Top South Seattle Hotel Reviews

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very pleasant and willing to assist. The room was very clean and roomy. The shuttle to the pier for our cruise was very convenient. We'd stay here again."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North

8/10 Good

"We arrived late on a Sunday night and the staff was polite and easy to work with to check in. Our room was clean and tidy. The decor is dated but that didn't matter to us since we were only sleeping at the hotel and spending the rest of our time in Seattle's downtown. The proximity to the link lightrail was awesome, just a few minutes walk. They offer an airport shuttle but its close enough yo walk as well. We would stay there again."

Executive Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Executive Hotel Pacific delivers a solid, hassle-free stay with top-notch comfort and unbeatable convenience. The rooms are spotlessly clean from top to bottom, featuring amazingly comfortable beds that guarantee a great night's sleep. Positioned in a prime location, it sits within easy walking distance of major local attractions, fantastic dining, and public transit. What truly elevates the experience is the helpful, friendly staff—check-in is a breeze, and the front desk team eagerly goes out of their way to provide excellent local recommendations and handle any quick requests. It offers incredible overall value, making it an easy choice to book again without hesitation."

Hotel Sorrento

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Not many around like this one. Very friendly staff. Beautiful bar. I half expected Humphrey Bogart to walk in! The dining room looked great but we didnt dine there The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. It was a 30 minute walk to the stadium where we had tickets to an event."

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This hotel is within walking distance to the Seattle airport. Check-in was pleasant, although they were unable to provide a printed copy of my room charges upon check-out as ‘ I didn’t have any additional hotel charges and I had paid in advance’. Strange reasoning to me but whatever. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds and coffee services. The hotel doesn’t provide water in the room or room service but one can go to the lobby bar and pick up food. The burger and fries were good."
