Hotel Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Lake Union (Seattle, USA)

The hotel is located a few minutes' walk from Lake Union water front and boat cruises, which is also a picturesque area to go for a stroll or jog. Within a 10-minute drive, or 25-minutes by public transport, you can reach the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the center of town and the WA State Convention Center.

Guests reported that the rooms, including the bathrooms, are spacious, clean and well presented. The beds are comfortable and the tea and coffee making facilities are a welcome touch. Many rooms also offer beautiful views of the lake. The indoor pool is great for both adults and children, and the on site restaurant offers a variety of delicious dishes.

The front desk staff have been described as friendly, helpful and attentive, going out of their way to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. Tourist information can be found throughout the hotel in the form of leaflets, and staff are also knowledgeable and happy to answer questions about local activities and attractions.

While the on-site underground was a plus, some guests felt that the additional expense of parking was too high.

While some rooms feature views of the skyline or lake and harbor views, other rooms do not offer such picturesque views. Some guests requested rooms with a view and were disappointed when this request was not met and they instead had a street or car park view.

While staff received mostly favorable reviews, some guests were upset that they were not informed that the breakfast buffet and car parking was not complimentary, and they were surprised by the bill received at the end of their stay.
