We struggled to park the car because the hotel doesn’t have enough parking slots so they asked us to park outside in the street !!!!! That was horrible when you arrived at 11 pm after 3 hours driving then you have to find a park for your car even you paid $350 to stay in hotel for one night !!!

Sadly, we arrived very late to this hotel after a delayed flight and had to leave early the next morning so we didn't get to experience much. The front desk staff-Abbie and Merrick were amazing and super friendly. There was an issue with my card being charged twice but they handled it perfectly. I love that there are things in the room you can workout with and that they seem to be cleaned regularly. Pros--clean room focused on health, soft beds, I love when hotels focus on the little details too like a shave ledge in the shower, convenient location, food and entertainment options nearby, fitness center looked great and there is onsite parking for $45. Cons--Parking was very hard to get into, not the gate, but the spaces are super tight if you don't have a tiny car. Getting back into the building from the parking garage is a little confusing because the hotel is two hotels next to each other and I kept entering the other hotel and couldn't get back around--probably my own issue but I'm sure it could happen to anyone especially tired. If you check out and turn in your key, it is difficult to get back into parking, but you can buzz the intercom and they will let you in.

I loved the hotel and the location. There was just one downside to it: the parking garage. The spaces were incredibly tight and small. It was very hard to park our car. They also do not have chargers for electric cars. It was $45 to park for one night (plus a six dollar parking tax) and that seems way too high for a garage is so hard to navigate and park in, along with not having charging options. If we had known, we could’ve parked in another garage nearby for cheaper and they had chargers and much more spacious parking spots. Lesson learned.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which made for a very comfortable experience. The location was perfect for us. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The only downside was that at times, only one elevator was working. Still, it didn’t take away too much from the overall positive experience. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a reliable and pleasant place to stay.

Parking isn’t very good…your hotel shares parking with another hotel so don’t come in late… Otherwise things are awesome there!

Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Corner suite was nice and we didn’t get too much road noise on the 6th floor. Don’t pay for the parking though. This area has a ton of parking garages for MUCH cheaper. We ended up paying $12 at a garage instead of $45 on site at the hotel.

Bathroom had mounted shampoo, conditioner and body soap. All but conditioner was empty—which we learned in the shower (right before check out). Park conditions are difficult. No clear direction if you park on the first level on how to get back to your car (but great at telling you when you check in it is first come dust served).

It did not look like rooms were cleaned properly since there was a earing on the floor that did not belong to us. Toilet was weird and you has to put the handle in a position for it to flush otherwise the water would run nonstop. Don’t be fooled by the breakfast deal. It is 30 dollar credit that can’t even cover the meals and the coffee for 2 people so you will have to pay extra.

Aircon extremely loud so has to be switched off at night time, fridge is tiny, so not really useful. Room cleaning we obtained after complaining (we asked 5 times for it). Management's attitude was professional then. All in all we found it a little bit overrated. In the nearer environment no restaurants, but bar in hotel offers a variety of meals which are suitable for a small dinner.

Helpful staff. Spacious, clean, and quiet room. Yoga equipment in the room was a plus. Comfortable beds. Convenient restaurant in the hotel. The room location was on the first floor facing the courtyard so we were not able to open the shades. The area had limited dining options within a walking distance. Most cafes, etc. were closed on the weekend.

The location was perfect for our needs for a short trip. Good variety of eateries plus the hotel is a few minutes walk from a beautiful lake park. However, this is a very busy and noisy area. The rooms are hermetically sealed and we didn't like the constant cycling on and off of the HVAC system. Bed was OK. No cups or glasses provided in the room. Nice staff. It's a perfectly fine modern space-fitness gear in the room-we just didn't like it

We paid extra for a city view, the room was facing other rooms and you could barely see the “city view”. Our friends who got regular rooms had a better view than we did. The parking was difficult to navigate and there was no information in the check in details. I would not stay here again.

Booked a 2 Queen Bed room FOUR MONTHS IN ADVANCE get there, check in, go up to the room and open the door and it's single king bed. We had to sleep on the floor. Hotel just strugged their shoulders and said sorry we're sold out nothing we can do and to talk to a manager during the week. After getting a run around from the manager, Majd is his name, he finally told me they are going to do nothing. I think this should of been comped or discounted. Did not get what I paid for and no other options. Maybe if they would of told us at check in they messed up that would be one thing but they just moved us along and did nothing to help.

Room was nice. Location was good. I would have said definitely recommend but there was a mix up with the billing and we got double billed for the stay. After 3 phone calls to try to have the charges reversed, spoke to three different people, was told twice to contact my bank they finally realized it was their error. Didn't even get an apology for the inconvenience for their mistake. Lots of places to stay in Seattle, I can't recommend after my experience.

We chose this property as it was in a safer and quieter area than our last stay in downtown Seattle. The desk staff were so welcoming and kind. Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we were thrilled that there was an ice and water station on the eighth floor that we stayed on (I think those are available on several floors.) We walked to restaurants and Pike's Market, and it was easy to get an Uber to our concert. This was our first time staying at this property brand, and I will definitely look for this hotel brand for future travels.

Our daughter was getting married on the Virginia V, so the location was our reason for choosing this spot. Practically across the block from MOHAI.

They do not offer room service for food, which I thought was odd considering the price we paid to stay here and the fact that sometimes, wellness means being in your room alone with food. Another minor complaint is that there are no microwaves in the rooms, but it was easy to go down to the Even lobby to use the microwaves there.
