Top Green Lake Hotel Reviews

Columbus Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Other than when there’s a major event in the city, this motel on Aurora is a great value and the owners keep it clean and relatively calm. That part of Aurora is known for lots of stuff that most guests would not like, but management does a good job of screening those folks out for the most part. I’ve stayed there many times and I’ll stay there whenever the occasion comes up."

Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District

8/10 Good

"Good location close to UW and right in the heart of U Distrct. The breakfast isn’t much to speak of but the staff is good."

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."

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."

Peaceful 1-bedroom apartment with AC in vibrant Seattle UW district

8/10 Good

"Very close to UW. It’s a no frills place, with no tv (fine with me), and the bed was very comfy."

Crown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"They provided me with all my requests."

Gorgeous Huge 6-8BR Heart of Seattle—One Block from Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Location to green lake can’t get much better. Trung, our host, was lovely and responsive to our questions. The neighbor’s friendly goldendoodle is a super ambassador and gave us a warm welcome. The house has plenty of space for privacy yet feels intimate for gatherings and has plenty of seating for conversations and group meals.Seattle’s recycling is a bit cumbersome but once you get the hang of it, it’s no problem. The house had adequate signage for ‘how to’ properly recycle.We rented the additional apartment for our party of 8 and always had hot showers."

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."

Refined Wallingford Craftsman • Perfect Family Retreat near Parks, Zoo & UW

10/10 Excellent

"This home is exquisite. It has old-world charm, modern amenities, attention to detail, and smart design/use of space. The location is super convenient to shops, restaurants and parks. Though it’s on a busy street, it felt like a peaceful oasis including quiet outdoor space in the back. Our host was very communicative, friendly, and helpful. All of our needs were taken care of - even those we didn’t anticipate. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!"
