The Belltown Inn
Belltown, Seattle is like the day/night of the living dead. Keep your head on a swivel, and your wallet close. Junkies roam 3rd street 24hrs/day. This area is not for the faint of heart.

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
Building of disrepair, rooms remodeled, and clean.

Executive Hotel Pacific
This hotel is way more run down than we expected, AC didn’t work and windows don’t open so was warm and stuffy all night, sofa bed was awful and really not useable. Bar/restaurant attached to the hotel had good food and good service. Would not recommend this hotel to others.

The Paramount Hotel
The room was very clean, quiet, spacious. Great location and less expensive than the hotel across the street. One of two elevators was out of order. There is only complimentary coffee before 7 am. After that you have to pay at the expensive cafe.

Fairmont Olympic Hotel
Fantastic property in Seattle. Beautiful grounds/amenities. Could use some updating here and there… but overall a great spot. Location is excellent.
