Fairmont Olympic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful, historic hotel! First we were greeted by an amazing valet, Victor, who was super friendly and helpful. Check-in was a breeze and room service attendant very thorough and also friendly and the meals were delicious. The room was gorgeous with a great view of downtown just as described and the bed was very comfy. Couldn’t be happier with our stay!"

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

8/10 Good

"Premium king room was nice and spacious. Bed was comfortable. Noise from hallway heard very clearly inside the room. Breakfast was basic but appreciated. Eggs, sausage, breads, yogurt, congee, coffee and milk."

The Edgewater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Waterfront location. The record player & vinyl available for guests. Beds are comfortable. On site bar & restaurant are solid. We had a water deck room & were disappointed that we were given a room looking at the cruise ship terminal and a cruise ship (with attendant noises & blocked view). Hotel was booked so they could not accommodate our request to be moved to another room. Be mindful if you pay for one of these rooms to request a room at 322 or higher to avoid this issue."
