Top Central District Hotel Reviews

Hotel 116, A Coast Hotel Bellevue

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"great hotel. great location close to Pike Place, ferry terminal and other key spots in the downtown area. also close to a train station. great gym. overall all - highly recommended. parking is expensive in all downtown hotels, so pay attention to rates before booking."

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing find! It was a short 10 minute walk to the space needle. Nice area, superb staff, beautiful up to date rooms! We stayed one night before a cruise and will definitely stay again. They also have a rooftop lounge open until midnight. Cruise port shuttle service available and it was a breeze and cheaper than an Uber. I cannot state how impressed we were with our stay!"

citizenM Seattle Pioneer Square

10/10 Excellent

"we r Marriott owners so love their product & have stayed at this hotel brand multiple times in other cities. Love the minimalist aesthetic and clever use of an otherwise small room. Wasn't able to utilize the casting function from my android to the smart TV, but that was a minor inconvenience."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

10/10 Excellent

"pet-friendly room, and they know it's my partner's bday so they upgraded us to the highest floor. They didn't have to do that but they did. And they provided us with a list of recomended things to do and eat. Very helpful. The only this is the water bottle is not refreshed during the stay, but they have a nice water filling station next to the lobby. Great alternative to be green and didn cause any trouble at all."

Quality Inn SeaTac Airport-Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"We got in early the desk staff were so accommodating they stored our luggage. The shuttle crew was wonderful he took me to get our lunch order and by the time we had eaten our room was ready. It was a great stop after a week of cruising and then flying out the next day."
