Holiday Inn Express & Suites Seattle Downtown - Lake Union by IHG

The hotel's location is great, very close to the Space Needle, less than a ten-minute walk away. Pike Place Market, Amazon, and other attractions are also within a half-hour walk. It was World Cup season, so Seattle was very lively, especially Pike Place Market.

The room is great, and the facilities and hygiene are excellent. The location is superb, right near Amazon headquarters, and within walking distance. It's a quiet and beautiful environment, very comfortable. However, be aware of the deposit issue with the front desk; luckily, Trip.com helped me resolve it.

The hotel is new, but still has a bit of a renovation smell. It's in a central location, very close to the Space Needle. There's a dedicated parking lot, which you access with your room card after check-in, but it costs $35 plus tax, which isn't cheap.

Facilities: They're currently renovating, and breakfast wasn't available during my stay... they said they'd issue a refund. The gym wasn't open either, but guests can use the gym at the hotel next door. Cleanliness: Pretty clean. Environment: It's right next to the DT, so it's convenient and safe to walk everywhere.
