"The lobby gets very busy at peak times. When we arrived to check in bags at about 9 AM it was extremely packed. When we returned to check in it wasn't too bad. Every morning we were in the lobby it was standing room only. And they might only have one luggage cart. And definitely only have one elevator. They served ice water all day and coffee in the mornings. There is an outdoor courtyard that looked nice, but we never got to see the rooftop accommodations. The interior facing rooms kind of face each other so there wasn't much privacy with the blinds open. The area has a homeless issue. We had no problems with anything but if you're not comfortable with homelessness, the area isn't for you. Maybe most of downtown Seattle would apply. The area is very walkable, we went to the ports and space needle and Pike Place and no issues walking, even at night. "
