Pros (+) Very good beds, staff very helpful, location excellent if you want to be near ballard shops and...the best part is the opportunity to use the olympic athletic club across the street.
Cons (-) It is a noisy street, rooms are very small and sharing a bathroom brings back dormitory style living

Pros (+) Extremely clean rooms and facilities, comfortable, very friendly helpful staff, great location
Cons (-) Thought it was a little pricey considering that the shower and washrooms are shared with multiple rooms. Felt more like a boutique hostel. but everything was extremely clean and well kept.
