Top Lake Union Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a great place to stay centrally located to all things downtown Seattle and near the light rail and bus systems to get around the city without a car. Only complaint is the walls seem thin and noises from outside and our neighbors next door were kinda loud. Nothing some earplugs can’t solve."

Hotel Max

8/10 Good

"The room was comedically small and overpriced. With that said, it was very clean and comfy. I felt safe in the hotel and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The location was convenient. It was very “homey”. I dunno, I’d stay there again. 💙"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean with a beautiful view! Hotel felt super secure and the valet was a great amenity! Will definitely stay here again in the future! Breakfast at the hotel restaurant was also delicious and service was great!"

The Belltown Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well maintained for an older hotel. Roof top patio was beautiful and beds were comfortable. Location was great and easy to get around downtown and take bus to stadium. They have a night guard which is nice. It is downtown so you have a lot of homeless as to be expected for large city downtown core. Staff were all friendly and very helpful. I would stay again"

Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, near the space needle and tourist spots, clean, safe, good breakfast (not included) but I’d stay there again. Shuttle to port available!"

Staypineapple, The Maxwell Hotel, Seattle Center Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy to walk everywhere with a local feel in the Queen Annie area."

citizenM Seattle South Lake Union

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite hotel in downtown Seattle! It’s unique and hip. Beautiful art work on the walls, bar right in the middle of the lobby. Games to play. Clean rooms. Makes me feel like I’m in a space ship pod. Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great!"

Vintage Westlake Gem in outstanding location!

8/10 Good

"Overall, this is a very good value for a stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the apartment is spacious and has lots of light. It’s a quiet neighborhood and there greenery in the eastward facing kitchen, so mornings are especially nice. The cabinetry and fixtures preserve a nice mid-century style. The location provides easy access to all Seattle destinations. The bed is softer than what we prefer and the carpeting needs a deep clean or replacement, but, on the whole, this is a great stay for a couple, especially."
