Top Woodland Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Best comforters ever! Refrigerator easily fit sandwichs, fruits, etc. Small market across the street was very convenient. Cafe in lobby makes excellent specialty coffee. There is a room called GYM but only has treadmill, bike and elliptical machine. Standard free weights but barely room. Overlooks Cafe so kind of awkward to work out"

"Great as always"

Marco Polo Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the cutest hotel. It has been in business for 35 years. It offers something the new hotels don't. The staff messaged me to check when I would arrive. I was welcomed when I arrived and checked in quickly. This hotel is about six miles from king street amtrak station via Uber. There are also two bus routes that will put yoh very close. My room had two double beds ans a twin. They were comfortable. You will hear road noise as the road is busy. But I was able to sleep with no issues. Large TV but only minimal channels which was fine for me. Large fridge with freezer. Microwave and coffee maker. Shower was interesting. It was square size. I loved it actually. Water was hot and good pressure. Thermostat on wall for heat and window air conditioner should you need that. Seats on balcony outside should you wish to sit and relax. Beds were very well made and loved the cylinder pillows. Would stay again."

Staypineapple, University Inn, University District Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great. Staff was great. Very kind, friendly, and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Perfect for my solo trip! Definitely will rebook in the future!"

Pingu's sweet suite - Micro Studio - 91Walkscore

"We loved the cute shower curtain!"

City Haven III: Blocks to Zoo, Groceries, Downtown Bus with Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and very modern looking and was stocked with everything we needed. Communication was great with the host and we enjoyed everything. I will say the beds are quite hard and I would invest in a bit heavier duty mattresses but other than that, I give it 5 stars for everything else!"

Lower Suite: a classic suite in a quiet Seattle home

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay here! The house itself is gorgeous, packed with beautiful architectural details and thoughtful, lovely decor that makes it feel so welcoming. Our standout detail was the subtle peacock theme. It added charming, unique character without feeling over-the-top.The location couldn't be better. It's set in a beautiful, wonderfully walkable neighborhood where we could easily stroll to nearby markets, coffee shops, and local attractions like the Zoo and the rose garden. Everything inside was well-equipped with all the comforts of home, making our whole trip smooth and completely relaxing. We would absolutely love to come back!"
