Property is very well presented and all staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is out of town near the airport which has its advantages. The on demand shuttle to and from the light rail station is an excellent service and makes this a great place to stay in Seattle. The only disappointment was the free continental breakfast which was really not even worth the effort to walk to the restaurant for. This was offset by he complimentary fruit and ice-cream at each sitting area. Would readily stay again and recommend it to anyone for either short or longer stays in Seattle.

A hidden gem! Courteous staff. Great food at the restaurant. Simple but healthy breakfast. Complimentary water, chips, fruit, and ice cream in the sitting areas. Near the airport and conveniently located to catch the light rail in Seattle which takes about 35 minutes.

Let me start off by saying that I had a pretty bad attitude about my trip to Seattle. It was for business and I was not happy at all to be traveling across the country the week before Thanksgiving. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed my stay at the Cedarbrook lodge. The check-in staff was wonderful, the room was cozy and comfortable, and the grounds were beautiful. I loved the Keurig in the room and used it every morning of my stay. I also did the complimentary breakfast which was beautifully done. I especially loved the smoked salmon. There is a lounge area in each building that is stocked with snacks and has some books, a fireplace, TV, and some newspapers. I used this area quite a bit and it was always clean and well stocked.

On my second day in Seattle I had a very long day of work and came back to the hotel wanting to relax and unwind. My colleague and I decided to meet some friends in the hotel bar and it was WONDERFUL! The happy hour wine was great, and a good deal too. The two guys working at the bar and serving the tables were terrific. I asked my server what he recommended and he said "everything, it's all good". He was exactly right. We shared the flat bread, portabello fries, and the happy hour chicken wings and it was all delicious. I hear the restaurant is great too, but I can highly recommend having a meal in the bar area.

I plan on coming back to Seattle in the future for work and for vacation and I would not stay anywhere else but here. Definitely give this place a try if you will be in the Seattle area.

How is this place only three and a half stars??? Immaculate grounds, super nice staff (David checked us in and was so awesome,) hot apple cider upon arrival, clean rooms and an amazing breakfast. Free snacks and water, a pillow menu (my girlfriend is allergic to down feathers so this was an especially nice touch,) safe in room, iPod compatible clock/radio and a really awesome shower with soaps and shampoo that my girlfriend really loved. 15-20min drive to downtown and 5min away from the airport and a mall. Copperleaf, the adjoining restaurant is every bit as extravagant as the hotel.

If I had to complain, I'd say it would be nice to have a rear exit on the Dogwood building. It's a bit of a walk from the lobby so if you're older or disabled you may want to request a closer room. We had some issues with the card readers not recognizing our door keys but not a big deal.

This place is an incredible value and everyone is so kind and helpful. Seriously, just book it. Don't waste your time and money downtown.
