Roosevelt Hotel - Seattle

[abrowncow]

i know the Seattle hotel topic has been done to death but i haven't been able to find much info on the Roosevelt.

 

we're going to have a couple days before our cruise in May and wanted to stay at a centrally located hotel in Seattle. We're interested in seeing the Market, the Space Needle and maybe a little wandering around.

 

We're thinking of booking a couple nights at the Roosevelt - the location seems good - near an airport shuttle stop, walking distance to the Market (?). Price isn't really an issue - this is our vacation - we can get a room here for around $120 which is a reasonable price.

 

is this a decent place? is the neighborhood walkable? how far a walk to the Market?

 

any help or suggestions are appreciated!

From there to the market is about half a mile, downhill or flat all the way (of course this means a slight uphill going back to the hotel, but by no means is it one of Seattle's really steep hills.

Lots of restaurants within close walking distance.

A couple blocks from the downtown transit tunnel (light rail service to and from the airport)

unfortunately our plans have changed for this trip and we've booked somewhere else but it's good info to know for when we go back!
