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

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and good for a quick one night stay close to the airport."

Executive Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick, front desk man was kind and polite. Room was small but we only stayed one night so it was good for that. The location was great and it was mostly quiet at night. We had two issues. One, the TV was completely useless. It turned on but that’s about all it did. Couldn’t cast to it or anything either. Second, the AC was also completely useless. Luckily we went in fall but I like a cooler room at night and even with it set to the coldest temp all we got was fan. Our room stayed at least 10 degrees warmer than the hallway, if not more since we couldn’t open the window either. That made for a pretty uncomfortable night and I definitely didn’t feel rested."
