I got to be honest the Marriott Hotel Seattle is everything you would want in
downtown Seattle-very nice rooms with balcony-nicely decorated-the people are
very nice and will lead you in the right direction-short walk to the pier as
well as fish market-decent restaurant across the street. I would echo that the
walls are thin but not too bad. Valet Parking was a bit steep-maybe you can ask
for a deal-no self park-it is about a block away.
Hotel Review of the Marriott Hotel Seattle Waterfront
6 April 2012
I was a tourist in my own hometown a few weeks ago. Spend a weekend celebrating
a birthday (Grandma's 95th) at the Marriott Waterfront Seattle. I have stayed in
a couple other hotels in the city, but this was the most enjoyable. Aside from
being a very comfortable and well staffed hotel at a reasonable price, the
location of the Marriott Waterfront is ideal for a Seattle vacation. Staying
here, we were afforded the quintessential view of the Sound and Olympic
Mountains off our balcony. Watching the sun rise over the mountains as the
ferry's rolled in and out across the Sound was a peaceful respite from a busy
weekend. So peaceful, yet only a short three block stroll from Pike Place Market
and the core Downtown area!
The Marriott Hotel Seattle location is perfect. Starting our day walking through
"The Market", with it's many bakeries and coffee shops was a perfect way to
start our day as "tourists". From there, it's no more than a mile in any
direction to access some of Seattle's must-see's. To the north, The Space
Needle, Seattle Center, and Queen Anne Hill (don't forget to visit Kerry Park!).
To the East, the retail core, museums, theatres, and Capitol Hill (home to some
of the finest restaurants and people watching Seattle has to offer). To the
South you'll find Seattle's oldest neighborhood, Pioneer Square and beyond that,
SODO, where you can catch a soccer or baseball game and find some decent BBQ.
Also, don't forget to stroll the Waterfront, which is right out the front door
of the Marriott. Visit the Aquarium, Ivars (Seattle's most beloved fishhouse),
and the multitude of quirky shops. The waterfront is a good way to spend an
afternoon or a good starting point for one of the many boat tours you can enjoy.
After a long day of touristing, the Marriott Waterfront is a great place to
return to relax for the evening. It has all of the amenities you would expect:
restaurants, gift shop, meeting rooms, swimming pool, and 24-hour gym.
Hotel Review of the Marriott Hotel Seattle Waterfront
5 April 2012
Stayed at the Marriott Hotel Seattle for a conference in April 2012. The room
was spacious and very clean, but the walls were so thin, that I could hear the
TV and the person talking next door. Hallway noise was very prevalent, sometimes
it sounded as if someone was knocking on your door. The bed was very hard and
there were only 2 fiber pillows, the rest were feather. There was the standard
fridge and coffeemaker in the room, wished that there had been a microwave. If
you are staying for an extended period, I highly recommend asking for a room
with a view. My view, was a sliver of bay/ocean front and the side of a parking
garage. Also, there is a train track that runs right behind the hotel, and you
will hear it, 2-3 times a night.
The Marriott Hotel Seattle is within walking distance from many local attactions,
but beware, it is all uphill and if you have mobility issues, it may be a bit
daunting. The staff were polite and helpful, but I do wish that I stayed closer
to the city center. |
