3. Great, scenic views that are yours for free (I skipped the tourist lines at the Space Needle and just relaxed in an Adirondack chair on the roof and got a similar view!) The location is also great; one of the best Cajun brunch places is right up the street, Toulouse Petit, which was recommended to me by a local and did not disappoint; Easy Street Records, where you can get your Seattle Nirvana/Pearl Jam fix; Metropolitan Market, a 24 hour 'Whole Foods Style' grocery; and more are all within a few blocks of the hotel and the monorail to head downtown is just a few more blocks away.
