The Belltown Inn

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The room was smaller than expected. But the room and bathroom were very clean and well maintained. The whole hotel was well maintained. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Samson took the time to suggest and gave us a list of restaurants to try. And they were all great suggestion! The hotel is walking distance from most things. We had a great time in Seattle and Belltown Inn played a huge part in it."
