"I liked to stay this hotel and circumstances are so good. But this hotel has taken valet parking only and charged $66 per day. I couldn't choose non-valet parking while staying because of a rent car."

I went the night of the Riot. That sucked, it was right outside & pepper spray was in the air in the lobby. Not the hotels fault.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

A lot of hills & fairly expensive. Because of the businesses & attractions closed due to the Covid-19 shutdown orders, there wasn’t much to see or visit & Seattle is dealing with homelessnes. However, the weather was great and SLU is a beautiful area
