Everything you'd expect from the services as advertised, clean, and the free breakfast was nice. My mattress had a hole in it which made sleeping on it in certain positions a little uncomfortable, though.

Kudos to the Green Tortoise
This was an amazing place to stay! The communal concept was clearly well thought out and executed in the best fashion. The dudes at the front desk were knowledgeable, helpful, and easygoing. Honestly, probably one of the best hotel/travel experiences I’ve had in a while. Not sure when I’ll be returning to Seattle, but I will most definitely be staying at The Green Tortoise when I do. Kudos to All!
