The rooms are perfect if you’re here to explore the city because they have just the necessities. The vibe of the entire place is great and the proximity to other attractions is perfect.

We had an incredible stay here. You can’t beat the location and the price. I felt this block was in a nicer portion of downtown. There weren’t people sleeping on the sidewalks outside and the light rail is only two blocks away. We also parked our car in a parking garage one block away for $30 a day. Would absolutely stay here again if we can get it for this great price again.

The front desk was great! The clerk was friendly and knew what she was doing! They had my mom authorize the stay and her debit card before we even got there so the check-in was perfect!

One of three Hyatt properties next to each other this hotel is smaller but cozy and friendly. Good restaurant, great spa with a pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and nail salon. Walking distance from the Pike Place Market and a block away from the Paramount Theater and the Seattle Convention Center. Great food options in the blocks surrounding the hotel. I'll be back.

After staying at the Times Square location, CitizenM SLU met the same high standard. The location is awesome, walkable to top spots like the Space Needle and close to tons of tech companies and great public transit. The rooms are compact but super functional, with smart controls and a huge, comfy bed. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Perfect for a smart, stylish, and stress-free stay as a solo traveler in Seattle.

This hotel was so sweet. The atmosphere is wonderful, the location was everything. The only downside is that it was a little loud at night, but it was too be expected and nothing that some earplugs couldn’t fix.

THIS PLACE IS A GEM!!
Don't let the dated exterior worry you; this hotel is immaculately clean and lovingly cared for. I confess that when we first pulled up I wondered for a moment what we'd gotten ourselves into, but from the moment we walked in to the lobby we were treated warmly and kindly, with a cheerful fireplace, treats on the counter, and a receptionist who was as thorough in her job as she was thoughtful and sweet. When we first opened the door to our room, my jaw dropped with...

I booked the room for my son traveling to an important first event. I called the hotel to confirm his reservation and started chatting with the friendly, professional, aimply amazing manager Khiana. After mentioning he was traveling for an exciting event in Seattle and I wish I could be there but I'm East Coast- she prepared a card and welcome gift and asked what message I'd like her to write. It's difficult to find the words to describe how much that meant to. One of the most extraordinary,...
