We had to wait for our rooms to be prepared, so we ate next door at the Redfin restaurant. They were actually closing for dinner preparatioins, but they opened the door and served us. I remember it being a good meal but can't find the pictures of the food. Not too sure if we took pictures of the meal.
I have to say this is an interesting hotel to stay in. This is an outside shot of the hotel from across the street.
Inside the hotel, walking down the hall of our floor, you will notice artwork on every door.
Even the carpet is quirky.
Another interesting door picture.
A close up of the Eifel Tower in black and white.
The next picture is the last one of the black and white picture doors.
At the end of the hall, a window that is also a fire escape has what appears to be an eye chart.
If you read the letters, they cleverly spell out a message.
The actual room was small. We expected a small room, but this was even smaller than we expected. However, it did have everything we needed like the LCD TV, coffee maker, and the $6 bottles of water (we passed on that). Too rich for our wallet.
My wife and I appreciated these views in the middle of the city. You can feel the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle at all times.
We had a corner unit with a total of 3 windows. You could literally see out of every window while laying down in bed.
By the way, the many reviews on different travel sites of this hotel always describe the pillows like sleeping on a cloud. It is true. These were the softest pillows I have ever slept on. The pillow top mattress also was pleasantly firm and soft like a giant marshmallow. This was the best sleep I ever had in a hotel bar none.
The bathroom was OK. Many people complained that it was too small and they are probably right. Especially if you are a tall person. It sufficed for us.
Now, I like taking pictures of what is outside our room.
This room had some interesting views out of all the windows in every direction.
The view of a main street intersection. Just above it is the monorail system. A few pictures down I caught it passing by.
A view of the office building with people working or at least pretending to be busy.
A glamorous shot of the tall skyscrapers with one still being built.
This window shows a great old building with some nice detail. On the left side you see a tall mall and the Roosevelt sign in the distance.
This is the bottom of that same building.
This is a reflection of the hotel sign on the office building.
Here is a close up of the Roosevelt sign. That is the Sheratone Hotel next to it. We stayed at that hotel on our previous Seattle trip
This is a close up of that mall Pacific Place I think. It is 4 or 5 stories high.
This is a close up of the monorail as it is actually passes by.
I think just below it is a weird section where a bunch of one way street intersects. Unusual triangle island or bad city planning?
Now the next pictures are some hotel amenities. This is the standard coffee machine with teas on the side.
This weird amenity is for Adult enjoyment. Quite disturbing in that I think these are used and probably been used many times over judging by the wear and tear on the boxes. This is the first time I have seen this in a hotel.
I am not talking about the wine or t shirt. I am talking about this.
We took over a 1000 photos in Seattle, but I will end this post of the room here. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave me a comment.
Cheers!
