 100 dollar deposit. Which I think is quite pricey compared to the airport options. Really my biggest gripe is that they charged me the deposit saying there was smoke damage. I don't smoke to begin with, but I'm not dumb enough to do it indoors. No communication I was going to be charged either. I'm not sure if this is some kind of scheme, but it's kind of baffling. I wasn't even in the room for a full 12 hours. I'll update this review after their 'investigation'. Really at the end of the day it's just not worth the headache, hotel deposits are already suspicious.

Very old/outdated rooms. Smelled like someone had smoked in the room or on the furniture for decades. Beds were thankfully clean. No AC but plenty of windows. Kitchen appliances looked like they were from the 60’s as did the bathroom and furniture.

Felt like a step back in time to the 1930's!
Even the elevator was a classic.
Very comfortable, clean, and attractive.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Easy and convenient parking.
Great food across the street and many good options less than a block away.
Also, a perfect spot for visiting the adjacent hospital.

Expectational value while visiting Virginia Mason

The room was well kept. The staff was very friendly. Check in was a bit difficult because the front desk at the Baroness was not staffed. You had to cross the street to check in at "The Inn", which is a sister property. This meant either carting your luggage with you to another building, or having someone wait with the luggage while someone else checked in across the street. It's a minor annoyance. Due to the property being in a downtown location, there is a lot of activity nearby, including in the middle of the night. My wife was awakened twice in the middle of the night - once by a mentally ill homeless person who was screaming at no one in particular and a second time by a couple having an argument. Building security is excellent so we felt completely safe in our room. Walking around during the day also felt completely safe. The room was very clean. The bathroom was small but functional. The building does not have A/C so the room was warm, which impacted our sleep. My wife and I both like to sleep cold, so the warmth of a 73 degree day might not impact other visitors. A hot summer day would likely be miserable. The mattress was also not the most comfortable. It wasn't bad, just not as nice as home. The room was advertised as having a Queen size bed. The bed in our room seemed smaller, so maybe it was a double instead of a queen. The rate we paid was very good, especially for downtown Seattle. The convenience to Virginia Mason hospital couldn't be better.

Very cool old hotel. Was clean and affordable. No AC so it was a bit warm but they did provide fans. Would stay there again. Only issue was lack of parking. They have a pay lot behind the hotel but it was full so had to find another parkade and walk up a huge hill with our luggage. And not a lot of food options nearby
