Fairmont Olympic Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were super nice and the location was perfect. Big, clean room!"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the Crown Plaza the night before boarding a cruise ship to Alaska. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Seattle which makes it walkable to many attractions. Eric at the front desk was very kind and helpful at check in. The elevator system is high tech and took a little time to get use to, but we figured it out. Parking fee is high but expected in a City with little to no parking. The view from our room was amazing- we enjoyed our stay."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

6/10 Okay

"Location easy to get to from SEA airport and attractions. Hotel is under construction! No noise but a little congested when you exit the lobby. Room was clean & comfortable. Good drink & snack selection in the Lobby, water fill station is great. The restaurant is incredibly slow. In fact, no one greeted us and I waited with my Son for over 10 minutes at our table. No one even gave us menus or offered beverages. The 3 servers were working the bar and the floor and bussing tables. I approached the Bar and asked how we could order some breakfast. I was told, “someone will be there”. No one ever came. It was our last day & was hoping ro have a convenient breakfast. We left after a 15+ minute wait. We found a fantastic Cafe down the block! Highly recommend Freya Bakery Cafe!!! It’s a close walk from the Hotel."
