WA Seattle Homewood Suites Space Needle

[temescal]

Very nice property, well worth the 3 stars. The building is about 6 stories high. I got a large suite with a separate bedroom & king bed (and a bedroom door that could close on the refrigerator noise - the frequent downside of a suite room), a central kitchenette (with dishwasher & stove with 2 burners) and bathroom area, and separate living room with its own TV (other TV in bedroom). Free internet and good breakfast buffet included (on weekends also), with eggs, sausage, biscuit & gravy, various fruits, etc. Parking is an extra $15 in the basement; there are some cheaper lots up the street.

The hotel is located a block off the waterfront, so to speak, although to actually walk to the waterfront edge you have to cross over the train tracks either at the new Sculpture Garden about 3 blocks to the south, or over the Amgen helix bridge to the waterfront park several blocks to the north - a nice walk either way. It's also an easy walk up the hill to the Queen Anne neighborhood shopping area with movie theatre, Safeway, restaurants, Key Arena, etc., and Science Center and Space Needle a bit farther. But you are a good 15-20 minute walk north of Pike's Place Market. The hotel location itself is fairly quiet.

They even appeared to have credited my Hilton points & miles account, which isn't typical with priceline purchases (we'll see if that actually shows up).
