Top hotels in Westlake
Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown Lake Union
This Marriott was very modern and in a great location, but the service was horrible. The elevators broke down on Saturday afternoon and nobody that worked at this Marriott seemed to care. I usually stay at Marriot Hotels, but this one I will avoid on my next trip.

Executive Hotel Pacific
My first trip to Seattle. I expected a lot more from this hotel. But I was super disappointed. Parking is difficult at best. A block away. The air conditioning didn’t work at all, I was given a fan. The bathroom is so small you couldn’t turn around. Seems more like a $99 dollar a night kinda of place. ...

The Paramount Hotel
Great location and very clean. Unfortunately one of the elevators was down the whole time I was there, so there was sometimes a little wait for an elevator, but it was never more than 5 minutes. It also would have been nice to have a microwave available. Otherwise a great place to stay!
