Resort Experience:
The Inn at the Market is the perfect downtown location for Seattle sightseeing. Mere steps from famous Pike Place Market and the stunning waterfront -- not to mention you're within walking distance from the Seattle Art Museum, Benaroya Hall, Pioneer Square, wonderful shopping, and Westlake Center (where you can catch the monorail to the Space Needle). You're close to everything, yet you can find tranquility in your room or the guest deck overlooking Puget Sound.
The staff were nicely pressed and perfectly hospitable, if not downright friendly. Turndown service was prompt and tidy; the concierge raced up to our room to hand-deliver some band-aids for our aching feet (from all the sightseeing); and the valets were courteous and attentive. We did not use the room service from the nearby cafe and French restaurant, as there are so many great restaurants to choose from in the area.
The room was exactly as we requested -- and more. We were given a corner room on the 8th floor (their top floor) with a city view and a small balcony overlooking bustling First Ave. (Okay, so the balcony was tiny -- fitting, at most, four adults -- but none of the other floors had them!) The temperature is guest-controlled and had been set for us at an ideal temperature. The minibar was well-stocked and surprisingly affordable -- as far as hotel minibars go.
At the Inn at the Market we felt as if we had the best of both worlds -- the action of the city, and the comfort of home. We will definitely be staying there again... and soon, I hope!
