This is a great hotel close to all the downtown Seattle attractions and has a public parking lot adjacent for $1/hour which isn't bad. The hotel was very clean, the shower was amazing, and the housekeeping and front staff were terrific. I'll stay there again! No AC, but, it's nice to have windows open in the summer and a cool breeze wafting in.

One issue came up with WiFi access. Evidently... the front of the hotel doesn't get a strong signal like the back of the hotel. The front desk immediately changed my room so I could have access. Above and beyond.

Cons: This is an empty hotel (no front desk, have to check in across the street at a different hotel), and there are no visible staff inside. Lobby was under construction, had to move rugs to access the elevator, stains on the old carpet, room full of old appliances that don’t work, no air conditioning, likely not updated in 50 years. The door to the parking lot doesn’t open with the key card (it should have), so you need to walk around the building to access the front.

Pros: Staff were helpful and friendly. Location was decent, but expect to walk up steep hills if coming from the bay side.

Very basic, very affordable accommodations in a very expensive city. Just as an example, a very basic breakfast for 2 at a nearby hotel was 1/3 of the price we paid to spend the night here.
It was just what we needed: clean room, comfortable bed, quiet hotel, low price. Located very close to all the action at the waterfront and Pike Street Mkt.. The only issue I had, there was no staff present in the hotel. If their services were needed you had to visit their property across the street.
We were very happy with what we paid, this is the second time I stayed here. This will be my go to hotel if I visit again

Located at the top of the hill so walking downtown and back is out of the question. Parking lot is first come first serve and about 1$/hr. Room was spacious, bed and pillows not that good. Hot water good. Would not stay again though.

Stayed here for several nights while a family member had surgery at Harborview. The hotel is comfortable and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel and rooms are old, and it's a little noisy in the neighborhood. But it was great for what I needed and a reasonable price for Seattle.

OK, so for those of you who aren’t familiar with the bottom of hospital Hill, there are three old hotels (the Sorrento, the Inn at Virginia Mason and the Baroness)- all within half a city block of each other/across the street from each other. The rooms that seem the most outdated are at the Inn and the Baroness. The later of which used to be an apartment complex. If you’re into modern amenities and modern updated furniture none of these hotels are gonna do it for you. I hate to say it, but Wi-Fi it off three places is to be desired as well. If you want nostalgia only moderately overpriced, you’re gonna go to the Sorrento (it’s definitely more upscale ). If you’re on a budget, you’re gonna end up at the baroness or the Inn (but you’re gonna wanna make a trip to Sorrento/Stella for a bite) All that being said, the staff at the front desk and the café and restaurants at the Inn/Baroness (same management) have improved so much over the last three years that they are worth mentioning. I particularly found Dominic the lead front desk agent at the Inn/Baroness to be extremely helpful and was willing to deal with me me asking him to print out documents from my laptop and make copies for me and seemingly one million other things over the course of my stay. The Rho cafe is quaint with solid food and drinks, and a great coffee bar. The best part about being in any of these places is the price versus location. Quiet and safe and easy to get to all the Seattle destinations.

This is quite an old hotel which was formerly an apartment building. We had a bedroom with two single beds, a large living room and modest bedroom The rooms had not been updated but the hotel did what they could with lovely duvets and fluffy towels.

The biggest disappointment were the amenities. There were none. No front desk staff - you had to go across the street to another hotel to check in and check out. No breakfast room - again across the street.
There was only one elevator which was very shaky. Cleaning staff was nice.

Built in 1931 the building is very old, has no A/C which was not an issue in late May Seattle. There was no in-house staff, help was available across the street in a partner hotel. There is a paid parking lot behind the hotel with about 20 spots, I was lucky to find one available when I needed it. I though this hotel would be convenient for my stay and allow me to walk to the Paramount Theater, unfortunately the walk had very steep inclines to and from.

Stayed for medical procedures nearby. Old building but very clean, comfy bed, and large room with microwave and frig. Small bathroom and no AC. At the top of a big hill so be aware if walking from Symphony Station. Otherwise very convenient to surgical centers and well priced for downtown.

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.

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.

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!
