Fodor's Review:

For its views alone, the Inn at the Market would be worthy of a Fodor's Choice. But views alone don't make a hotel great -- this one has all the pieces of the puzzle from friendly service to a great location (in the north end of the market, but tucked away from the bustle of First Avenue) to simple, sophisticated guest rooms with Tempur-Pedic beds and bright, spacious bathrooms. Although the decor is nowhere as unique as at the Edgewater (the hotel's only direct competitor), if you book far enough in advance, you can get a far better deal on a water-view room here. All rooms have essentially the same decor and amenities; they're differentiated only by the types of views they offer. You certainly won't be disappointed with the Partial Water View rooms -- some have small sitting areas arranged in front of the windows. The four Deluxe Water View rooms are really spectacular, though -- 708 and 710 are the ones to shoot for, as they share a large private sundeck. Even if you have to settle for a City Side room (a good deal even in high season), you can enjoy uninterrupted water views from the fifth-floor garden deck. The lobby is small but sweet; you won't see the water from here, but the view of a courtyard with a fountain and ivy-covered balconies is very pleasant. It's worth mentioning that room service is from Campagne, one of the city's best restaurants. The hotel has a complimentary town-car service for Downtown locations.
