"“Mixed bag”: a “functional” place to stay! If you have business (warehouses and distribution centers all around) or needing a one night stay in this area, this HIE is all you need.  for longer than a day/night, the overall stay not as good.  It’s not really close to anything in Seattle or Tacoma.  The freeway that provides access to I-5 + I-5 itself can be a nightmare for slow traffic.  One hour plus for us to get Pike Place, leaving at 7 am Monday.  Tacoma is easier; typically 30 min. Hotel is clean, 95% friendly staff; the hotel gets dinged for noises outside (sounded like someone was faintly tapping our door all night) the occasional train coming by, and one morning of poor water pressure.  Turn down service is middle of the road, not picking up everything then forgot us one day.  Manager on duty quick to bring us comforter for cold night there. The Latina who typically runs the breakfast on the main level is fantastic!  Sweet, always smiles; she keeps that area consistently super clean snd the food fresh! Kudos for the high tech Bunn coffee maker that grinds fresh beans for each cup."

"This stay was great! The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the business district, very convenient for travel, and there are many dining options nearby. The front desk check-in was quick and efficient, and the service staff was warm and thoughtful, making people feel comfortable from the moment they entered the door. The room facilities are high-end and complete, the bedding is comfortable, the height of the desk and chair is just right, and the wireless network is stable. Except for no breakfast, everything else is good. The front desk staff also enthusiastically helped with late check-out."
