Top Ballard Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Their professionalism made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. The only downside was that the room was missing a few basic amenities. There were no complimentary bottles of drinking water, and there was no body wash provided in the shower. These are small details, but they make a difference in a guest’s experience. Overall, we had a pleasant stay thanks to the wonderful staff, and I hope the hotel considers improving these room amenities"

citizenM Seattle Pioneer Square

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and modern, small room but perfect for a quick couple of nights. Staff was friendly and helpful but not overbearing. The ironing room was a nice surprised and helped us out in a pinch while getting ready for a wedding. Location was fantastic, walkable distance to great coffee shops, book stores and restaurants. Would stay here again for sure."
