Decent fitness center.
If you’re considering staying here, I recommend calling the hotel to see if there is a cruise line departure during your stay. Boarding is right across the street from the hotel. If so, plan on the hotel being full the night before, the lobby packed with cruise ship passengers (some of whom may not even be hotel guests but just using the lobby as a departure lounge), and a really long line for the restaurant when it opens for breakfast the morning of the ship departure.
I also stayed here recently and found this hotel to be in poor taste. Tons of Cruise Passengers in the lobby and M Lounge that wasn't staying at the hotel (overheard conversations) and in general ... the only upside was the views from the room (when there wasn't a ship in port). The destination fee is also a cash grab, breakfast was weak, and to be honest if you're staying in Seattle you're better off staying nearby South Lake Union or more central to downtown/Pike at the Sheraton or Westin.
