Top Downtown Seattle Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Eric your security officer is amazing and really made our experience special. Thanks, Brandon"

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here while on vacation, this was my second time staying at Mediterranean Inn. I love this place. From the views on the rooftop deck to the service of wonderful staff, this place has it all. Perfect location close to Seattle Center and the Monorail to downtown, great service from friendly and helpful staff, fresh fruit-infused water and coffee at the self-service bar inside the lobby. I even got a free bottle of sparkling wine with my stay! 10/10 will stay here again. "

Staypineapple, The Maxwell Hotel, Seattle Center Seattle

8/10 Good

"Property was excellent. I reserved it at only $117 for the night. When I checked out, I got an email receipt for $173. Seattle has ridiculous high taxes on everything, but $29.95 of this was a so-called guest amenities fee. What the hell is a guest amenities fee?? We did not get any amenities or do anything special or even call them for anything. This is a little ridiculous, especially since it's mentioned nowhere on the Expedia site. I would have gotten the hotel that was a lot closer to our venue had I known the price was going to be basically the same. Seems a little bait and switch to me."
