Top Columbia City Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and excellent staff."

The Arctic Club Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great trip to Seattle, hotel was clean, breakfast was included. Had a nice workout room. Staff was very nice and helpful. Only complaint was the surrounding area. Hotel sits on the bus line and there are a lot of homeless people around the hotel. No big deal but during our week there we had a couple different shots fired notifications in the area by our Life360. We did not feel unsafe as we were not out walking around late."

Executive Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The bed was comfortable, and the shower was great. The street noise was loud at night. There was no front desk staff to help us when we had a late flight and arrived for check-in. The QR code they gave me was supposed to get us in, but it didn't work; thankfully, there was another guest inside who could let us in. It was close to lots of great food and spots around downtown."

Hotel Sorrento

10/10 Excellent

"Location was wonderful. Hotel was lovely and the room was very clean and enormous! Bathroom was a bit dated and could use an update but overall it was a charming hotel filled with tons of character. Front desk staff was fabulous at helping me find great walkable restaurants! Wedding venue was gorgeous and the views from the terrace were amazing. Would stay here again!"
