The hotel’s ambiance is modern and clean, and its central location makes exploring downtown Seattle a breeze—just a short walk or quick transit ride away. I especially loved the breakfast spread: fresh, varied, and delicious, with plenty of hot and cold options to suit every taste.

This trip was memorable, and I’ve already recommended it to friends. If you're visiting Seattle, this hotel is absolutely worth considering—it truly delivers on comfort, service, and value.
Staying at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront was an absolutely fantastic experience. The room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. Cleanliness was top-notch—everything felt fresh and well-maintained, down to the smallest details in the bathroom. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service; they were always ready to help, making the stay feel personal and welcoming. What really stood out was the convenient location near the airport—easy access by both public transit and car, which made arriving after a long flight stress-free. For travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent value, this hotel is a perfect choice. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Seattle.
Staying at the Crowne Plaza Seattle-Downtown was an absolute highlight of my trip! Just a 10-minute walk to Pike Place Market, the location is perfect for exploring the city on foot. The hotel itself is clean, modern, and well-maintained—every detail feels thoughtfully designed. The front desk staff went above and beyond with their service; they were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with recommendations or local tips.

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.
We stayed at the Silver Cloud Hotel - Seattle Broadway twice during our recent six-day trip to the Pacific Northwest—one stay for three nights and another for a single night—and were genuinely pleased with both experiences. While not particularly luxurious or unique in design, the rooms were comfortable and perfectly suited our needs. Our deluxe king room was spacious, with plenty of storage space and ample electrical outlets. The beds provided excellent comfort, and the quiet room made for restful sleep. Facing Madison Street instead of Broadway meant fewer disturbances—though the trolleys still chime twice (not three times, as famously sung), which was a pleasant surprise. One minor note: there wasn’t a task chair in the room, just a small round table that could double as a dining or work surface, which felt a bit limiting. My spouse also found the seating options lacking in back support. That said, the staff were professional, efficient, and always responsive when we had questions or needed assistance. Self-parking is available in a compact garage, priced fairly for a central-city location. But honestly, the real highlight of this hotel is its location. In past visits to Seattle, we’ve either stayed far from downtown or in tourist-heavy zones. This property sits in the Capitol Hill/First Hill neighborhood—a genuine, lively local community with surprisingly few other hotels nearby. There’s an abundance of great independent restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, including one well-known chain roastery. Downtown attractions are easily accessible on foot—about 15 to 20 minutes away—but the return walk uphill can be tough, especially on steep grades. Still, living near a major city center ourselves, we appreciate the authentic urban vibe: seeing people walking their dogs, diverse neighbors, and a true sense of place. Of course, we also noticed signs of homelessness, but that’s part of what makes the area real and grounded. For travelers who value location, character, and a more local experience over flashy amenities, this hotel offers exceptional value. It’s not perfect, but it delivers exactly what matters most: convenience, comfort, and a taste of real Seattle.
I wish I had found this hidden gem sooner! I was in Seattle for a 5-day stay but ended up discovering this hotel by chance and only stayed two nights—yet it was absolutely fantastic. The place is spotless, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room is functional with all the essentials (though I had to ask for a kettle). The price was excellent for what you get. It's also perfectly located—right between the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, making it super convenient for sightseeing. There are some homeless individuals and people struggling with substance use near the bus stop right in front of the hotel, but they didn’t feel threatening or aggressive toward passersby. I felt safe throughout my stay. Overall, an outstanding experience—highly recommend for anyone visiting 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.
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.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the Space Needle, Seattle Center, and other major attractions. You can easily explore the city on foot without needing to rely on transportation. While the hotel isn’t brand new, it’s been well-maintained with a clean, inviting atmosphere and a unique, stylish vibe that gives it character. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay—always smiling, ready to assist, and making us feel welcome. It’s clear they take pride in their guest experience. Comfortable rooms, thoughtful touches, and a central spot in one of Seattle’s most vibrant areas make this a top choice. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle who wants convenience, charm, and great service.
