Top Seattle Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the desk were consistently exceptionally helpful with all of our needs."

Hotel Max

8/10 Good

"Staff was nice The rooms were clean"

Hotel Sorrento

10/10 Excellent

"I was very pleased with the assistance given by staff. From the old school Seattle Times paper copy each day to check concerts and events in town to the pivotal assistance provided by the bellman at 5 am getting me a cab and assisting with my checking out as I madly dashed to my ride to the airport to catch an early plane. There is no doubt had the bellman not assisted me there is a chance I may have missed the flight which would not have been good news for me. Thank you to a stellar staff!!"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff very polite. The room was clean but I went to open the curtains there was a bunch of crumbs piled up underneath. I was not informed ahead of time of the 20% surcharge for possible damages to room. Would have been nice to given heads up ahead of time."

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel"

Executive Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"."

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The views from the rooftop patio were amazing. The staff was helpful arranging transportation to the port. Clean, comfortable room."

Palihotel Seattle

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is very eclectic and beautiful. The location was incredibly convenient right across the street from the Pike Place Market and one block from the light rail. Because of the location, there is quite a bit of street noise day and night. We had a last minute hotel through Expedia and the only room available was a room with bunk beds. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the linens are great quality. Unfortunately the room was not clean. It appeared to be very dusty, it felt like the room we stayed in was not occupied for some time because there was dust in everything from the coffee cups to the bathroom mirror. This was disappointing considering how expensive the room was. The girl staff was helpful and friendly and the lobby was inviting. I would stay at this hotel again if it were at a better rate than what we paid ($300). Overall it's a beautiful place at a great location. Our room was just overlooked I guess."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

10/10 Excellent

"los elevadores fuera de servicio fue un inconveniente únicamente."
