Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms had a ton of character and were very comfortable, with a spacious layout and a convenient walk-in shower. The artwork dedicated to a teacher added a unique touch to the ambiance. While the hotel was just a short Uber ride away from attractions, the service staff were not fully empowered to address certain issues. Nevertheless, their friendliness and accommodation were outstanding, and I especially enjoyed the pool. The location was ideal, overlooking the indoor pool and providing easy access to Bothell's old town and other McMenamin brothers' locations. The hotel offered a complete experience within walking distance to food and drink options in the area. Although the breakfast was not available early in the morning, it was decent overall. The facilities were well-maintained, emphasizing the inviting atmosphere of the pool building.
The hotel provided a quiet and charming atmosphere with beautiful windows and nice furnishings in the rooms. However, there were some cleanliness issues and the lack of bathroom ventilation was a downside. The location, though pleasing to the eye, was marred by noisy delivery carts outside in the early morning.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel tucked away in Bothell. The rooms were very clean, the best I've seen at any property, spacious, and well-appointed, making me feel right at home. The high ceilings added a lot of character to the rooms. The service was impeccable, with staff being very respectful and accommodating, although they seemed limited in resolving issues. The location was magical, overlooking the indoor pool, and offering a full experience without even needing to wear shoes. While the dining was not available before I had to leave for work, the organic section was good. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with some minor drawbacks.
