What was good and what was bad?
Good:
+ Excellent shuttle service (drive is 8-10 minutes to LINK light rail, 12-15 minutes to the airport)
+ Price is half what you would pay for a comparable hotel in downtown Seattle
+ Spacious suites well-equipped with full-sized fridge, microwave, two burner stove, sink and full dinnerware sets
+ Large separate bedroom area well off of main hallway, slept very well

Bad:
- Mini-sofa in living room not at all comfortable
- Strange bedroom design. Bed and TV on one side of room, rest of room completely vacant
- One could hear the footsteps of the people staying above you, but it was reasonable
- Cramped and aging bathroom
- Ultra slow elevators

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Club Points? Would you return?
Very fair relative to downtown Seattle.
