8/10 Good
"Centrally located, walk to farmers market/ pikes place about 25 min walk. Rooms like a downtown hotel, small but very clean. Was happy with price and quarters, felt I got my monies worth. We took a uber from the hotel to the space needle, about 25 minutes. We took the monorail next to the space needle to the farmers market, about 15 minutes and finally we took a nearby train to the airport, about 40 minutes. Train cost $3 per person. Fun day"
