Restrooms smelt terrible, no vent in there which caused it to smell like mold & same for the closet a very mildew smell to it. There was no fridge in the room which was very inconvenient as well as no microwave. Having to pay for valet parking at a ridiculous price because they can’t afford to give their guest free parking. Unfortunately the stay was so terrible that we plan to never go to Seattle again or stay at any of the Hilton hotels from now on.

The staff were amazing and housekeeping kept everything very clean.

I was surprised this what I got from a Hilton! Hotel is dated in charming way but with that came small rooms (w/ popcorn ceiling, stuffy smell, no long mirrors) limited amenities, and maintenance issues. Our TV and phone didn’t work, and although we were moved to another room, the TV stopped working again. Valet parking is also about $56/day.

Overall, it’s a clean, budget-friendly option with great service. If you’re expecting a more modern Hilton experience, don’t bother.

The day staff was helpful but the night staff was incompetent and indifferent. The area surrounding the hotel is run down and unsafe. We did not make it two blocks without being harassed. There is a vacant lot across the street with a broken down car in it. It is horribly overpriced for the room and location. We had an empty space where the fridge was meant to be and we wait three hours for them to bring one in.

The staff was really nice and the hotel is pretty! But there is an LED light in the room that doesn't turn off at night. When the switch is off, it still glows, almost to reading level and it kept us up all night. The bathtub didn't drain. Location is easy though and room was fine otherwise. The bulb in the light was likely cheap and still draws voltage. Definitely not worth going there again due to these two issues.

The rooms were super clean and and our corner room had excellent view of the space needle. Location is excellent, right in the heart of U-district.
When our TV stopped working on day 2 of our week long stay, they were kind enough to move us to an equivalent room after trying to repair the TV for 2 days. However the desk provided in all rooms is pretty useless for working through the week as the chair that goes with it brought my neck in alignment with the table top instead of my elbows. Completely impractical and they definitely need to upgrade the chairs in all the rooms. On the plus, they do provide a long table as workspace in the lobby so that definitely worked out as it was a working week-long stay. Also on the day of checkout which was at 11am, three members of housekeeping stopped by at different times to ask if we wanted cleaning!! :)
The cafe in the hotel is good. They had good tea/lemonade and good snacks/breakfast items. I would stay here again if I had a chance as the ambience is very charming although they could do with a few improvements.

I am a Marriott person so staying at this boutique was not idea at all. No amenities, coffee shop closed at 5 and no other places to go to get drinks or snacks.

Hotel was old and considered leaving the first night but the rest of the attendees stayed at the hotel and complained about tvs not working, AC not working and still going back and forth with my $15 per day credit.

No air conditioning! The thermostat did not work. The room got very hot and muggy on a 60 degree day.

There was a musty smell and no air circulation in the room.

The hotel location is in a bad part of town. I would not even venture down the sidewalk in that area during the day.

The rooftop restaurant view was great, but you have to be a patron of the restaurant to go there.

The staff was very nice.

I checked out the next morning and went elsewhere.

The hotel is very cool and exciting to walk through! So much history! The staff is very kind and helpful. The bedroom was clean, the bathroom was small and had a few hairs when we arrived but was maintained well. The walls are very thin so we could hear our neighbors sometimes but that comes with vintage building. Loved the key cards!!! The coffee shop was great and the bar was amazing too! The valet was kind and helpful as well!! We would definitely come again!

Very friendly staff, nice atmosphere I’d definitely stay again. Only downside, only parking onsite available is $55 valet parking. And, I wanted to iron my tank top and as soon as I put the iron on my tank top, it stuck and pulled the fabric off, so I threw the top away. Luckily, I had another but I’ve never had that happen before. Great view from the restaurant also.

A very nice sort of boutique hotel which i likely about 100 years old, but retrofitted to fit the \"Graduate\" theme very well. My parents spent their wedding night in this hotel in 1947, and while it has been upgraded still has the charm of the original building with nice new amenities and a great rooftop bar venue.

Lobby and rooms were fantastic. Love that they have valet parking! Super convenient to the university grounds. Empty lots on both sides made it feel like it's a rough neighborhood, but it's not. Some staff were great - others not so much. Loved that there was a room credit for breakfast at the cafe, but line was super long and limited options.

Where to start… the door to our room didn’t lock electronically. We told the front desk about this, but they said they would send somebody up in the morning. Then when we went to go to bed, we shut off the hall light and it actually did not shut off so the light was on light as well. The maintenance man came up the next day and he was very, very nice and fixed electronic lock and also removed the lightbulb from the hall so we wouldn’t have to switch rooms at that point. Meanwhile, it was super hot in our room all three days and nights, because apparently this hotel does not turn on the air until a certain time of the year. The elevators were complete shambles and wouldn’t bring us to our room and I got motion sickness, three times from writing in the elevator for many minutes at a time just trying to get to my floor or my friends floor. It was very frustrating. The rules around the rooftop are weird and annoying. At one point my spouse got in the elevator and it stopped on a floor and a cleaner got on and he said the elevator is going down when she pressed an higher level and she goes… oh. And then uses her key card to make it go up. Like, what the? Also conditioner item in shower was totally empty, there was hair on the shower wall that wasn’t ours and some sort of curios stain on the shower curtain. The hotel is beautiful and great location though. The attention to details and great service is missing.

Rooms were immaculate. There are no refrigerators in the room which seemed odd. The coffee service in the room was a bit lame but there is a great coffee shop attached to the lobby and it opens at 6:30 and you can charge it to your room. The location is perfect especially if you are going to the Neptune theatre for a show. It’s steps away from the Neptune. View of Seattle and the mountains is fabulous. The rooms are appointed like no other hotel room that I’ve been in. Interesting, eclectic yet not cluttered with useless adornments. Art deco. Very comfortable furniture. The beds were very comfortable and the pillows didn’t break your neck. I would definitely stay there again.

Super cool building, not your standard boring hotel (which I love) and we loved the proximity to the Neptune theater. There was only one elevator working for staff and for guests. So when housekeeping needed to get to the different floors, it created quite the headache for guests who were trying to check out, or getting to/from their room during that time. We waited almost 40 minutes trying to get the elevator to our room. It wasn't made clear when we checked in that we would need a reservation for the restaurant on the rooftop, so heads up- you can't just go up there without a staff member sending you up. I think a lot of our troubles were caused by a singular elevator experience, if the property manager fixed that I would have rated it higher. Overall it was a pretty good experience
