I wish we could have stayed longer, but our flight was delayed due to a snowstorm in Boston. We arrived very late at night and had been upgraded without asking. There was some construction going on the next morning so we were given a room on a higher floor to be further away from any noise disturbance.

It was a minute or two walk from the Public Market. There was a lot to see within walking distance.

The beds were extremely comfortable. the only down side was that you had to walk outside for a few seconds to get to some of the rooms.

We had contact with many people at the front desk, all of whom were very happy to help and full of all kinds of information. We'd stay again and recommend it highly.

I stayed at the Inn at the Market for the weekend preceding New Year's Eve, with wheelchair-using spouse and my 80+-year-old parents who both walk with canes. The hotel allocated adjoining (though not connected) handicapped-accessible rooms on the third floor (301 + 302). A door separates these two rooms from the rest of the floor, which features a conference room or two, resulting in a very quiet stay.
Because of the extremely steep slope of Pine Street down to the Pike Place Market, these rooms, reached by a lift from the lobby, are on the street level of First Avenue. It is possible to request a key to this street level door, allowing disabled guests to return directly to their room (and the elevators) without negotiating the slope to the main lobby. A bus stop outside the door unfortunately precludes bringing a car right to the door, but a parking lot on level ground is just a block away, and might suit for setting down or picking up a wheelchair-using passenger.
Both rooms were very attractively furnished (see photo) and both had windows opening onto the little alley separating the hotel from Campagne Restaurant (which provides the dinner room service). 301 also has an oversized, bumped-out window-seat overlooking Pine St and the market. Great for early morning people watching.
Access was acceptable in both bathrooms. A steel shelving unit holding towels and bath amenities was convenient but it made 301's bathroom a tighter fit than necessary; the toilet height, position in the room, and placement of grab bars were problematic. Pluses included the wall-hung sink and curbless shower stall that included a seat with a back.
An additional accessibility caveat: the hotel's main entrance and valet car parking service is on Pine. The slope is steep, a potential hazard for a disabled driver exiting from the driver's side of the vehicle. Exit from the passenger side, and nose the car into the curb (which is, incidentally, 5" high) to offer the greatest protection from traffic and the incline.

Wow! What a great hotel! Good job TripAdvisor reviewers...I chose this hotel based on the ranking and reviews, and I'm very glad I did. This is definitely a "boutique" hotel, but the price was very reasonable. Yes, it was a winter rate, but I would have no problem going back in the high season. The location of the hotel is perfect. It's right above the Pike Place Market (not literally) and in the heart of downtown. Each morning, we could step outside, and get breakfast from a multitude of local eateries, and then stroll through the market to pick up grapefruit-size apples. It's also a few blocks from the Westlake center and a little further to the Space needle. And it's just a stones throw from the Seattle waterfront.

The room itself is rather spacious, and the Tempur Pedic bed was really nice. I wasn't used to it, and slept only ok on it, but at least they went the extra mile to put those high end mattresses in the rooms. The bathroom was also very nice, and very clean. There is a stocked honor bar and mini-fridge (which I used to store my own drinks and cold items), as well as a room safe. The view from the room was awesome. We were supposed to have a "city view" but I got a partial water view from my room. (Tip: I told them I wanted to be away from the elevators, which I do recommend, and they gave me a better room since the elevators are by the city view rooms) We spent a good amount of time just relaxing by the large bay window people watching and gazing out over the sound and the Olympic mountains in the distance. The only complaint I would have is the TV reception was not very good, and the number of stations was very limited. We didn't even get the weather channel, and this is Seattle in winter!!! But, who spends their vacation watching TV in the hotel?

Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel. Its location cannot be beat, and the boutique feel to it was very nice. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was very quiet at night (Seattle is very quiet at night!) also. The 5th floor "rooftop garden" was a great place to hang out, albeit cold in winter! It also overlooks the Sound, with nice vistas in all directions. You can even see Mt. Ranier from the garden. It was a memorable vacation, staying at the very fine Inn at the Market.

Terrific location, literally steps from Pike Place Market, just down the hill from 1st. We upgraded to a water view room, and had a great view from the sixth floor out onto Elliot Bay, counting the WA State ferries shuttling between Bainbridge Island and Bremerton to Seattle. The room was large, well appointed, and quiet.

The property is interesting, given it has three eateries and a spa/salon integrated into the structure. But we ate elsewhere, since there is an abundance of great restaurants and specialty eateries within a short walking distance. Breakfast on First at Crumpets (wonderful), dinner at Etta's down the street on Western, and a wonderful reco from the desk staff right across the street at 94 Stewart. You have got to try the special avacado appetizer! Easy walk to major shopping and the monorail to the Space Needle. By the way, definitely eat at the retaurant at the top. The food was suprisingly good!

We only spent two nights ... but based on the beautiful room and facility, proximity to the Market, the view, and the great staff, we will be back!
