When is the best time to go to Matthews Beach?

The best time to go to Matthews Beach is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its finest. During June, July, and August, you can expect warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C. This period is great for enjoying the outdoor activities Matthews Beach is known for, such as swimming in Lake Washington, picnicking at Matthews Beach Park, or cycling along the Burke-Gilman Trail. The long daylight hours also allow for extended enjoyment of the natural surroundings. For those who prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) are also good options. While temperatures might be a little cooler, averaging around 15°C to 20°C, the crowds are smaller, and you can still comfortably enjoy the park and lakeside activities.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Matthews Beach hotel for you.

Top Matthews Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"Soap from previous guest left in shower. The pillows are very thin, used all 4 to sleep."

citizenM Seattle Pioneer Square

8/10 Good

"The location was great, and overall, it was an awesome place to stay. The only downsides were the parking and the room size. There is no free parking available, so you will either need to pay about $60 per day or try to find street parking, which is limited to two hours at a time. The rooms are also a little tight, but they were still comfortable. Other than those two things, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place because of its excellent location."
