10. The hotel has a trolley car that stops a few steps away that takes you into the downtown area for a minimal fee, and is just across from Lake Union, which is a great place to walk, and was being improved at the time of our stay with more walking areas, benches, lake-front viewing, etc. There are sea planes you can watch taking off and landing all day-very cool.
