Des Moines Beach

My room was very clean and cozy. I loved the bathroom, how big, clean and modern it was, including an automatic light up magnifying makeup mirror! If I had known, I would have left mine at home! The parking is a bit tricky if you have a larger vehicle. When I stayed, there were 2 sports games downtown going on at the same time, so the hotel was booked up, and the parking garage is 4 levels, but not large, and the spaces are very tight. The larger SUVs do not fit side by side. If you have a fleet of MINIs then, no problem, or motorcycles, or Smart cars...you get the idea. I was very lucky to find free parking on the street however, from 10 pm to all day Sunday, which saved me the $27 USD (I am from Canada) per night in the squishy scary underground! so I was grateful to find that. I love the free coffee and it was very good. Even the coffee in my room was great. All the amenities, I was surprised to find a mini fridge, microwave and many other things. even snacks! No drinks though... I would love if they had a continental breakfast though, but Starbucks is very close, and has great egg bites. Maybe a Starbucks coupon for guests? I would stay here again, and great value compared to other hotels in the area.

Wonderful stay as always! The only thing I’d recommend is for cleaning staff to check the pull outs even if they haven’t been used. We went to pull out our couch for our teen to have his own bed and found candy wrappers under the cushion. No dirt or grim though, just wrappers so a minor thing. FYI. We’d still book here first out of anywhere in the Seattle center area. Their service is the best!

Property itself was good but the area feels pretty unsafe. Parked in the hotel recommend parking lot and had my window smashed on the first evening causing $1000 worth of damage. Would not recommend staying here if you have a vehicle. The parking is expensive and is not secure.
