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?

To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Top Matthews Beach Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"Nice please to stay"

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"The location is excellent. It's a unique older building totally updated inside. Be prepared for stairs up to your room. The staff is nice and very willing to assist. The room was small but had everything we needed. I wish we had more of a window/view since we were on the 5th floor. There is water on each floor hallway to drink which is nice, and they have lockers to store luggage if needed. Overall it was an easy stay and a great experience, especially for the price. Thank you for being a great host!"

Hotel Max

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very pleasant stay here at the Hotel Max. The location is great, super close to pikes place, just around the corner from the rail to see the Space Needle. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Seemed like everyone was genuinely happy to work there. The room was good, had everything I needed. I found it interesting the shower was in its own little almost closet? Haha a quirk for sure."
