We stayed at this hotel last summer for 4 nights during our visit to Seattle. From check-in until check-out there was truly a sense of being pampered. They have one restaurant and they are also most. The restaurant will make up a box lunch for their guests, which is a nice convenience. We went fishing one day during our stay and ordered a box lunch. It was very delicious and just the right amount of food for our outing.
I would most definitely stay there again. Quality hotel in every aspect.

I am hosting my wedding here in December. I have been planning for about a year and it has been a great experience. I have been to the hotel on several occasions. The rooms are beautiful, the staff is always friendly (everyone from the valet to the front desk to the waitstaff in the bar), and the hotel itself is gorgeous. It is not in the heart of downtown (as far as walking distance from most sights) but the hotel provides complimentary towncar service for all guests. As far as special events are concerned they have taken great care of us. The Top of the Town and Penthouse Suite (where my wedding will be held) has a beautiful view of the skyline. The coordinator has gone above and beyond to make sure my event is just what I imagined it would be. I am truly pleased and would recommend the hotel to anyone!

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!

Just the fact that there are no other reviews of this hotel tells me that the secret is still safe. The Vintage Park is a true gem among a lot of bigger, flashier downtown hotels. The lobby is small and cozy, but nicely welcoming with a warm fireplace and comfy couches. The entire hotel has been recently renovated and it shows - the rooms are decorated with a Tuscan flair, and although some are on the small side, they're welcoming and beautiful.
I had an occassion to attend an event held in the Presidential Suite - and let me tell you, THAT is one gorgeous place. I could be talked into living there permanently quite easily.
If you stay here, don't miss the restaurant - Tulio's, it's exquisite. (See my seperate review.)

Let me start by saying that I would have never eaten at this restaurant if my boss had not taken me there for my review. Hotel restaurants should be in a class of their own, but this one is pretty good. It is at the very top of the Hilton hotel, which isn't the tallest building around, but the view is wonderful. You can see most of the downtown core as well as beautiful Elliott Bay. I've been there for lunch twice now and there are so many things going for this place. As I mentioned, there's a killer view. A huge plus in my book: it is never crowded. I've found that you need a reservation for lunch at most nicer restaurants downtown, but not here. And the prices are right on par with the other restaurants in town, about $10-15 for a lunch entrée. The food is pretty good as well. Not excellent, but what you lose in taste you certainly make up for in atmosphere. I will definely come here during the crazy holiday-shopping time when every place other place is full to the brim.

by ccvisitWalking through the Seattle Marriot Waterfront's lobby, you know you've stepped into an above-average hotel. Located on Alaskan Way, the building itself is U-shape with right angles, so most rooms have some view of Seattle's famed Waterfront. And from what I can see, most upper rooms had a balcony. Open the sliding doors and you can smell and hear the ocean. Also, the famed restaurant called the Fish Club is a nice way to start your culinary adventures in Seattle.
Right next to the hotel is the Seattle International Trade Center where I'm sure a lot of important business is done. There's also a Starbucks inside the Trade Center. Across the street is a place where summer concerts are set up. Also, along Alaskan Way, the Waterfront Trolley trolls along and it's a convenient way for you to get from your hotel to the central part of the Waterfront where you can start your day, but the Trolley does pass through Pioneer Square and ends in the Chinatown Int'l District.

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!

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.)

My family stayed here for a Seattle family reunion this summer and really enjoyed it. The rooms are very luxurious and include a kitchen area with free daily refreshments, reading area and large bathrooms. It is located about 3 blocks from Pike Marketplace and across from the Seattle Art Museum, so convenient for walking around downtown without a car. It is not a 'quaint' bed and breakfast, as it's located in a high rise apartment building but the staff was very courteous and you didn't interact much with the other people actually living there. Other perks include a cocktail hour with wine and appetizers and a turn-down service.

The Hill House Bed & Breakfast is immaculate and charming in every aspect possible. Guests are pampered with fire places and Jacuzzi tubs in the rooms, which by the way are very romantic. Very reasonably priced considering all the perks. The entire staff are fantasticly kind and helpful. Very peaceful surroundings and atmosphere.
