Rainier Beach

Seattle

Great free spot on a sunny day.
Great free spot on a sunny day.
You can literally get lost in this place!  It's wonderful if you have a couple hours to kill, and just like exploring.  The gardens are immaculately kept, and very extensive.  It's a surprise to find a place like this right in the heart of Seattle.

Crowded in the weekends, but always a nice spot for the ones who enjoy the PNW colors and rain.
Kubota Garden is a FREE American-Japanese Garden in South Seattle. Waterfalls, bridges, ponds and beautiful foliage!

everything was great except the parking situations. they have a very big parking lot but at the same time the hotel also busy, so once you can't get a parking that close to your room building you have to parked at the reserved parking (which the receptionist will give you ticket so it can be free) ...

8/10 Very Good! (4,451 reviews)
You did fine. It’s a solid 3 star hotel. Rooms are small, bathroom small, housekeeping every 4 days which is fine with me. Don’t pay extra for corner room as not worth it socially the one on the two corner. The price is just right. I liked the location.
