Top South Lake Union Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Seattle Downtown

8/10 Good

"Besides the fire alarm system going off in the middle of the night. My stay was excellent"

Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union

10/10 Excellent

"It is a bit of an older hotel, but the rooms are nice and kept well, the water view of lake Union is great as well. My friends and I like the 2 bedroom suite since there’s a kitchen/hang out spot and a balcony, but I’d avoid having an adult have to sleep on the pull out couch as the mattress is basically useless. The single rooms are nice also, Free breakfast in the mornings is a plus and there’s quite a few good restaurants within walking distance, it’s also a pretty quiet area of Seattle so walking around the area is quite nice when the weather permits. The stadiums are only like a 10min uber away so basically everything you’d wanna do in Seattle is within that distance as well"
