This is one of my favorite hotels to stay in during a weekend great away to the city. The rooms are very nice and the beds are very comfortable, it is hard to get out of them in the morning. The views are unbelievable too. I have stayed here 3-4 times and every room I have had was spectacular. The staff is delightful too. We had a bachlorette party here one time and they went out of their way to get us anything that we needed. Great shopping and places to eat nearby. I will be coming back to this hotel for future stays.

My 70 year-old parents have made the Watertown their primary place to stay when they come from out of town to visit our family. While I think it's really classified as a "Business Hotel", it borders on "Boutique". The building is newly constructed with great modern touches. The rooms are well insulated (for sound) and super clean. My folks love the simple breakfast in the lounge - fresh fruit, cereals, etc.. and they offer wine in the evening. The staff bake chocolate chip cookies all afternoon. Free bikes are available as well - you're only two blocks from the Burke Gilman trail. It's definately the best hotel near the UW.
Overall, it's the amenities and little touches that add up at the Watertown. Well worth it.

Amy and I are in Seattle a few times a year. We stay at The W Hotel whenever we are here. The hotel is edgy and modern - typical W - and we like it a lot. The rooms are large and as you get above the 15th floor have incredible views (2002 is our favorite room.) The bar scene is usually hopping, the appetizers - especially the "Sexy Fries" are awesome, and the service is nice. There's a small workout room, but I usually just put on my running shoes and head down to the water and then take a right on Alaskan way - it's a nice long (> 4 miles) boardwalk that goes through a park at about mile 2. Finally, there's a Starbucks literally across the street so it's easy to bring my princess her vente latte first thing in the morning after I get back from my run.

My parents stayed here for 2 weeks after the birth of our daughter and they loved it. It was clean and quiet and served a breakfast including make your own waffles. There is also a smaller outdoor pool located on the premises and the Inn offers a free shuttle service to places like UVillage and downtown. If you are breakfast person, then all you have to do is walk a few steps to Portage Bay Cafe which serves fabulous breakfast and lunches. The prices seem to be reasonable for the location. (They also own and run Watertown which is another hotel a block up the street.)

What they have done, just with wood, in the lobby, creates something beautiful than most places many people will ever visit. The bathrooms are nice enough to make one's home -- though albeit not if their present use were to be maintained. Their tea room has ceilings that must be at least 18' and is a great place to have tea after surviving some extremely difficult time in one's life, because everything is so perfect and beautiful. This is the point at which most people's money may run out.... But go, just to verify that it's real.

We stayed overnight at the Edgewater on election night 2009. The room was impeccable and pristine clean. We had dinner there. We ordered from the set menu, $30 for a 3 course dinner. The food was excellent and beautifully presented, and the service was perfect. All in all we give them 5 stars

More
Summerfield Suites is a really nice extended stay hotel where my husband and I reserve a room for my in-laws whenever they come to town. It's very reasonably priced for what you get, so we like it, too. My in-laws have recommended it to all their friends who come to visit Seattle, too. The suites are great, neutrally but tastefully decorated, and fairly spacious. The location is ideal, just West of Capitol Hill, just North of First Hill, and on the Eastern edge of downtown by the convention center. It's super easy to walk to and from downtown and almost just as easy to walk to the Pike/Pine corridor, although it's uphill getting there. Although the hotel is located directly over I-5 where it passes through downtown, it's very well insulated from the freeway noise. Rooms with a view can see the Space Needle and the fireworks display on 4th of July.
They offer several different room configurations, the more expensive options being the ones where the living/dining area is separate from the bedroom(s). Those suites feel just like corporate housing, if you've ever been there. All have a small "vanity" area/room that is separate from the bathroom so that the bathroom mirror isn't the only mirror in the suite. Each suite has a desk with one of those fancy Aeron desk chairs, which are really as comfortable as everyone claims.
The kitchen in every suite comes with decent counterspace, a microwave, sink, dishwasher, and fridge. Everything's always very clean and well-maintained. Every morning, they serve a continental breakfast buffet complete with make-your-own waffles. There's even a small convenience store area in the lobby where you can buy foods to cook in your room. If you don't feel like cooking in your room, there are a number of good restaurants within a block or two, several of which offer delivery service to the hotel.
There is a small, heated rooftop pool where kids like to play as well as a small adjoining gym.
The staff are very nice, especially the guys in the parking garage. We are always in and out picking up the parents and dropping them off and the valets are always okay with us parking in one of the short-term spots for free. Overnight parking incurs $20-something (or whatever is the usual for hotels).
As an added bonus, you might run into celebrities if you stay here. The Paramount is nearby, after all. My husband recently met LL Cool J and his entourage in the lobby as they were checking out!

I find Marriott Hotels, in general, to be top notch. They are clean and well run, providing good value.
The Springhill Suites on Yale is one of my favorite places to stay in Seattle. It is close to the downtown area and the theaters.
If you do not want to walk, they have a free shuttle service which will drop or pick you up at the Convention Center, downtown or at the Space Needle.
All rooms are large, with sofas, frig and microwave. some rooms even have two TV's - all have free high sped internet.
The complementary breakfast offers lots of selection - no need for a big lunch afterward!
The staff are very friendly and make you feel right at home!
