Seattle Gaslight Inn

Very great people. Made our stay feel like home and was cheaper than most hotels in the area

I appreciated that the original architectural details have been preserved.

Walkable to bars in a nice neighborhood.

In almost every way the Gaslight Inn is a five star experience, but as much as I wanted to give it five stars I couldn't because of two issues. The good: The property is charming both inside and out. It was very clean. The rooms were quiet. The bed comfortable and the pillows usable (too many properties give you pillows that look great is pictures but are terrible to sleep on). The owners (who live on the property) were veryf friendly and helpful. The Issues: Parking, it is all street parking which is in very short supply. And what parking is available requires paralell parking into tight spaces. It is quite possible you will have to park blocks away and walk. The easy fix is not to bring a car, ubers are very quick here (often arriving before you can walk out to the street). The TV - The situation with the in room tvs is terrible. They are streaming only and you only have access to two streaming services (Hulu and one other). There is no cable or over the air channels. When on vacation I like to watch the local news to check the weather. This was not easy to do and required a lot of searching and scrolling, the owner said the local stations were on Hulu under the "live" catagorie.. there was no live catagory. Sometimes a broadcast would show up marked live.. but it was not consistant. The TV would also buffer and crash to black screen, and if someone rang the Ring doorbell.. its video would show on the screen and crash your program.

Cool spot. Cool neighborhood. Great stay.
