Top Lake Union Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel. Close to the Westlake station to take the link or monorail and a short walk to Pike Market. The staff was fantastic and super friendly. The spruce has really good food too!"

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Easy to check in and out, even late at night!"

Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable room."

Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Reasons for all the stars: It's a charming, old, pre-war hotel with lots of period features, so this was welcome, and I always greatly value an excellent room service menu from an onsite restaurant, which this place surely has. Downsides: The place could use a face lift, especially in the rooms, which are a bit musty and carpets rather worn, and it could also more front desk help to lessen check-in wait times. That said, I found the place charming and was very pleased with the two wonderful late-evening room-service dinners I had. For me, that's always a relief."

Astra Hotel, Seattle, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Hampton Inn & Suites Seattle-Downtown

"Room was great and spacious. Location was very nice and just opposite the Lake Union. Parking was good and we were allowed to keep the car even after checkout. Made to order breakfast was good and they had multiple options."

Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union

10/10 Excellent
