Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kings Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the higher floors (above 10th floor) of the hotel. These rooms tend to be quieter due to the hotel's layout, which puts the elevator and service entrance on lower floors, reducing street noise and elevator traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1-5) as they are closer to the street and may experience more noise from traffic and pedestrian activity on 5th Avenue.
Best views
Rooms on the north or south side of the building (floors 11-18) may have views of the surrounding cityscape, including the Space Needle and Puget Sound.
Quietest floors
Floors 11-18 are generally quieter due to their higher elevation and distance from the street and elevator.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests can expect some noise from the elevator and service entrance, but it's generally minimal. However, rooms on lower floors may be more susceptible to street noise from 5th Avenue.
