Top Lake McDonald Hotel Reviews

LivAway Suites Seattle-Renton

10/10 Excellent

"super clean and nice"

Hilton Garden Inn Seattle Issaquah

10/10 Excellent

"Nice king one bedroom suite -- appreciated the 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies! Stayed 3 nights for family funeral :/ Nice location near miles of strip mall type commerce, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, a Target, etc. Decent walk/run/bike boardwalk style trails from hotel. Mountain trails and parks nearby, too. The Kitchen & Bar at the Hilton Garden Inn was great ! Open until 10pm. Had our group there for an excellent dinner (Front desk didn't pass on the reservation details so we were scrambling for a large table but it worked out OK). Could hear other voices in nearby rooms and the street noise. Workout room was small but efficient. Didn't use pool. Room was pricey but worked great for our purposes."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Seattle Issaquah

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet. I appreciated that I was able to adjust the thermostat down to 65 and also that they provide a light blanket instead of only a hot down comforter. I will say that if you have a child sleeping on the trundle bed, the mattress is flimsy and there was only a little throw blanket for warmth. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was better than the average continental breakfast and the coffee was good with real half and half provided. I would definitely stay here again."

"House was clean and beautiful. I personally love the mid-century modern look of the house. You could see the house has been well cared for through the years. Hosts were excellent. If I had a question, they responded immediately. The lake view was amazing. We miss waking up to that view every morning. Highly recommend staying there!"
