- “Consider the other Homewood on Pike - while I wouldn't recommend walking back up the hill unless you want to burn plenty of calories, it's a pleasant stroll downhill to Pike Place and there are many restos & pubs within a few blocks further up Pike, with the bonus of a downhill walk home when you've eaten! There's enough of a height difference that the noise from I5 isn't very noticeable at all.” 19

- “Great breakfast, the room was clean and spacious.” 6
- “Embassy Suites: on the list because of their rave reviews on Tripadvisor, it looks like a nicer property for an ES, and the usual family fallback position of having more space/seperate living room area. Always nice to know everyone's breakfast is free.” 17
- “Motif has OK, restaurant was so so, like term46 said, and you get a free drink coupon as Diamond.” 14
- “You can also opt for oatmeal, fruit, donuts, and a variety of bread. There is also yogurt and fruit compote for that as well. Plenty of options, and overall a nice spread for a free breakfast.” 10

- “Suite had a proper living area with a sofa bed plus a separate bedroom for the family.” 4

- “Look at Seattle Center hotels - Mediterranean Inn (on Queen Anne, many restos, great roof deck), Hotel 5 (in-between center & downtown core; part of the Pineapple chain, very loud decor but good beds)” 8

- “Homewood is directly across from the Elliott Bay trail accessed by a pedestrian bridge which is really nice for strolls along the waterfront trail and then down to the aquarium.” 12
Location17 mentions
- “I could have used Hilton or IHG points, but considering that the Hyatt House has a great location and excellent value, and that I am trying to attain Globalist status this year, the Hyatt House Seattle Downtown made the most sense for us.” 10
- “Charter/Curio: leading my list right now. I like boutique-y properties, especially after what feels like years of mostly mid tier stays because of the kids. The location seems good as well.” 17
- “Located nearly a 5-minute walk from Argyle Street, the modern Homewood Suites By Hilton Halifax - Downtown hotel gives easy access to various tourist attractions.” 18
- “IMHO, unless you have your heart set on being in the downtown core, I actually think that this is a perfect location to be based out of for what you are wanting to see here.” 19
- “The location is amazing, and the hotel is one of the best in the brand that I have stayed at.” 10
- “Airport website here. We just stayed at the brand new Hyatt Regency downtown. Very nice hotel and rooms.” 8
- “Room was nice, walkable to almost everything (I'd take public transit or taxi/Uber to the stadiums).” 14
- “There are many, many threads here recommending hotels, but they also commonly report Seattle is not cheap downtown, particularly in summer season. We have stayed at the Hilton Downtown a couple of times. Pretty good location, walking distance to most sites.” 8
- “Also to add, it was only a few blocks from pikes market, which was a big reason I chose it. I spent the weekend in Seattle with no car and was able to do quite a lot with the tram and stuff within walking distance.” 14
- “However w want to eat yummy foods at night so need to be in safe area for night walking. It's safe enough but not the most convenient location - quite a hike from places like the Pike Place market, closer to Seattle Center, but an uphill walk.” 19
- “But since then we've stuck to Seattle center or downtown proper for hotels, as we like to walk around and it was a hassle to get to anywhere - only Pro was convenient access to a nearby wine store.” 19
- “Featuring a hot tub, spa therapy, and a shared lounge, the 3-star Homewood Suites- Denver Downtown Convention Center hotel enjoys a perfect setting 6 minutes' walk from the Denver Firefighters Museum.” 18
- “Hyatt House was not helpful trying to get a taxi. Our other family stayed at Homewood Suites on the other side of the Space Needle/Green and I liked their location better since it was closer to the places we all wanted to eat.” 6
- “I stayed there earlier this year and can confirm it's a great choice. Room was nice, walkable to almost everything (I'd take public transit or taxi/Uber to the stadiums).” 14
- “Almost 10 years ago we stayed at Hyatt PLACE Seattle Downtown. It was a very nice hotel with two beds, a couch and a decent amount of space. The location was walkable to food.” 6
- “The hotel was a 5 min walk to the station, with good food options around.” 14
- “Embassy Suites is the nicest of the three. It's in Pioneer Square which has an increased homeless presence in the area and about 1 mile walk to the Market.” 12
Bathroom7 mentions
- “The bathroom had excellent lighting and a large mirror.” 4
- “My wife loved it as well as the bathtub. She thought it was funny that the water dropped into the tub from the ceiling.” 14
- “I would say that the shower was one area that could use a refresh. That is not to say it was old or dirty, just a bit dated.” 14
- “The bath towels were big and thick, giving a luxurious feel.” 14
- “The bath towels were big and thick, giving a luxurious feel. There are Le Labo products in the bathroom. Having been to Paris this year, my wife is in love with everything Le Labo, and was very happy to see their products.” 14
- “The water pressure and shower head were great.” 14
- “I came back to find him like this when I decided to turn in our second night. Our bathroom at the Hyatt House Seattle Downtown was clean and very nice.” 10
Value4 mentions
- “The one turn-off is now the cost, as the Hyatt House Seattle Downtown is now just as much as the brand new Hyatt Regency in terms of points per night, after the recent devaluation.” 10
- “It was a nice clean room. Their restaurant was pretty meh and somewhat expensive.” 14
- “We stayed there last June and it was a nice hotel, especially for the price.” 6

Noise3 mentions

There were people waiting to board on the lower floors that couldn't always get on, and it took so long to go up and down (lines, and stopping at every floor) that we walked down from the fifth floor a couple times.” 10
- “The hotel is now my default when staying in Seattle given its proximity to the Seattle Center and all its attractions just across the street! .” 10
- “Consider the other Homewood on Pike - while I wouldn't recommend walking back up the hill unless you want to burn plenty of calories, it's a pleasant stroll downhill to Pike Place and there are many restos & pubs within a few blocks further up Pike, with the bonus of a downhill walk home when you've eaten!
