"We chose Harbor Steps primarily for its location. We wanted convenient access to downtown after debarking from an Alaska cruise. This was our first visit to Seattle. Our stay was a delight. We enjoyed Chihuly Glass museum, the Klondike museum, Volunteer Park, the ferry to Bainbridge Island and a Mariners/Yankees baseball game. Everything was easily accessible from Harbor Steps. Harbor Steps was a short ride from the ship terminal. Debra accommodated our request to drop our bags with the concierge and have an early checkin. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The studio was spacious and well supplied for our needs. We had breakfast in and all other meals out as we toured the city. We found the Harbor Steps amenities very useful. We used the fitness rooms and even enjoyed a few games of pool. We were close to everything downtown so walking was always a possibility. The best thing we did was go to the Westlake and King St stations to purchase senior and disabled passes for the transit system. This allowed us to ride all over the area for one dollar per trip (often round-trip because of the transfer time window). So we ranged from downtown to Capital Hill and Lake Union/Volunteer Park to SeaTac for minimal cost. The transit system is very, very good with respect to frequency of service and area coverage. Also, people and drivers were very friendly and helpful. Debra was always quickly responsive before and after our stay, even though we were out of touch during parts of our cruise. We would definitely consider returning to Harbor Steps in the future."
