Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle By The Space Needle

4/10 Poor

"As a person who travels on a tight budget l am aware of the risks of the low cost hotel. Travelodge usually is a safe bet. This hotel is VERY dirty, dust on hair dryer, candy wrapers under the beds, general grime and stinky... Sheets and towels were clean however. I was afaid of bed bugs because of other reviews but saw no sgins. The staff was really nice and took care of us and despite the filth I felt safe with my family. Location is great easy walking! "

Level Seattle Downtown - South Lake Union

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing facilities, 24 hour access to pool and hot tub was the best. Rooms are the best in seatttle! As a person who has stayed in at least 20 different hotels in Seattle this one is by far hands down the best choice for anyone. I will only be staying here from now on!"

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here while on vacation, this was my second time staying at Mediterranean Inn. I love this place. From the views on the rooftop deck to the service of wonderful staff, this place has it all. Perfect location close to Seattle Center and the Monorail to downtown, great service from friendly and helpful staff, fresh fruit-infused water and coffee at the self-service bar inside the lobby. I even got a free bottle of sparkling wine with my stay! 10/10 will stay here again. "
