Top South Lake Union Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Makes for a nice stay on layover"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Seattle Center

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the hotel was convenient in walking distance tothe Space Neeedle and Pike Place Market. The breakfast was good though the seating space were limited. There were multiple cruises leaving so it seemed like the place was packed. But overall the view of the Space Needle from our room, the bed, and staff helped for a pleasant stay."

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated how clean my room was and the convenience of the kitchenette. Location was excellent with a bus stop right in front, and walking distance from the light rail train station (direct line from the airport which is 45mins and 3$). They also organized a shuttle for the cruise terminal for me so I didn’t need to figure that out, takes 15-20 minutes for 10$. Close to a lot of attractions."

Hyatt House Seattle/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We were chatting with other travelers on the bus to the ship and it was clear when comparing experiences that this hotel is the best in town hands down- and it’s not even close. Food was outstanding, it was super quiet at bed time for good sound rest, the workout room had excellent equipment and fitting decals on the walls as well as a FANTASTIC location and Space needle views. Honestly if you’re heading into Seattle this is the spot."
