The hype

Bestil hvis You're a millennial (or millennial at heart) who trades square footage for a killer social scene and a stiff welcome drink.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Check-in happens at the bar and comes with a poker chip redeemable for a free cocktail
- The industrial-chic 'lumberjack lodge' aesthetic is genuinely fun, not just corporate cringe
- Prime South Lake Union location—walkable to Amazon HQ, the Space Needle, and Lake Union
Hurtig oversigt: It's a high-tech hostel for adults with credit cards—tiny rooms, zero closets, and a lobby you actually want to hang out in.
Anmeldt af @recriandomagia: I stayed here solo and honestly, checking in at the bar with a cocktail set the perfect tone. The room was cozy, but I spent all my time in the lobby playing games and meeting people. It’s such a fun, unpretentious vibe right in the city center.

Reality check
The 'soundproof' concrete walls are great for blocking street noise, but the hallway doors are paper-thin—you will hear late-night revelers returning to their rooms.
- You travel light and live out of your suitcase
- You prefer a lively lobby with board games over a quiet, stuffy library
- You want to be in the heart of the tech district (SLU) near Google and Amazon
Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is standard and generally praised, though some guests note missed dust on the concrete floors.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The white subway tiles and grout are usually immaculate.
- Maintenance: Newer build means few issues, though the 'industrial' look can sometimes mask wear and tear.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and clean, though the towels are on the smaller/thinner side typical of the brand.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells strongly of the signature 'Moxy' scent (citrus/floral)—love it or hate it.

Før du booker
Godt at vide
- There is no iron in the room—only a steamer. A communal iron is located in the hallway.
- Check-in is at the bar; have your ID ready for your free drink token.
- The 'gym' is solid but quirky—look for the pink punching bag and racer bike.
Hvad skal du pakke
- Earplugs for the hallway noise
- Packing cubes—since there are no drawers, you'll be living out of your bag
- A portable steamer if you hate the communal ironing board situation
Værelses-genie
Bedste valg
- Corner Prime King (ends in 01 or 16) for slightly more floor space and dual-aspect windows
- High floor (7th or 8th) facing the courtyard for maximum quiet
Værelser at undgå
- Rooms near the elevator bank—high foot traffic means high noise
- Low floor street-facing rooms if you're sensitive to city bustle

“I'd love to request a Corner Prime King room on a high floor (7+), as far from the elevator as possible. Quiet is my top priority!”
Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there really no closet?
Correct. You get a wall of pegs and hangers. It's 'open storage' taken to the extreme.
Is breakfast included?
No. There's a 24/7 grab-and-go market with naan, wraps, and pastries, but you pay for it. Coffee is free in the morning.
How bad is the parking situation?
Annoying. No hotel lot. You'll pay ~$35/day at nearby garages or hunt for street spots (free on Sundays).
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but it's steep: a $150 non-refundable fee per stay. They get treats and a bowl, though.
Is there a pool?
No pool. Just a 24/7 fitness center with a pink punching bag.
Is there a destination fee?
No hidden 'destination fee' as of early 2026, just the standard taxes and that hefty pet fee if applicable.
Insidertips
- ✨
The 'ironing room' is actually just an iron set up at the end of the hallway—grab it early if you have a meeting.
- ✨
Ask for a room ending in '16' for a view of the Space Needle (partial view, but it's there).
- ✨
The lobby bar has Jenga and shuffleboard—great for breaking the ice with strangers.

💡The signature snack at the 24/7 market is... Naan bread?
