Top Ballard Hotel Reviews

Staypineapple, Hotel FIVE, Downtown Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough about our experience at the Staypineapple, Hotel Five. Initially, I was hesitant to book after reading some of the reviews, but ultimately our stay could not have been more perfect! The hotel is centrally located to all major attractions and a short walk to Pike Market. Lots of food options nearby if you happen to get stuck in the hotel due to the weather (our luck one day of our trip). The hotel provides a high level of security and my family and I felt safe our entire stay. Biggest highlight if you're traveling as a family, they have a big play room with board games, video games and a wall-sized Scrabble board (which became our night cap ritual every night). Thank you to all of the wonderful staff for the exceptional professionalism. "

The Belltown Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a nice, more affordable option near a lot of restaurants, bars, and attractions. Some nights there can be a bit of noise outside, and sometimes neighboring hotel stayers can be loud as well. Overall rooms are clean and well kept with reliable service. A good option if you're spending most of your time out and about during a visit."

Coast Gateway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Above all the staff is amazing! The room is clean and comfortable. The rooms are very quiet considering they are practically on the runway. It's close to everything. I booked the room for my nephew, and the staff was very accommodating with the arrangement by waiving the deposit because he didn't have a credit card; and they were unable to take mine over the phone. This is why I will keep choosing them for flights out of SeaTac. They are absolutely the best. Thank you, Coast Gateway! "
