For an older hotel, they have done a good job maintaining it. Great buffet and a nice accommodation overall. Unfortunately, my daughter had bites on her body which scared me... I thought it was bed bugs but I believe the room turn around in this hotel is pretty good. So after seeing multiple dogs in the hotel during my stay,... More

We enjoyed a week-long stay at this Residence Inn during a recent trip to visit family in the area. This hotel was perfect for us - excellent location to downtown Seattle, huge room that allowed our family to spread out and have the personal space necessary for a week away from home :c) We booked a 2 bed/2 bath and...

This is my second stay at the Residence Inn/Lake Union and I wanted to see if it could possibly top the last visit...it did! This is a great hotel to stay and still be within the city confines, but an easy escape out of the city too. The streetcar stop is right across the street, and there are restaurants all... More

We stayed at this location for New Years. It is in walking distance to the Space Needle and also close to the streetcar which brings you to downtown Seattle. Not too far to walk either. Great suites, kitchen, extra living room and bedroom. Fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemaker. Breakfast is to die for. Lots of options to choose from. Just don't... More

My husband, two young children and I stayed here in december 2011. Upon arrival we were very nicely greeted even though it was around 11pm at night. We stayed in a one bedroom room which was the size of an apartment! The bedroom had a huge king bed with the softest mattress cover and a large flat screen tv. The... More

First...easy on and off the I-5. Second...secure, covered parking (expensive - worth it). Have you noticed that the more "exclusive" i.e. expensive a hotel / motel is the fewer amenities it provides. Not the Residence Inn...they provide morning and evening meals and a free high-speed internet. The staff are gracious and friendly. Comfortable suites, large screen TV's, full kitchens and... More

We have stayed there while visiting our youngest son a number of times and it is the only hotel in that part of Seattle that we care to stay at. They have underground parking. It's a little pricy but there are not really any other options for parking. I have never seen a Residence Inn that looks like this one.... More

I have stayed here a couple weeks and am very impressed with place. The reception area is nice and they have on-site, underground parking ($$), but given the crummy Seattle weather, that works real nice. Rooms are excellent and, if you stay on the lake side, you get nice views. Typical Marriott quality. Breakfast is really excellent. Evening receptions are... More

Stayed here for 2 nights on a shopping weekend with my sister. The room was a nice 1 bedroom with a fold out sofa and full kitchen. We faced the lake but didn't have a view because we weren't high enough. I had heard these rooms could be noisy because they faced the street, but we never found it too... More

As with most of the Marriots the rooms are big, the staff friendly and the hotel clean. But location isn't the best. I was here on bussiness so for me it didn't matter. More
