Independent Puget Sound hotels

"Comfortable, very clean room. Safe location. Decent price."

"Nice"

"The Arctic Club is a living piece of Seattle’s history and a stunning example of Beaux-Arts architecture. The building’s signature walrus heads that crown the exterior are wonderfully detailed and ornate. Our room faced Cherry Street on the fifth floor—reportedly haunted due to the tragic suicide of Congressman Marion Zioncheck, who fell to his death there in 1936. The room itself was spotless, cozy, and comfortable, complete with a minibar (which we didn’t indulge in). It even overlooked the spot where he was said to have been found. I didn’t sense any lingering spirits, though—it felt peaceful. The Dome Room provided the perfect setting for a Candlelight Quartet performing Halloween classics. You can even order drinks and snacks during the show, which was a nice bonus. Fun fact: scenes from the Stephen King miniseries Rose Red (2002) were filmed there! After the performance, we had dinner in the bar and lounge. I enjoyed a delicious crispy Brussels sprouts and shishito pepper appetizer, while my husband ordered a Caesar salad—good, though a bit simple. I paired my meal with a glass of Noughty sparkling wine, and my husband had a cocktail. Sitting there, I could easily imagine gentlemen of the early 1900s gathered in their top hats, smoking cigars, and sipping brandy. It was such a cool experience—I can’t wait to go back!"

"Our room was very clean. Check in process was super easy. Will definitely stay here again!"

"The room was beautiful, as always. The breakfast at George was delicious, great service as well. I was confused as to why the bar situation changed this visit. I went down to get a drink to bring up to our room on Saturday night and we had to wait in a line and couldn't just stand around the bar and order a drink. I hadn't experienced that during my last visit there and I decided to just get a drink at Shucker's instead. "

"This was my 3rd time staying at the Paramount, just as lovely as my other stays. "

"The check in / check out process is a breeze! "

"Everyone made me feel welcomed and accommodated my needs perfectly! "

"Charming spot on the heart of downtown"
