Top South Seattle Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and sweet hotel!"

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful place!! It was a perfect location to sightsee during the day and then go out in the evenings. You are close to everything or to public transportation to get there Staff was also friendly and helpful with any questions. I loved the extra touches, like the ear plugs by your bed and the tea selections.It was also great to be able to leave our luggage securely while we explored the city more after checkout, and before our flight . I would definitely stay again and recommend. I only rated a tad down in cleanliness cause we had one dirty pillowcase at check in but was able to get a fresh one so no biggy. And rest of bed was clean and comfy. Pillows are the euro pillow which were more square and slept well with them . Also liked the room design and shower placement. Really enjoyed our stay!"

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC

10/10 Excellent

"The Red Roof Inn SeaTac Hotel offered excellent value for the price and was a convenient place to stay. The airport shuttle service was especially helpful, providing a stress-free and reliable way to get to the airport without having to arrange a rideshare. Overall, the hotel was a practical and affordable choice and the staff were helpful"

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!"
