Hotel Review of the Best Western Pioneer Square Seattle

Mar 1, 2010
My friend and I stayed at the BW Pioneer Square two nights. It's in a great location, close to Amtrak and easy walking to Pike Place, Seattle Art Museum and downtown shopping. It's an historic old building so the rooms and bathrooms are small (as are the lobby and breakfast room), but it's very comfortable and beautifully refurbished. Take the stairs instead of the elevator and check out the carpets on the stairs and landings,--beautiful! Clean, great service, great Best Western self serve breakfast.

We stayed at the Pioneer Square Hotel Jan 22nd using the Entertainment discount - the experience far exceeded our expectations!! When I called to book our two rooms, Alex was very helpful. He told us how close the hotel was to the Waterfront, the Underground, shops, Pike Street Market. We got a very good price for our two rooms.
I was very suprised at how beautifully decorated the hotel and rooms were, very clean, provided delicious breakfast with waffles. The staff, including Michael at the front desk, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The only downside was the view from our window was another building, but the sheer curtains concealed the view while providing plenty of light into the rooms. I would highly recommend this hotel!!

I usually stay by the Public Market, but this was fantastic. The hotel is small, quaint, totally clean and quiet, with a little European-like breakfast room. You can ask the concierge anything! It rained during my 2 day stay. Not only did I receive an umbrella each day, but everything downtown was walkable or close to free ride, bus or train. Restaurants and bars are close for evening meals and nightcaps; I felt safe on my own. I discovered the Pioneer Square underground Transit Tunnel stop 2 blocks up from the hotel, and the free bus from there to the International District (Uwajimaya just across the street) one stop away. This is the same station for the train to the airport, about a half hour trip for $2.50 (only detriment a long walk to the terminal at the end). The hotel is super for staff, service, quiet, convenience, and proximity to downtown and airport by foot or public transportation. I couldn't have asked for more.

I stay in Seattle a few times a year, usually at one of the Marriotts. Since I was arriving by train and leaving by the train the next day I wasn't keen to go all the way up to the centre of downtown and come back at the crack of dawn.
I've read the reviews for the Pioneer Sq. BW a few times and they seemed to be consistently positive. Everything I've read is accurate. It's a nice clean, well maintained, quiet hotel. I got a good rate through the BW website. I arrived about 10:30 am and although I didn't get the type of room I booked I was happy to be given a room on arrival.
The breakfast is fine, typical sort of self-serve continental breakfast.
In my opinion the area is not unsafe but it could be uncomfortable for some at night. Transit if free in downtown Seattle during the day (I'm not sure about weekends) so getting around the city centre is a snap for those who'd rather not walk.

We had travelled 1000 miles via Amtrak celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.
This hotel is in the Historic Area of Seattle which I did not know when the reservations (via AAA) were made. Old brick building, small lobby, nice with fireplace, palms and a couple of chairs, nothing spectacular but it filled the needs of a lobby.

You can imagine my surprise when we opened the door to our room and it was SPECTACULAR! Gorgeous furnishings, tri ceiling, lovely view of the quiet tree lined street below, tons of period furniture including a long couch and lovely desk, and the biggest bed I have ever seen (I sleep on a California King, at home).

We just got back from a weekend stay at the Best Western Pioneer Square in Seattle and the stay was beyond my expectations. During our last visit, we booked a hotel for a similar price and it was a complete dump so when I was able to book this hotel for a very reasonable rate with my CAA discount, I wasn't expecting too much. The hotel was in a great location, lots of places to eat and drink in the area plus close to some great places like the Crab Pot on the waterfront. The staff that we encountered during our stay were all so nice and friendly. The room was large and very clean with a nice big bathroom and tub! It was quiet, we never heard a single noise while in our rooms. The breakfast that is included was ok, nothing spectacular but lots to choose from with waffles, bagels, cereal, eggs, etc. The hotel is also in the "ride free" zone so you can ride the bus for free. We also walked and took a cab to the main shopping area and it is super close. Overall, nothing but good things to say and we will be back for sure! One thing, if you stay here and looking for something fun to do at night, the Comedy Underground is a very short 2 minute walk from the hotel and for $15, we got to see 2 comedians and it was a great time!

a well preserved old hotel in a perfect location for our visits to seattle. we like to walk in the city, so using the car park two blocks away is convenient. close to train station, safeco field, elliot bay book store, seattle art museum, pike mkt (maybe 12 blocks), and an easy city bus ride to husky stadium.
the hotel is clean and comfortable. the staff is friendly and helpful.

Everyone at the hotels was very courteous and helpful. Greg and Mike were more than willing to answer ALL our questions.
Location was perfect for touring around. Highly recommend staying at this unique hotel.

We stayed 2 nights in an interior King bed room. Others speak of small noisey rooms, but ours was 13 feet x 19 feet with a large bathroom and very clean and comfortable. The hotel is right next to a loud overhead roadway, so an interior room that faces a small courtyard is best. Of course no view, but quiet. We were here on a AAA rate at about $90 before taxes.

Check in is not too friendly as to clerk attitude and lots of forms to sign regarding the many expensive penalties they want to impose if you don't follow their rules.

Parking is in a garage about 1 1/2 blocks away and is $20 per day with unlimited in and out privileges. The garage closes at 10 PM to the general public and I don't know if a Best Western guest has special after hours access. I think the parking rate was reasonable considering the location and alternatives.

