Top Woodland Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Ballard's sweet suites

10/10 Excellent

"To be completely Honest my wife and I were extremely pleased to find the Ballard Sweet Suites. This is the kind of place that deserves a Five Star review. I would love to give a Better review than that, but we are trying to keep this place a Secret."

Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. We are still taking about the comfort of the bed and blankets. Best night's sleep!"

Marco Polo Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I really liked my room. It was very clean and had a retro vibe. The water pressure was very good in the shower and the bed was comfortable. Coffee maker, microwave, fridge, all worked. Parking was easy and free. I would stay here again."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Met my brother and his wife here who were visiting from England. Nice tidy comfortable home Well fitted. Great suggestions from host on places to eat and excellent ready made meals from local grocery store. Easy public transportation to downtown. 3 each way on public buses. Google maps helped us walking around various districts. Beautiful sunny days. We were able yo visit most places on our list. For the rest, we will have to return."

Boutique Chic Garden Retreat a Fremont Oasis w/ a BBQ, fire pit & outdoor dining

10/10 Excellent

"This house was the perfect location to everything we needed. I highly recommend going to Highland Coffee and Seattle Biscuit Company just two minutes from the house. We loved everything about our brief visit to Seattle!"

Pingu's sweet suite - Micro Studio - 91Walkscore

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the cute shower curtain!"

Charming Green Lake Craftsman – Hot Tub, AC, Dog Friendly, Walk to Lake & C...

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first Vrbo experience and it was a great one! The home was cozy, clean, and stocked with all the things you could think of needing. We stayed with our baby and the provided pack and play was so convenient! Our older little kids loved having their own space downstairs to feel independent and play games provided by the host. Not our situation but would be a great space for 2 smaller sized families given there’s backyard access from upstairs and basement as well as a kitchen (!!!) and bathroom on each level. The house isn’t open concept which means there’s plenty of doors you can shut to create spaces for privacy or to keep littles contained in certain zones which was a big win for us. Easy to get to and lots to do in the neighborhood."

Chase's sweet suite - Micro Studio - 91Walkscore

10/10 Excellent

"My stay went well. The room was clean. I had a small issue with the lock batteries to my door being dead when I first arrived, after sending a couple of messages in 30 minutes trying to get the issue resolved with no response, I called and was immediately helped. After that, I felt as though someone was there if needed. I was very happy with everything about my stay, the accommodations was a great fit for what I was in town for."

Isla's sweet suite - Micro Studio - 91Walkscore

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay in Isla’s suite! Vince was super accommodating, helpful, and even recommended local spots for us to check out. Would totally rebook next time I visit the Ballard area. The suite itself was perfect for me and my partner, it had all the things we needed and made our trip to Seattle go smoothly. As far as location, Ballard is a super accessible and nice area! We ended up using public transportation throughout the entire trip and the nearest bus stop left us about a block away from the suites. Overall, we were about a 30ish minute bus ride from the downtown area & 1hr 30min from SeaTac airport."
