Hotel Review of the Best Western Pioneer Square Seattle
Aug 13, 2010
This is a centrally located, heritage hotel with lovely rooms and a deluxe
continental breakfast! Having traveled to Seattle many times before, we thought
it was time to stay in another area other than beside the Pike Place Market. The
BW in Pioneer Square was well-appointed and full of heritage character and
ambiance. Unlike other BWs, this hotel has style and grace with comfort to boot.
We didn't need to pay for parking, for we were able to find free street parking
after 6pm, and the parking is free on Sundays, too. The location was great for
taking in old Seattle, the Underground Tours, Chinatown, right beside Safeco and
Qwest stadiums, the waterfront stores and restaurants. The staff were very kind
and helpful.

This place lived up to Best Western's reputation of good value. The room was
clean, fresh and fairly large. The service was good but the maid service was
pretty late in the day. Concierge John went out of his way to help us with
directions and tours. And the free breakfast was good. It included a self-make
waffle machine which was a hit while we were there. The location is good, not
great. The hotel is within walking distance of the buses, trains, stadiums,
waterfront, and the old city district. But it is not in the bustling section of
the city where many of the other better hotels, shops, and the like are. We
observed more homeless wandering people in Seattle than in any other city we
have ever been. A Mission which feeds the homeless is two blocks away from the
hotel. We never felt threatened, but were aware. The homeless are all over
Seattle but they seemed to us a little more prevalent in our area. The room was
quiet except were were located above the bar and at night we could hear patrons
having a good time. It was not so loud we could not sleep, but you may want to
avoid the 2nd floor front rooms. We would recommend the Pioneer Square Best
Western for travelers looking for value first and are willing to be flexible
with the few issues we mentioned here..

We enjoy staying here and then going to a game at Safeco Field. We get a king
room with a street view and we walk to the waterfront, shops along First Ave.
and to the field. Handy, well stocked breakfast room, helpful and pleasant staff
and the historic feel of the hotel make the stay special.

Excellent facility, close to waterfront, fine restaurants, Pike Place Market,
major sports stadiums, etc. Deluxe room was spacious , comfortable and had an
excellent King bed.
Only improvement would be replacing old style TV with larger flat screen model,
Overall, a delightful tourist experience....we have already booked another visit
for mid-September.

Nice hotel in a "real" part of Seattle. Rooms clean, breakfast great (if a
little crowded at times). Easy walking distance of fishermans wharf and plenty
of bars and restaurants.
We were catching the ferry after our two days and you couldn't be better
located. One slight downside is that the area has its share of down and outs so
be prepared for frequent panhandlers.
Just around the corner is the underground tour - well worth a try for the
entertainment /comedy value as much as the educational aspect.

Noise from police sirens, buses, load music and a crying baby in a nearby room.
Soft lumpy beds. Our upgraded room with a view looked onto a street where
homeless people slept. This hotel should not be in the Best Western group. The
staff didnt care when I said that I had had a bad night. Also parking is $20 and
you have to walk a few blocks away. We did not feel safe late at night in this
area coming back from the parking lot.
I would not recommend this hotel.

While recently on business in Seattle, I decided to skip the usual rental-car
and hotel-near-the-airport routine. Instead, I took the new light rail straight
to Pioneer Square station ($2.50) and walked two blocks to the hotel. A great
start! The hotel is in a convenient location just outside of "downtown" but
everything in the area is within easy walking distance. Also extremely
convenient is the fact that all buses are free to ride within a larger downtown
area. So definitely: you do not need a car while you're staying here, and you
don't need to take cabs either.
I had a room on the fourth floor facing Yesler. While there was a bit of traffic
noise, it was not overwhelming; the doors and windows did a very good job of
blocking that out. The room was tastefully furnished, and the small but
functional bathroom had all the required amenities, including Neutrogena
products. Breakfast is served from 6-10 am, and is a good mix of standards,
including waffles. No other hot food is available. In the area there are dozens
of smaller and larger restaurants to choose from.
All in all a very pleasant experience, and I would definitely return to this
hotel in the future.

Staff was very helpful, engaging. Rooms were spacious, clean. A little dated,
then again it is located in Pioneer Square, so it fits. Close to many downtown
Seattle attractions - underground tour, shopping, mall. McDicks right around the
corner for midnight snacks - that's key.
Can get a little seedy in Pioneer Square at night, and paying for parking is a
pain, but the hotel is worth it. Plus they're a lot cheaper than most hotels
near by, so that makes up for it. Definitely recommend.

Location, location, location. This place is in the oldest, most interesting part
of town. Two blocks from a ferry port. In walking distance of world-renown
Pike's Place Market. Close to Chinatown, sports venues. No on-site parking, and
the off-site parking is expensive. This is a face-lifted old hotel. No pool. The
Italian restaurant at the water-end of the street was excellent, also the New
Orleans place near the parking garage. A few panhandlers, but relatively few for
such a funky neighborhood. If you're trying to get in by car, the front desk
guys do not drive into work and their well-meaning helpfulness was more hassle
than help. You don't need a car here. If you can't walk, things are close. A cab
is cheaper than a private car, and mass transit here is very good-- they even
have a monorail.

Somewhat unprepossessing from the outside this hotel is a real gem - fantastic
location - friendly staff - and a fine free breakfast.
Stay here - you won't be disappointed |
