10/10 Excellent

"."

Mediterranean Inn

8/10 Good

"The property is within walking distance to the Space Needle/ City Center. There is a rooftop deck for extra views. VIP Expedia guests get a free single serving bottle of sparking wine. It's a bit difficult to unload your vehicle but there was secure underground parking. The bathroom was nice with a walk-in shower and magnifying mirror, but the room I had had a musty odor."

"This place was a cool little spot for my wife and I. It's walking distance to Fremont so lots of good food and drink options nearby. Plus a wonderful little bakery around the corner. It's also close to Gas Works Park and the walking paths along the waterfront are nice. The place itself is very simple. A studio apartment with 3/4 walls for the room. I wouldn't cram a ton of people into here or anything."