The included continental breakfast is better than average. Only hot stuff is the make it yourself waffle and toast, but the yogurt and oranges and apples are of better quality. The tables have white linen tablecloths which are changed when soiled during the breakfast period.

Our internet connection worked well and there is no extra charge. There is no fitness center or pool at this hotel.

We found the location, which is a very short distance from the waterfront to be excellent.

Location was central to places I wanted to see. Stayed 2 nights - room was small but comfortable and clean for the price charged. Staff member Mike was knowledgeable and helpful. Complimentary breakfast offered was much better than other same category chain hotels. Only downside to my stay was that the room window faced the side alley, with loud noises late at night that sounded like a garbage dumpster was being emptied

Where here now on the 2nd of 3 nights. The hotel is clean with a very nice breakfast, and location is excellent - one short block to the Underground Tours; across the street from the ferry's (take the Bainbridge Island ferry for a beautiful, very inexpensive trip to the Island - or another); about 8 blocks (nice walk) to Pike Place Market; a couple blocks to Elliott Bay shops. Everything is close and if you enjoy to walk just a little it's the perfect location and a great value. We love to find good value and boutique type hotels, especially in great locations. We highly recommend this. The only issue I have is our room is near the elevated highway and there is more noise at night than I care for (but ear plugs do the trick). But the room is very clean and it's a nice older hotel.

We chose the Pioneer Square for its price and proximity to AMTRAK (it's a $4 cab ride to the station, tip not included). We stayed two nights, one going and one coming.
It would take a compelling reason now to choose another Seattle hotel. We got in late the first night and the desk staff could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. We were quickly in our nicely appointed and furnished room and found the extra pillows we had asked for online.
The Pioneer is a historic building with the ambiance only found in earlier days. It has had a first class restoration, so you get the best of the old and of the new.
The included breakfast is of first quality and generous quantity. A cheerful attendant provides any help you need and boiled eggs provide the protein often missing from such meals.
Finally, when I discovered I had left my shaving kit behind and called the hotel they simply checked my address and said they would send it along. At no charge.
The Best Western Pioneer Square will be our hotel in Seattle from now on.

I have always wanted to stay in downtown Seattle, visit Pioneer Square, sightsee and shop. I was concerned about the safety of staying downtown. However I was so happy to have available at $20 for the night as well as into the next day, secured parking.
The staff was very friendly and sociable. They stored our luggage the morning we checked out so that we could do our shopping and touring for the day as well as to leave our mini van parked in the secured parking.
Although our room was a bit small, it was clean and comfortable. I would most definetly stay there again.

We chose this hotel for a brief stay before a cruise and were pleased from the moment we walked in. Check-in was easy and the pleasant staff member gave us maps of the area along with the room keys. The hotel is a very short walk from the "Seattle Underground" tour and the Klondike Museum in an historic area with many shops and restaurants. I asked about purchasing wine and flowers to take on our cruise, and another map that detailed the immediate vicinity was given to me and the appropriate shops marked. The staff member suggested waiting to buy the flowers at the Pike Street Market, which was an excellent suggestion.
Breakfast was pleasant and included the individual waffle maker, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, pastries and more. Checkout was easy and we were allowed toleave our luggage in their secure storage room while we toured the area after checkout. The bellman was extremely courteous and pleasant when retrieving our bags and hailing a cab. We plan to stay here again if we are in Seattle.

We were right where we wanted to be - walking distance to Pike Place, Pioneer Square, Qwest WaMu Center, waterfront. Our room was ready when we walked in the door early. I loved the old, vintage feeling, wide halls and stairs to our room. The bathroom was spotless, the shower was great. We parked the car and never touched it until we drove home. The neighborhood was quaint with marvellous shops and restaurants. I highly recommend it. It was relaxing not taking taxis and being able to run in and out of our hotel as we went from place to place. The staff was friendly, helpful and ready.

I didn't plan my trip to Seattle very far ahead, and so was thrilled that this hotel worked out so well! I arrived early in the morning, and luckily my room was ready, and it was a lovely room - the girl at the front desk had managed to give me a better room than the one I had originally been quoted on. It was spacious and comfortable, with my only complaint being that the bathroom door automatically shut itself, which could be really annoying. The staff were very helpful, when I had questions about tours and so on, and the location was very close to Pioneer Square, and within the area of the city which had free buses during the day, which made getting around very easy.

Pioneer Square Best Western Hotel in Seattle is by far one of the best Hotels I have stayed in. The location is ideal , staff is wonderful, beautiful entry with warming fireplace. Rooms are beautiful, clean and remodelled to the era with drapery and large doors of the time period. Great service, always pleasant and glad to see you again. They " listen" to your wants and needs, a miracle today. I have traveled all over the world, stayed is some of the best hotels and can honestly say, this is the most pleasant of all. Also great continental breakfast!!

While only for one evening my stay was enjoyable. The hotel is easy walking distance from the Amtrak Station and located in one of the oldest and unique areas of Seattle. The hotel is quaint, with the feeling of old world charm. When you enter you attention is drawn to the big easy chairs surrounding the fireplace and then to the beautiful old staircase with the wide, beautifully carved wooden banister. This decor is carried throughout the hotel, including the rooms. The service was excellent and the staff knowledgeable about the area. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
