Our second stay and as usual, an exceptional and highly recommended place to stay!! I have never seen a hotel as well maintained, much less one a hundred years old. The service and cookies and amenities and people are beyond all else I have experienced in an American hotel.

The detailing in our room is extraordinarily ornate- 10 baseboards, 8 ceiling boards with crown molding on top -and not a nick or gouge anywhere.

Being Seattle, they go all out on coffee with a quarter pound of Starbucks and a French press in every room. I have to contrast this with Hilton HAMPTON, which goes way out of their way to make their room coffee as unattractive and generic as possible!! The same contrasts are evident in personal amenities which are made to be invisible in all BUT Hilton and Doubletree rooms.

I could go on and on about the Klondike theme that is even extended to portraits and furnishings in your room, but suggest you see for yourself and be sure to stop here when your are in Seattle!
