Mediterranean Inn
The rooms are small but nice. It’s a beautiful hotel. The lobby is nice and welcoming. The staff were amazing. The next time we come back to Seattle we are definitely staying again and a lot of that has to do with the staff. (Cleaning staff included. Incredibly sweet and attentive) We can’t wait ...

Executive Hotel Pacific
Room was a little small but worked out fine. Street noise was definitely noticeable but understandable for the area. Everything was clean. It was a little dated as well.
