    Since I moved to Seattle in 2004, I've been looking for a quick escape. A place accessible by…read morepublic transportation where I could kick back and rejuvenate. I've found it! Miko's Guest House on Vashon island is a wonderful retreat complete with a private outdoor hot tub. The house is cozy with a wood burning stove, kitchen, and shower and the most relaxing bed. Karen, the owner, put together a welcome basket with wine, cheese, bread, coffee, and other local goodies. Of course, the best part was the hot tub. A day of soaking released a few months of stress. I'll definitely go back.

From the gift basket to the fluffy robes and slippers, we felt so comfortable we would have liked to enjoy a longer stay. The little house is filled with art from local artists, most of which is for sale. The downy bed is the most comfortable I've slept in. There was even a beautifully set table for two waiting for us, and a well-equipped kitchen. Miko's is a perfect spot for two people to settle in for a romantic, peaceful getaway. We celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary there just a few days before Christmas, and look forward to returning.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The space is great - both in our cabin and the common areas!read more

    The surface of this stay is a very nicely landscaped property with clean, separate prefab, mobile…read morehomes that serve as the "lodges" throughout. These have been souped up with a heated floor in the shower room and a gas fireplace. We stayed in Lodge 14 and it was fairly spacious, not creaky, with a king size bed in the main bedroom as well as a little curtained-off annex room with a small bed that worked for our son. The biggest issue at this property is that no staff are on sight. You can reach them via text, but there can be quite the delay in receiving an answer or you may receive none at all. You are especially out of luck if you run into a problem "after hours," which is after 5p. We stayed 2 nights. The first night we discovered the only blanket available for the annex bed was very heavy and way too hot. We had to open all the windows in the room to make up for this, which is nice, but the island is alive with birds starting at about 4:30a, making it too loud to have the windows open. We texted the property manager the following morning asking for a normal-weight comforter, or if they want us to just use the AC (we were hesitant to do that in the chilly weather). They informed me that the lodges' electrical systems are tied to each other, and there would be issues if we used AC in our lodge while the lodge next to it might be using the heat. They brought a lighter blanket, but it was barely heavier than a sheet, so not workable. I ended up having to open all the windows and then wake up at 4a to go back into my son's room to close his windows. Not relaxing. The property had a nice communal space with a wood fire pit as well as a glass fire pit (the latter of these emits very little heat), next to bathrooms and what looks like a inside common room and kitchen, though these were locked... You are given a code for the bathrooms. Night 2, at 7p, we wanted to hang out in the space with the friend we were visiting, and we could not access the bathrooms as our code was not working. I texted the number immediately, but no one ever responded. That was a huge bummer. I guess when you arrive, I would recommend immediately checking out all of the amenities and making sure they work, and your code works with them, as no one will be around to help you later. I was extremely disappointed that no one even responded to me. Pros: - It was clean. - Heaters in the shower room were nice - Shower was nice - Bed was large, though with the usual dips in the mattress that you get with many cheaper hotels. - A staff member did respond to my text after the first night issues, and they did try to help - The communal space was quite nice, even though I wasn't able to experience it all - The lodges are well-insulated - The location is excellent. Cons: - The lodge is pretty sterile feeling. It could be greatly improved with more art on the walls. - Only one sink in the lodge. Used for both kitchen and bathroom. - Not enough linen choices for bedding. - The pillows were absolutely horrific. Like large hard stuffed animals. They did bring us two slightly less stuffed pillows after the first night. These were still too hard and uncomfortable. - No bedside lamp on the left side of the main bed - My access codes to other parts of the property did not work, and no one responded to me about it. - The toilet, which is right next to the main bedroom, has an extremely loud flush. Not ideal during the night. - The couch was gross-looking, very worn. We didn't want to use it. We asked that they provide a blanket to cover it with. They assured me it was clean, just worse for wear. This place is cute and convenient. It could be improved with just a little more care and attention to detail (artwork, rugs, more linen options, nicer pillows). It could also be greatly improved by having one staff member on site, or at least on-call at all hours.

    Was in town for a weekend trip and made reservations very far in advance. Got here and everything…read moreseemed pretty clean at first but we quickly found old food left in the mini fridge and a dead bug in the sheets of one of the beds that left a stain. We called the lobby and they said they'd find us a new room. No word from customer service for an hour after that so we called back and they said there was no other room for us so we asked if they could change the sheets for us. In return we got questions like "Are you sure you saw a dead bug?" Yes. there was in fact a dead bug, and we did take a photo of it. UPDATE: We left for dinner 2 hours after they said they'd change the sheets and still never came to do so. We didn't return until 9:30 that night, five and a half hours after calling the front desk and still no room service because the cleaning lady's left early that night and the manager was out of town. Sure enough, dead bug stain was still there. Went to the front desk to ask why the sheets still weren't changed and they said we weren't there when they went change them. I'm still not sure why that kept them from changing them. They just handed us the sheets to change them ourselves. The worst part of this hotel isn't the fact that the rooms aren't clean, it's the horrible customer service.

    (Not sure why this business has 2 Yelp pages, but I'm copying my review over.)…read more We reserved through a hotel we stayed at for a ride to and from Century Link for a football game. Realistically, it was roughly the same price round trip from our hotel in Bellevue as it'd have been to park in the stadium's parking garage...and we didn't have to fight Friday evening rush hour traffic into downtown Seattle. Win-Win. Erik picked us up at our hotel right on time, and was courteous and polite, even through my kids' 1000 questions. haha! He went above and beyond and dropped us off absolutely right at the gate (even closer than the drop off zone on stadium's map). We exchanged numbers, paid for the return trip, and agreed to meet Erik at King Station an hour after we estimated the game would end. No problem. After the game, we walked out to the pick up/drop off area at King Station, and there was no car to be found. We walked a full circle around the station to ensure we weren't just missing where he was parked. No car. My husband called the number on the business card we were given, and was told he was parked "in a parking lot between Jackson & Main" waiting for us, and that the roads were closed around King Station so he couldn't get down there. #1--Bull. Cars were picking up and dropping off all around King Station. #2...Jackson and Main are parallel to each other...WHERE between Jackson and Main is said parking lot? A cross street would have been great, especially since we aren't from Seattle and don't know where every parking lot is. After several texts and phone calls, and lots of walking up and down streets, we were able to locate the driver...who was a different driver, and in a different vehicle. No way we would have ever found him on our own. We literally found the parking lot and stood across the street looking for the white town car that dropped us off for about 5 minutes. There is absolutely no reason he couldn't pick us up where we had originally been told to meet, and there is absolutely no reason he couldn't have mentioned to my husband he was in a different vehicle (we were dropped off in a white town car...and picked up a black SUV). The pick up car smelled vaguely of marijuana, which, fine whatever....but the driver constantly revved his engine behind cars at stop lights and tailgated so closely his front end collision sensors beeped until we got on the freeway. He was friendly enough, but that was unnecessary and really unacceptable in such a setting--you want to tailgate on your own time, fine, but you are supposed to be a professional driver...act professional. Maybe from a hotel to the airport or an event if it is truly convenient, but I would never--NEVER--recommend to be picked up after an event or a flight by this service. Absolutely ridiculous. The *ONLY* reason they get 2 stars instead of 1 from me is because we had no problems whatsoever with Erik.
