Top Lake Union Hotel Reviews

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a gem. It’s perfect for the low-maintenance traveler that just wants a clean room and a friendly staff. I didn’t use the roof deck or the free bikes but it was nice to know they were there if I wanted. The reviews about the homeless population are overblown and likely from people who haven’t been in bigger cities before or who just have a dim view of their fellow humans. Check yourself. Grab a bus pass and live a little. This will be my go-to in Seattle from now on. Great location. Great staff. Clean room. If you need more than that from a reasonably priced hotel, stay at home in Peoria."

Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, as was the rest of the property. You could easily tell they were always cleaning, it smelled fresh at all times. There was coffee available 24/7 in the lobby and some lemon water as well. There was a nice view of the space needle from the front of the hotel. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Very safe area."

Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union

10/10 Excellent

"It is a bit of an older hotel, but the rooms are nice and kept well, the water view of lake Union is great as well. My friends and I like the 2 bedroom suite since there’s a kitchen/hang out spot and a balcony, but I’d avoid having an adult have to sleep on the pull out couch as the mattress is basically useless. The single rooms are nice also, Free breakfast in the mornings is a plus and there’s quite a few good restaurants within walking distance, it’s also a pretty quiet area of Seattle so walking around the area is quite nice when the weather permits. The stadiums are only like a 10min uber away so basically everything you’d wanna do in Seattle is within that distance as well"
