Inn at Virginia Mason

Seattle


On First Hill, just above the downtown area near a complex of hospitals, this nicely maintained older hotel caters to families needing to stay near the medical facilities. It also offers a number of basic rooms for other visitors and has a nice rooftop garden with a view from First Hill overlooking the rest of the city.
