Kimpton Hotel Monaco Seattle
The room was fantastic—clean, modern, and stylish with great attention to detail. I loved how walkable everything was; I could easily grab a delicious lobster roll just a few blocks away and explore the neighborhood on foot. Public transit access is also super convenient. The only downside was parking—since there’s no on-site garage, you have to rely on valet service. Being located right on a busy street with traffic lights, it can be tricky to find space during peak times, and sometimes cars get turned away due to congestion. Still, the overall experience was excellent, and the location more than makes up for it.

Staying at Kimpton Hotel Vintage Seattle was an absolute delight. While the property has a classic, slightly vintage feel, the recent renovation really brought it to life—charming decor with a modern touch, and every detail feels thoughtfully curated. The location is fantastic: just a short walk from downtown attractions, transit hubs, and great dining options. What truly stood out was the exceptional service—staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely went the extra mile to make the stay special. It’s clear they take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere. For my trip on November 18–19, 2025, this hotel exceeded expectations. If you're looking for a unique, well-executed urban retreat with heart and character, this is a must-book. Highly recommend!
Staybridge Suites Seattle Downtown - Lake Union
I booked this hotel for my child who was attending a one-week training program at Amazon's headquarters. The location was perfect—just a 5-minute walk to the office, which made commuting super convenient. The room was spacious and surprisingly well-equipped with a small kitchenette, which was a big plus for short stays. We appreciated having the ability to prepare simple meals without leaving the hotel. The overall atmosphere was quiet and clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s a great value for the price, and I’d definitely stay here again if we ever return to Seattle.
Staybridge Suites Seattle - Fremont
I was assigned a room facing the street on arrival, which was quite noisy—definitely not ideal. However, the front desk kindly rearranged me to a quieter interior room, and that made a huge difference. The new room had windows that opened, allowing for fresh air and a more pleasant atmosphere. The space was generous, the bed was comfortable, and I slept well throughout my stay. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight—amazing views of the city, especially at sunset. It’s also just a 15-minute walk from a great variety of restaurants, including one Thai place that stood out for its authentic flavors and reasonable prices. Breakfast was included and surprisingly good—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and well-prepared. While some facilities showed signs of age, they didn’t detract from the overall experience. Cleanliness, staff friendliness, and the convenient location really made up for it. I’d definitely stay here again.
Holiday Inn Seattle Downtown - Lake Union
The front desk staff was incredibly accommodating, letting me check in as early as 12 PM—no hassle at all. The room is spacious and spotlessly clean, with the added bonus of an on-site coin laundry, which is a huge convenience when traveling. The café right next to the hotel serves tasty, affordable meals—perfect for a quick bite without leaving the building. One thing worth noting is that soundproofing could be improved; I could clearly hear footsteps and conversations from the hallway outside my door. That said, it’s a minor issue compared to the overall excellent experience. Great location, top-notch service, and a really comfortable stay. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting downtown Seattle.
Staypineapple, Hotel Five, Downtown Seattle
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.
Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Pioneer Square
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.
Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District 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.
