We stayed at this hotel for one night on 9/6/05. Got the hotel through Priceline for $70. The location was great.. right in downtown, near the Library. Walking distance to Pike Place. We were able to get the non-smoking king as requested. Front desk staff was quite pleasant. However, the hotel itself is quite old and a bit run-down (including elevators, rooms, pool, etc.). Our room was clean..however a bit small. Overall, not a bad choice for $70/night. But I wouldn't pay full price for this hotel.
