"Nice"

Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location to University or to the Link if you want to venture out further. Very clean, great amenities."

Staybridge Suites Seattle - Fremont by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, fantastic amenities, super breakfast with a really good spread, location was central! Spacious room with kitchenette and full size fridge! Wonderful!!!"

Ballard's sweet suites

8/10 Good

"Very friendly and well communicative staff."

Hotel Ballard

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the convenient location to downtown Ballard. Lots of places to eat and walk to. We did have a car and utilized the parking garage. It the parking garage was better lit that would have been ideal. The lights are motion sensitive but it is pitch dark in the garage until you are literally already in the spot that you need lighting for. Had I been traveling by myself as a single woman I would have been very hesitant to use the garage for safety reasons."

Luke's Jedi Meditation Chamber

10/10 Excellent

"Small room, but had everything i needed. Short walk to Fremont or the main drag of Queen Ann. I was surprised by the additional cleaning fee of $47, but still cheaper than a regular hotel."
