Top Old Ballard Hotel Reviews

Coast Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very accommodating staff Rooms were clean and well maintained"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our family of four. We especially appreciated the valet service, as they took extra care with our accessible van—it just barely fit in the underground parking, so having the valet team assist us gave us great peace of mind. The location was fantastic for our visit. We were in town for an MLB game, and the stadium was conveniently close by. We also enjoyed being able to walk around and explore Pike Place Market afterward. Overall, it was a comfortable and convenient stay, and the friendly valet service was an added bonus for our family."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"We needed a hotel near the airport..one with a free breakfast and shuttle to the airport.. this hotel did an excellent job of meeting all our needs.. the staff was very friendly and helpful…thank you for making our trip so welcoming…"

The Arctic Club Seattle

8/10 Good

"Excellent hotel in central Seattle, close to the rail link, market etc…. The room was very comfortable and well maintained. My only complaint is that our room was ‘part’ cleaned on two days .. the bathroom was cleaned but no toilet roll was replaced, the bed was unmade and clearly someone had been sitting / lying on it and watching tv. The hotel sorted the matter and our room was perfect for the rest of our stay. Good bar and food options, breakfast was excellent. The staff were very helpful."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

8/10 Good

"A great hotel to stay at when you want to be near Pike Market. Just a few minutes away from it. Friendly and kind staff who are willing to help at all times. The only downside was there was only 1 elevator working during my stay. It's not that I had to wait for long, but most of the time the elevator was a bit cramped. Overall, it was a great experience staying at this hotel. Would recommend."
