Hotel Review of the Edgewater Hotel Seattle
June 17, 2011
We got a great deal on Priceline and were lucky enough to end up at the
Edgewater. It's the only hotel on the Seattle waterfront, and about a 10 minute
walk to the Space needle, or the other direction to Pike Place Market, and about
a 30 minute walk to the ball parks. The room was very large. We didn't get a
waterfront view, but had a nice view of the space needle from our room. The
workout facility in the hotel is pretty good. Their room amenities guidebook is
not very complete, so make sure you ask about charges, and ask about their
facility services. Parking was pretty expensive, but probably typical for a
large city, and there are 24 hour privileges, which is nice.

We had the most wonderful time staying at this hotel. the staff is very
professional, the accommodations are terrific. We had a water-side suite for my
family of 5 and could not have been more thrilled with everything the hotel had
to offer us. The view was breathtaking and it was such a great way to experience
Seattle, which is a wonderful port town. The location was perfect for us -
walking distance to Pike's Place Market, Bell Town restaurants and bars and on a
free bus line to Pioneer square. We did not rent a car and never felt we needed
one as the public transportation was very accessible. The hotel dining was
wonderful as was the hotel bar, which had live music and fabulous views. My
extended family was staying in other hotels in town, but all agreed we had the
best spot. We will be returning to Seattle and will stay here again!

Went for a long weekend getaway and always enjoy Seattle. When we arrived we
found out that we only had a kingsize bed, so asked for 2 beds as requested on
reservations, and one was found. We were on the cityview side which was nice,
had a view of the space needle outside our window. The only problem for me as I
am a light sleeper was the train, it was pretty quiet considering it's close
proximity to the hotel, however it felt stuffy in the room so opened up window a
bit and then you could hear it...2-3 times at night. May have done better at
sleep if the bed was just a wee bit softer... friend said it was just right for
her... the restaurant food was excellent and the view from there was fantastic.
Most definitely would go again.. just with the water view!! Service was great!

My mother and I stayed here in early May. We had double beds, and a first-floor
room on the water. It was wonderful.
Yes, the room was small--but not so small you couldn't get around. I've
definitely stayed in smaller. The in-room fireplace was cozy. The room was
clean--and I'm sensitive about cleanliness. The staff was very helpful. At least
where we were on the water side, I couldn't really hear any noise; with the
window open, you could of course hear ships going by, but I enjoyed it. The view
was great. I slept through the night both nights with no problem, and I'm not a
heavy sleeper. The bathroom was fabulous; I would love to have one like it
(though I'm not a fan of the slow-draining vessel sink). Note that there is no
tub--I would never dream of taking a bath in a hotel, but I'm sure some people
might miss it.
I don't think any of the decor looked dated at all--it was a modern take on
classic northwest timber decor. The bar was swanky, with neato projections on
one wall. There is indeed food served after 9pm, and they were gracious about my
very specific cocktail request. Which they handled beautifully. My mother and I
were able to walk everywhere in town, including to Pike's Place market. There is
a steep climb up from the waterfront to the center of town, so be forewarned if
you have problems walking. If you want to park in their lot, the valet parking
is mandatory. I advise just budgeting it in. Also note that like most upscale
hotels, they do charge a fee for in-room wifi. I can't wait until hotels stop
charging.
I'm not associated with the hotel in any way; I'm just so surprised to see so
many negative reviews. If you want to stay on the water, be sure to request a
room on the water. Also note that if you make the reservation through a service
like Priceline, the reservation at the hotel may not match the reservation you
made. This happens at every single hotel I go to, but be prepared, and consider
calling ahead of time to confirm your room.
Room Tip: Ask for a room on the water. Hotel Review of the Edgewater Hotel Seattle

Cozy hotel and room with gas chimney. The room was small but the bed
comfortable. The whole interior is old fashion stylish. Liked it.
The cheesy-bacon popcorn from the minibar is disgusting (at least not my taste).
I recommend this place
