The Belltown Inn

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I'm in Seattle! It is in easy walking distance to the Space Needle and surrounding museums and parks, or Pike Market. There are several excellent restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. Staff is friendly and helpful and the property is clean. They offer loaner bikes to guests who may wish to bike around the vicinity, or public transportation is available at the two stops just the other side of the street. The view from the roof area is a must! I highly recommend the Belltown Inn if you're planning on visiting Seattle!"
