Top Ballard Hotel Reviews

Warwick Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice! Great time!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"First of all, we were very pleased with their ability to accommodate us for an early check-in when we arrived at 8:30 am. We were afraid we'd have to carry our luggage around all day waiting for thr 3:00 standard check-in. The staff was amazing in helping us navigate the city from airport to downtown, walking, shuttle, rail. The breakfast was delicious and available for a good amount of time. We will definitely be looking for Country Inn and Suites in future travels."

Executive Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The property is in a great location downtown. It is only a short distance from the harbor and right next to the public library. Their elevator was below 5 steps of stair. However, the staff were helpful to help us carry it down the steps. It also has a private room to keep our luggage after checkout, which is a nice feature. If you are a sensitive sleepers or have children, the room was very noisy due to the traffic. There is a small refrigerator but no microwave."
