Mediterranean Inn
Pleasant and quiet room, comfortable beds, helpful staff and great location. My friend and I enjoyed our stay very much

The Belltown Inn
I recommend to pick this Hotel specially through Expedia. Everything is walking distance and inconvenient. Pike place and needle and so on are 5 to 10 minutes walk.

Executive Hotel Pacific
The AC did nothing to keep the room cool. April isn’t exactly warm in Seattle, so I can’t imagine staying there during the summer months. The room was clean but very basic-get what you pay for there! The staff though were not very warm and welcoming.

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
It's not bad, but it's not great. Smells like an old hotel in places. Staff was nice. Had to pay $35 for parking, so more expensive than other options that don't blindside you with fees. Hot tub was also closed... i really wanted a soak.
