Clean, modern and friendly. It's almost a "capsule" hotel, like Moxy properties. For a single individual or a couple, it's all you need and the SLU location is great.

Cool hotel in Seattle
Self check in was easy but it would have been nice to have been welcomed by a hotel representative in the process. The room was nice, bed super cozy. Fun to be able to control the “mood” of the room via iPad. Hotel is close to restaurants, coffee shops and the Space Needle.

CDE from the South
Cool hotel and very modern. Nice and clean but the rooms are very tiny. Smaller than a cruise ship room yet very expensive. Some people may like that and that’s fine but I guarantee I will never pay to stay here again!!!

Really Fun Hotel
All of the staff were so patient and helpful. The room was really amazing-very pretty & very digitized. I especially loved that the sleep mode went completely black. I slept really well, and the room was very quiet. I would definitely stay here again. It is very fun.
