There is a trash and homeless issue.

3/5 - Okay

I went the night of the Riot. That sucked, it was right outside & pepper spray was in the air in the lobby. Not the hotels fault.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

From my observation a very clean & easy city to get around. Very good dining options, places of interest & lots of attractions to see & visit.

4/5 - Good

Steve

A lot of hills & fairly expensive. Because of the businesses & attractions closed due to the Covid-19 shutdown orders, there wasn’t much to see or visit & Seattle is dealing with homelessnes. However, the weather was great and SLU is a beautiful area
