so many people share the bathroom, you can hear people's talking in other rooms. Breakfast was supposed to be provided, never saw one. I was told my other guests "don't expect anything". If you want to eat, wait until 8:30 if you have time to wait. when I called and nobody answered the call. Only thing good is the location.

Great price, & locale. Reminded me of my travel-experiences in Europe (pensione’s; funky accommodations, BUT ‘you get what you pay for’. It’s ideal for single-traveller’s. The owner/proprietor was pleasant & helpful, but needs to pay attn: to details (the little things that make one’s ‘stay’ enjoyable’); in my brief stay, she failed to appear on Sunday, so no breakfast was provided, tho’ it’s advertised as part of the cost. And, none of us ‘checked out’ in the usual sense; we just left our Room Keys on a table!)

The rooms and kitchen were dirty. They didn't change the sheets for a multi-day stay. The sink leaked water all over. One room did not have a bathroom, you had to share it with other quests and it was dirty. I would avoid this place at all costs. Stay somewhere else...

Honest review of the hotel condition

The hotel condition was very poor, dirty and old. My girlfriend and I did not dare to sleep on the bed because the bedsheet has hair and the blanket was dirty. We had to go buy our own bedsheet to place it on top of their bed. My girlfriend even got a skin irritation from staying at the hotel. There was no air circulation in the room, the room was stuffy. The bathrooms were the worst. The toilet bowl has stains and the rugs were so dirty. There were so many mirrors in the bathroom (creepy) and also in the room. I did not like the urine scent that I smell when I walk passed the 2nd floor. The laundry pile were left sitting by the hallway on the second floor for two days. This was by far the worst experience I ever had renting a hotel. I'm not usually a complainer at where I stayed but this was just too much to tolerate. It was not worth the price I paid for ($242 per night) and the condition was worse than a motel. We couldn't change to other hotels because everywhere was booked, so we had to sleep with our daytime clothes on. So for people who cares about cleaniness, this is definitely not the place to stay.

Location was key. Historical building was of interest until we arrived. It was downhill from there. No one was available to assist with luggage and no one was at the desk to greet us. Note: there is no elevator and the desk was two flights up. We had no towels. The sink in the bathroom was broken so we had to go up a flight to wash our hands. Windows were open in the parlor but had no screens. Thus, bugs were flying in the window in the area we had breakfast. Our mattress had such a strong odor of urine, so we could not sleep between the sheets.

Charming older hotel with amazing location

Amazing location. Eclectic older hotel so it has some musty smells. Extremely cute uniquely decorated hotel with Seattle charm. Was quiet and had great views in the sitting lounge. Our free parking did not seem to work with the validation but did not have time to bother with it. Overall a nice stay if you are looking to be right next to Pikes market.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever

This place was disgusting. First, after following the instructions to get in the door was barred with a broom. When we finally got in, the girl who seemed to be running things had absolutely no idea what she was doing. There was dog poop all over the place. Old food left out on a table covered with flies. We told the woman that we could not stay there. She did not apologize but did say we would not be charged. We were charged, and the hotel has been impossible to get a hold of to request a refund. DO NOT STAY HERE.

Really great location next to Pike Place Market. Parking garage is ridiculously expensive and should be added into the price of the hotel, because that's an extra $30 per night we weren't aware of. Hotel smelled weird and one of the sinks in the bathroom wasn't working, but the room was clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are detached from rooms and are technically public, FYI. We checked in late and they forgot to leave us towels, but Lindsey left them outside the door before we woke up.

I was in love with the room I had, the incredible views, and the lovely amenities. The only negative was that the cleanliness of the shared spaces (bathroom sinks, sitting/dining area) were just not up to snuff. I'm not a clean freak, so I just worked around that, and would stay there again because of the ideal location, gorgeous rooms with big windows and high ceilings (I had a city view room with a big old tree outside), and yummy breakfast.

Disappointed

This was not what we expected:( we ended up leaving a day early. The room wasn’t ready by check in, things we left from previous customers, we had to ask for toilet paper, and overall it was dirty:( also we thought since it was a bed and breakfast that there would be breakfast. Nope. We were very disappointed especially since it seemed to have positive reviews. We would not stay here again.

Perfect location/ shared bathrooms

The staff make this place worth while, along with the proximity to the market, and the breath-taking views. The only complaint I have would be the cleanliness of the Lobby carpets due to the pets and the bathrooms due to shared bathrooms. Overall, you can't beat the price and location pr the warm welcome in downtown Seattle.
