Gold Creek Trailhead

Hotel staff were so welcoming and everything was good.

Great and close to most things. Pro tip - get off at Westlake station I think it’s C1 exit and walk 2 blocks. Hotel is there. Train is about 3 bucks but you can get a day pass for 11-12 if you buy the card. Restaurant closes early on Sundays. Plan around that. Happy hour is nice and everyone is friendly. Grab a City Pass to see most major attractions. Do NOT use it for the boat tour online they charge fees. Instead go into the office itself and use the pass. Pikes place is nice but use it for food not tourist trap stuff and to look. Watch out for the homeless - they are mostly harmless just super drugged out. Also Super H mart is across the street don’t eat the crap in the room they charge you - 17 bucks for a bottle of water? Like what? Super H has booze, water and easy to carry food. Target nearby as well. Stay away from that McDonalds the homeless congregate. Coffee in the room is free - small cup - but free. Water bottle refill station in the restaurant. If it’s closed the desk clerk can get you some and it’s free! So bring a bottle. FYI they don’t do ice water here as normal - you need to ask. They do not I repeat do not have 24 hour places as the norm but there is a IHOP you can Uber to if needed and some late night dive places.

We are local and came for the indoor pool/sauna complex, disappointed it was closed for the entire stay. Otherwise very good.
