Our short stay at The Westin Seattle turned out to be a perfect little escape in the heart of the city. We arrived late and decided to stop by for just one night, but ended up loving every moment. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just steps away from downtown and only a quick walk to Demetrius Jazz Alley, where we enjoyed a memorable dinner surrounded by live jazz music. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the meal was absolutely delicious. But what really stood out was the room—the beds were incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep after a long day exploring. From the welcoming staff to the thoughtful touches throughout the property, this was an exceptional experience. I’d definitely choose this hotel again when visiting Seattle.
Staying right next to my daughter's dorm was a huge plus, especially when our flight got delayed and we had to book last minute. The hotel exceeded expectations despite a slightly basic bathroom — everything else was top-notch. I absolutely loved the artwork on the first floor; it gave the space such a unique, vibrant vibe. The room was clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Being so close to campus made everything super convenient. Overall, an excellent choice for both business and family visits. Would definitely come back.
Staying at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Seattle Downtown was an excellent choice.

The soundproofing is great, so you won’t be disturbed by outside noise.

Staying at Reside Seattle Downtown by Wyndham was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right next to Pike Place Market and within walking distance of so many great spots. I loved how central it felt, with everything from shops and restaurants to attractions just steps away. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, making it feel like a home away from home. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Seattle.
I was really disappointed with my stay here. While the location is decent—just a short walk from downtown and close to public transit—the overall experience fell far short of expectations. The room felt outdated, with worn-out furnishings and minimal upkeep. What made it worse was the lack of communication: I received only automated emails with no personal response from the host. No matter how many times I reached out, there was no real interaction or assistance. It’s frustrating to book a place that feels impersonal and unresponsive. For the price, you’d expect at least basic hospitality. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone looking for a genuine, welcoming stay. There are definitely better options in Seattle.
This is my second stay at this hotel, and I can confidently say it’s already becoming my go-to choice for business trips. In Seattle, where accommodations often come with a hefty price tag, this property offers incredible value without compromising on comfort or service. The rooms are clean, modern, and well-maintained—perfect for a restful night after a long day. What really stood out was the front desk staff: incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm. They made every interaction feel personal and stress-free. Located near public transit, it’s easy to get around town, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in Seattle, this one’s definitely worth considering. I’ll be back.
This hotel exceeded my expectations! The room was spacious and impeccably clean, with a private underground parking garage—convenient and secure. While the daily parking fee is $25, it's actually quite reasonable for downtown Seattle. Location-wise, it’s perfect if you’re visiting the Space Needle or exploring the city center—everything is within walking distance. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet and safe the area felt, with very few homeless people around. Breakfast options weren’t extensive, but they covered the basics of a typical American breakfast—eggs, toast, fruit, and coffee—so it was satisfying. One tip: if you’re sensitive to noise, avoid rooms facing the street, as traffic can be noticeable at night. We opted for a quieter side room, and it made all the difference—peaceful and restful. Overall, great value, excellent service, and a fantastic stay!
Staying at Staypineapple Hotel Five in downtown Seattle was a fantastic experience. Despite its compact size, the hotel’s location is unbeatable—walking distance to the Space Needle and other top attractions makes exploring the city effortless. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. The pineapple-themed design elements and modern interior decor added a fun, vibrant touch that made the space feel joyful and unique. I also appreciated the nearby large parking lot, which offered significantly lower rates than the hotel’s own garage—great for travelers driving their own cars. Overall, it’s a well-designed, convenient, and stylish stay with excellent value, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle.
Staying at the Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square was an absolute pleasure! We arrived earlier than check-in time, but the front desk team happily accommodated us with early check-in—no hassle at all. The checkout process was just as smooth and efficient. Our room was spotless, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of downtown, steps away from Pioneer Square, shopping, dining, and major attractions. Walking to the waterfront or public transit was a breeze. This hotel offers excellent value for the quality and convenience. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Seattle.
I stayed at Staypineapple-Watertown Hotel in the University District, Seattle, and was thoroughly impressed. The room was clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—minimalist but functional with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. While basic toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste weren’t provided (which I actually appreciate for hygiene and sustainability), the room came equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—perfect for grabbing a quick snack or brewing a morning brew. What really stood out was the location: just a short walk to the University of Washington campus, and within easy reach of local restaurants, cafes, and shopping spots. Public transit is convenient too—getting around the city is a breeze. It’s a great choice for students, solo travelers, or anyone looking for a no-frills yet stylish stay in a vibrant neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Absolutely perfect stay from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond—friendly, professional, and always ready to help. My room was stylish, clean, and incredibly comfortable with a great bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The location is fantastic, just steps away from downtown Seattle’s best spots. Breakfast was delicious and varied—fresh pastries, local coffee, and healthy options. I loved the unique vibe of the hotel; it feels like a cool hangout spot rather than just a place to sleep. Every detail was thoughtfully done. Would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle.
I chose to stay near the University of Washington because I’d heard the downtown area isn’t the safest, and honestly, this was one of my best decisions. The College Inn Hotel feels just like a college dorm from an American TV show—clean, cozy, and full of charm. The European-style decor adds a nice touch, and it’s super convenient for exploring campus and nearby spots. The only thing to note is that our luggage was quite bulky, and without an elevator, carrying it up the stairs was a bit of a challenge—definitely need some stamina! But overall, the experience was fantastic. Great value, excellent location, and a really welcoming vibe. I’d definitely book here again.
