Hotels in
From waterfront hotels overlooking Puget Sound to Capitol Hill boutiques, Seattle's hotel scene reflects the city's mix of nature and tech.
Grand Hyatt Seattle
Rooms are clean, quiet, and comfortable with good views and large bathrooms. Staff are friendly and helpful. Avoid valet parking at $68 or self-parking which costs more than advertised, use Spot Hero instead. Elevators get crowded and only two run at once.
Hyatt at Olive 8
Large, quiet, clean rooms with comfortable beds and good views. The spa facilities including pool, hot tub, and sauna are excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful, though the downstairs bagel shop gets overwhelmed during morning rush hours.
Hostel Fish Seattle
Clean beds, strong water pressure, good shower. Staff feel welcoming and helpful. Noise from common areas can bother light sleepers at night. Bathrooms lack storage and amenities like coat racks and trash cans. Great location near Pike Place Market and Belltown nightlife. Check their strict cancellation policy before booking.
Hyatt Regency Seattle
Staff treats you well and rooms feel spacious with good beds and views, but cleanliness standards slip sometimes. Elevator waits ran long during busy periods and AC placement made temperature control awkward for two people sharing a bed.
Silver Cloud Hotel - Seattle Lake Union
Rooms are large and clean with great Lake Union views, but street noise bothers light sleepers and furnishings look dated. Included breakfast is decent with a nice view, staff is helpful, and the location near the water is excellent. Coffee availability stops at 9:30 AM, which frustrates some guests.
The Paramount Hotel
Rooms are clean and spacious with modern updates, but construction noise happens early mornings and is loud enough to wake you. Staff are helpful and the downtown location works well for walking around. One elevator usually works, and you'll get coffee from the lobby, not your room.
Silver Cloud Hotel - Seattle Stadium
Clean rooms with comfortable beds and nice views of the ocean and stadiums, but valet parking costs $48-60 daily and staff won't tell you about cheap street parking nearby. Some rooms sit next to noisy equipment, and the valet has damaged cars without proper resolution.
Thompson Seattle, by Hyatt
Staff here treat guests like family and handle requests without hesitation. Rooms are spacious, clean, and modern with stunning water views available. The location puts Pike Place Market and restaurants within walking distance, and the rooftop bar and downstairs restaurant are solid.
Hotel Five - A Staypineapple Hotel
The beds are soft and high quality, rooms feel clean and spacious, and the location puts you walking distance from Pike Place Market and the light rail. Staff members are genuinely friendly and helpful. Watch out for resort fees and parking costs that can exceed your room rate.
Seattle Marriott Waterfront
Staff and location impress most guests, but rooms are hit or miss. Some sleep fine in quiet rooms while others get elevator noise or loud AC units. Expect to pay premium prices with pricey parking and breakfast, and the gym needs work.
AC Hotel Seattle Downtown
Staff consistently goes above and beyond with restaurant recommendations and personal touches like lavender turndown service and shower steamers. Rooms are clean and comfortable with modern, simple decor. The location sits close to downtown Seattle but lacks scenic views.
Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA
This hotel has excellent views and a great downtown location within walking distance of attractions. Rooms are spacious with high-end bathrooms featuring bidets, but you'll get cable TV not smart TV and the AC/heater can be loud at night. Cleanliness and plumbing issues vary by stay, though staff responds quickly to problems.
Crowne Plaza Seattle-Downtown by IHG
Staff here go out of their way to help you. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, though not fancy. The location near Pike Place Market beats most competitors in Seattle.
Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union
Housekeeping misses dirty rooms and leftover trash. Beds are comfortable but mattresses run hard. Cheap towels and toilet paper disappoint for a Marriott. Location and cleanliness are solid when staff pays attention.
The Westin Seattle
Rooms are outdated with peeling wallpaper, burn marks, and worn furniture. Elevators break down frequently and move slowly. Staff is helpful, but the location near the convention center is the main draw for the premium price.
Hilton Motif Seattle
The hotel sits in the heart of Seattle with easy walks to Pike Place Market and the Space Needle. Rooms are clean and modern with comfortable beds, though some guests had issues with soft mattresses, weak water pressure, and broken thermostats. Key card malfunctions and inconsistent front desk service frustrated some visitors, but many praised the staff and stylish atmosphere.
Level Seattle - South Lake Union
Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and great views, but expect noise from neighbors and loud bathroom fans. Hidden costs pile up fast: parking runs $58 daily, third-party bookings add fees, and some structural issues like slow drains and cracked ceilings appear. Staff go out of their way to help, and amenities like pools and gym are top-notch.
Astra Hotel, Seattle, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Rooms are clean with comfortable beds and good views, but some are tiny with cramped bathrooms. Staff quality varies wildly from helpful to dismissive. Breakfast pricing is steep and inconsistent.
1 Hotel Seattle
The rooms are well decorated with nice touches like big bathtubs and stocked bars. Staff are friendly and helpful, though check-in can have long waits. One guest found hair on the bathroom floor, but most praise the cleanliness and eco-friendly approach. Location works well for walking around Seattle.
Hyatt Place Seattle/Downtown
Spacious rooms with comfy beds and quiet atmosphere, though bathrooms feel cramped. Staff treats you well, but the hotel charges a surprise $45 parking fee and sometimes has lobby odor problems. Skip breakfast if the smell bothers you.
The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill
Small hot rooms with thin walls let you hear neighbors clearly. No elevator across six floors. Location puts you next to loud bars and nightclubs, so expect noise at night. Clean and affordable for solo travelers willing to sacrifice comfort and privacy.
Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle-Downtown
Good location near Seattle Center and Space Needle with clean, spacious rooms and friendly front desk staff, but expect maintenance issues like loose bathroom fixtures and slow drains, plus an uncomfortably firm bed and tight parking garage.
Hilton Garden Inn Seattle Downtown
Clean, spacious rooms with good comfort, but the HVAC system runs loud enough to disrupt sleep. Downtown location brings noise and crowds. Parking costs are high, though the secure garage is convenient. Staff and service are consistently attentive.
Moxy Seattle Downtown
Rooms are small but clean with comfortable beds and great rainfall showers. Staff quality varies wildly—most are friendly and helpful, but some enforce strict policies rigidly and lack warmth. The lobby compensates with good vibes, games, and a bar, making it the real social hub of the hotel.
Holiday Inn Seattle Downtown - Lake Union by IHG
The hotel sits in a great location near the Space Needle, but major construction creates noise, chemical smells, and disrupted service. Rooms are clean and comfortable when renovated, but bathrooms are tiny. Front desk staff are inconsistent, and parking costs $35 daily.
Warwick Seattle
Staff excellence saves this hotel from infrastructure problems. Rooms are clean and decent with good views, but expect potential hot water outages, breakfast disappointments, and occasional elevator or maintenance issues. Location near attractions and cheap parking make it worth it if staff can fix your problems quickly.
Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle By The Space Needle
Rooms are clean and comfortable with good beds, but the building feels dated. The location near the Space Needle is excellent. Parking costs $25 nightly and isn't disclosed upfront, which surprises guests. Staff can be accusatory about noise complaints and lack accountability when guests dispute them.
