Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Centrally located, walk to farmers market/ pikes place about 25 min walk. Rooms like a downtown hotel, small but very clean. Was happy with price and quarters, felt I got my monies worth. We took a uber from the hotel to the space needle, about 25 minutes. We took the monorail next to the space needle to the farmers market, about 15 minutes and finally we took a nearby train to the airport, about 40 minutes. Train cost $3 per person. Fun day"

Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center

8/10 Good

"Good location. The staff was friendly and helpful."

Element by Marriott Seattle Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience staying at the Element by Marriott in Seattle! The hotel is fairly new, modern, and in a fantastic location. So much of downtown Seattle is within walking distance, which makes it a great place to stay if you're looking to explore the city. I was in town for a training, and I didn't get to enjoy the city as much as I would have liked. I'm already hoping to come back for a fun getaway, and I would absolutely consider staying here again! One thing I really appreciated was the on-site parking! At $30 a day, that's honestly a great deal for Seattle. Breakfast was also delicious, with plenty of options. As for the staff, the front desk team was okay. They weren't particularly engaging, but it didn't negatively impact our stay. I do want to give a special shoutout to the bar staff, who were incredibly friendly and accommodating! The breakfast staff and housekeepers were also wonderful and deserve recognition for their hospitality. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! Between the convenient location, reasonable parking, great breakfast, and wonderful staff in several areas of the hotel, this is definitely a place we'd love to return to. We look forward to staying here again when we have more time to enjoy Seattle!"
