It's in the heart of downtown, on 6th and Stewart, if that means anything to anyone, about a half to three-quarters mile to the Space Needle. When we were checking in, they told us our room was on the tenth floor. Swanky, we thought. Then we saw the elevator:
Swanky indeed, since you needed your room key-card to get the whole contraption to work.
While uncommonly small, the elevator actually reflected the sizes of the rooms themselves which were New York City sized, or what I'd imagine a budget hotel in Manhattan to resemble size-wise (see me in the big mirror behind the bed):
The downstairs lobby was very posh and hip, the desk covered in a thick clear laminate over a bright red color. The color scheme inside was red and black, and the circled "M" was smartly branded on things. There was artwork on the walls of the lobby and the rooms, and each room's door had a different black and white pop-vintage photo print. Our room was the "Marilyn Monroe" room, as Corrie dubbed it, due to the image. One picture in the lobby is a painting of a woman, a woman I recognized, and eventually remembered who I think she is:
Pretty sure that's based on the actress who played Dixie Cousins on The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr..
This was a well located spot I'd be down to stay in again, or recommend to anyone perusing downtown hotels.
Here's a parting artistic image from the tenth floor. If you spend enough time, like I did, you too can figure out what it says:
