Top Seattle Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Seattle Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in staff was helpful. Room was clean and the location is downtown near plenty of shops and restaurants. Microwave was only available on one floor. Ice was only available on 3 floors. Breakfast buffet was $34 plus 20% add on fee and 10.5% tax. Our breakfast for two was $85. Gymnasium was adequate but leg machine was broken. Bar was nice with helpful bartenders just expensive."

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very centrally located. Especially when taking the bus from Vancouver, BC and getting off at the Convention Centre. Room temperature was cold and I didn’t want to start fiddling with the thermostat. Bearable though. Things that need improving: soft towels (like sandpaper) and 2 ply toilet paper. I don’t think the hotel saves any money by using the cheap stuff since more of it has to be used."

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC

2/10 Terrible

"Don't stay here! There are other better places near the airport. This motel houses homeless people. It allows weed smoking and cigarette smoking throughout the motel. Dogs are everywhere barking and the whole place smells. We heard airplanes all night. The carpet is very dirty and our sheets were dirty and stained. Also stained towels and a filthy mini fridge. We are lucky we didn't get bed BUGS. Don't stay here!!!!"
