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.

How much is the nightly rate at a Matthews Beach hotel?

Top Matthews Beach Hotel Reviews

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente !!"

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place!! It was perfect for walking around town and super close to all public transportation!! I had the lounge access, which was nice to go get breakfast in the mornings or stop by to grab a water before I headed out!! Staff was super friendly! I was on a solo trip and felt comfortable/safe! Definitely will be returning to stay on my next trip back! The view from my room was also beautiful!!"

Renaissance Seattle Hotel

8/10 Good

"The fridge in the room did not work, the lock on the door kept getting stuck and it was hard to close the door. The smell in the hotel of perfume was very overwhelming and needs to be toned down. If you have a room for two people and nobody cleaning rooms, give us more coffee, not just for one day. The rooms were nice, but expecting two queen beds, not two full beds. Everything was in walking distance, so that was nice and rooms were clean."
