The property overall was great. The room itself is good for a quiet couple or family. One thing that bothered me was the bathroom we had assigned to us didnt have a working sink.... Which made it inconvenient to get ready and brush teeth. You pay over a hundred dollars to sleep for one night and can't even use the bathroom sink...

This is not a hotel, it’s a converted house with rooms. Bed was fine, room was fine, shower was hot, toilet/sink were fine. However, this was not what I expected. The room was an Airbnb-style experience with a hostel twist. Lock boxes to enter front door/rooms. Must walk into the common area to access your bathroom for most rooms. You also have to be comfortable sending a picture of your photo ID to a google voice number or email (I understand it is Washington law to present an ID before staying the night but sending it to a random number/email is very uncomfortable). I book with Expedia knowing that I’m not going to have to deal with nonsense and this check-in was borderline too much hassle.

I dont think this place actually exists. Dont return emails or phone calls, no actual street address exists as far as I can tell, and mapquest will direct you to a park directly adjacent to the African American Museum if you try to drive to this "guesthouse". Its a scam. Stay away! *Expedia intervened and quickly found us an alternative reservation, so we didnt end up without a place to sleep that night. Kudos to Expedias customer Care professionals!

This guesthouse is a bunch of rooms, a common kitchen, with locks on their doors, but it seems one key opens all doors (at least our neighbor's key opened our door and our private bathroom). We arrived at 5:30pm, tried to follow instructions, we were the wrong code for the lockbox, couldn't get a key. tried to connect with management thru phone, text message, and whatsapp, no answer for over an hour. we booked another place, and hope to get a refund and some form of compensation.

Easy and convenient to walk in and out with the directions the property manager sent ahead of time! I was staying in one clean, quiet room but it seemed like the majority of the other rooms were rented out by one party, who were maybe surprised to see me there and expecting to have the place to themselves. They went to bed at a reasonable hour, but it was certainly noisy for a while in the evening. For the most part, a smooth and convenient stay near the excellent food of the international district, plus easy safe parking and a comfortable bed.

I wonder if our original property address got changed along the way. I didn't realize there were 2 different addresses mentioned in communications so we went to wrong address first then looked at later communication that had different address . Finally figured it out when picture and codes for locks did not match at first address. Took a while to reach manager to get into property at later address as room lock code had also been miscommunicated. So "bed" room is exactly that- just a bed. Kitchen facilities are shared . Each room has a private keyed bathroom nearby a door away. Plain and simple but very close to stadium, Pike Place etc. Basically a bed and one straight chair to sit on . Bare bones but acceptable if not actually comfortable.

The good news is that for the money, this place is probably as good as it gets. The bad news is that the shared "kitchen" is not well-enough equipped to use for anything but warming things up, and there is absolutely not enough in the way of pots, pans, dishes, glassware or anything else. For example, there were three rooms sharing the "kitchen," and only three plates, cups, and bowls provided. No salt/pepper/paper towels or anything else people would need for any real use. There was also no way to control the temperature in the room--the thermostat for the whole floor was on 70, which got stuffy at night. That said, it is not likely you will find better for the price in Seattle!

This was the worst accomodations we've ever stayed at. The "furniture" was cheap and the bed/pillows were awful. Felt like sleeping on plywood covered in plastic. Clearly meant to make a buck. Put as little as possible into it. Nothing was comfortable or nice.
