Top Lake Union Hotel Reviews

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable , we ate dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and were very pleased with our meals . I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in Seattle"

citizenM Seattle South Lake Union

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a fun hotel, I love everything about it! From the lighting in the rooms, the blackout auto shades, the efficient use of space - 6 stars!"

The Belltown Inn

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay for cruises leaving from pier 66. Just know that cruisers have caught on to this place and check-in lines can be long. But worth it. They also have a system where they tell you they will text you when your room is ready. I would go back and check with them once in a while because I watched several people go double check ( including myself) and their room was actually ready. Did not receive a text."

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and good location for downtown Seattle."

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the location! Everything from shopping to food was easily reached by walking. Clean comfortable rooms."

MOXY Seattle Downtown
