Very nice Marriott! We booked based on location, this is walking distance to many of Seattle's touristy attractions. Upon arrival we found the hotel to be beautifully decorated, the lobby was spacious if you just wanted to lounge around a bit. Our room was very nice, the most memorable aspect being the balcony overlooking Elliott Bay. Definitely a nice surprise, especially the following morning watching the boats sail by. We walked to the Seattle Wheel, then down to Pike's Place (10 min walk, tops) and throughout the course of the night made our way over to Belltown for more exploring. We were at the hotel for less than 24hrs so we didn't make use of many of the amenities... super bummed because the pool and spa looked AMAZING. The valet was quick and easy, staff was friendly and our room was extremely clean. Two thumbs up. read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - View from our balcony of Elliott Bay. Beautiful morning! - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Great experience! Clean and comfy. We had a room facing the water so we could see planes taking off and landing throughout the day. We walked to the Space Needle but drove to Pike's Place. Easy to Uber around if needed. read more

Average hotel with standard amenities. Pool was ok, staff (Arjune) was super friendly and comped me a bat view room. A bit overpriced for what you get though. read more

+Great Location! Walking distance to Pike Market Place and we had a waterfront view +Refrigerator in our room +Great Service from everyone we encountered +Great water pressure in the shower and our bed & pillows were comfortable -Valet parking which does have in and out privileges was a bit steep. But free street parking from Saturday 8pm - Monday 8am! -No bathroom vent! -Concierge Lounge on 8th floor for platinum members is closed on weekends I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to be close to Pike Market Place and a waterfront view. read more

Excellent service!! Alana at the Seattle Waterfront Marriott went out of her way to provide exceptional, amazing service!! Thank you Alana! Here's to many more stays at Marriotts! read more

Doesn't live up to the Marriott brand. Lobby not kept up and rooms out of date. Service is mediocre at best. Our shower floor is cracked and moldy. Location is good but not worth it. read more

This hotel has horrible customer service. My fiancé and I slept in and as we left the maid was cleaning the room next to us and asked my fiancé if we needed our room clean and he said yes. The maid never cleaned our room. We got two double bed instead of one king. In addition, the Internet service was suppose to be free and the lady at the front desk said to accept the payment $12.95 and they will reverse it at check out. Well when it was time to check out they refused to waive the fee! Hotel is not worth $300 a night. Valet is the only option and the hotel charges $38 per night and you do not have any option but to valet. Take your money and go to another hotel with better customer service. read more

This hotel is absolutely beautiful in the public areas. The staff is ultra-friendly, though as with any place like this, if one person doesn't know, ask around, there's lots of obscure area knowledge that one person may have that another doesn't. Sadly, the elite member lounge was closed (which is really a bit daft on a Saturday in my mind, but oh well). They gave us breakfast as a consolation, though a few drinks at the bar instead of free in the lounge came with a much higher price tag than breakfast... That being said, eat the breakfast here, it was amazing and the staff down there was phenomenal! The room overlooking the water was clean, although honestly somewhat cramped and dated. The views are fantastic though, so overall very nice. The biggest complaint I have is that noise from higher levels travels down with crystal clarity (that or I was underneath someone walking with cinder blocks on their feet.) The location is super convenient, though walking back to the room from the waterfront at night does lead a few blocks through a less than desirable area. It's not all together terrifying or anything, just undeveloped and you'll run into some shadier types. If you're really bothered by it, take a car back to the room, they're everywhere. read more

Basic hotel rooms, not worth their hefty price tags, especially with the poor service here! Our room was cleaned & no towels were left behind, of course this was discovered once I was already in the shower. We called the service desk for towels, waited an hour & they never arrived! Of our 3 room service experiences, only one was satisfactory, but not good. We were delivered cold food on 2 occasions & a cold dish was served warm on another. Also, our food arrived later than the scheduled time. The location is nice & convenient, so next time we'll take our business to The Edgewater just down the street. read more

Ok, pros for this hotel is the location. Great views of the bay, and within short walking distance of Pikes market and the waterfront. That's about it. Cons. It needs to be updated. The lobby is nice but that is like putting a brass door knob on an outhouse! They overcharge for everything and try to give less than the bare minimum in return. Parking is $52 per night. The rooms $400+ per night. They are old they have plastic curtains in the shower, the air conditioning does not work! It is very loud do to trains passing directly in front of the hotel. You can not open the door to cool down the room to sleep because of the noise. The executive lounge is a joke! There are a few snacks, maybe 5. They have no water bottles in there to take back to the room, they have no water in the room except 2 bottles that they charge $3.50 each for . We are Marriott gold elite members and stay in marriotts all around the world. This is not up to par. I would say the owner of this hotel is trying to suck every dime out of this place and has no vision for the long run as an owner. Shame on you Marriott hotels for letting your name be attached to this property. This hotel is not up to your standards. read more

I visited here with my husband while he was on business. Rooms are clean and up to date. We were in a suite with an adjoining double for our children. It was more than enough space for our family of 5. There is free guest laundry. They even provide free detergent at front desk. Breakfast was good in hotel restaurant. Ordered clam chowder at the bar 1 day for lunch and it was awesome. We ate dinner in a conference room with my husbands business group and it was also good. Walking distance to Pike Place Market, shopping, and other Seattle landmarks. read more

Simple, sweet and convenient for the out-of-state business person. It's not spectacular, but it has enough for those visiting. I had friends and relatives visit me so they decided to stay in the city and be near the night life and prime tourist attractions. The location is prime to walk around and explore the immediate surrounding area (Pike Place Market, Waterfront, H&M!). The concierge and basically any of the workers at the hotel are very friendly and knowledgeable about the city and offer their own opinions about what they think the city has to offer. If you aren't on a business trip and are paying for your own stay, here are some tips about the hotel for financial purposes: Wi-Fi is about $13 for 24 hours of access Parking is $40 daily (street parking is metered, free from 6PM-8AM, 2 Hr max.) Average city hotel prices for the Bar/Bistro/Convenience shop items. read more

LOCATION..LOCATION..LOCATION!! Seriously best place to stay for great views of the waterfront while still being close to Downtown without being in Downtown. The Seattle Marriott Waterfront Hotel is a 5 minute walk from Pike Place Market and probably another 5 minutes to the monorail which will take you to Seattle Center in a minute. Everything is so convenient and close it made my vacation a breeze. The door man were friendly and welcoming as soon as we arrived to the hotel. As you enter the lobby you see a glass blown centerpiece shaped in coral and under water sea life. So vibrant and colorful it just brings a smile to your face. The front desk agent who checked us in, who I think was JoAnn, was pleasant and made the whole registration process a breeze. Our room was on the 7th floor facing the waterfront. The view from our room was breathtaking. Even better because of the 5 days we were there, 3 of those days were clear. Not a cloud in the sky. The sunsets those nights made my stay even more memorable. For anyone looking for places to stay in Seattle, I highly recommend The Marriott Waterfront Hotel. It's close proximity to everything Seattle has to offer is a huge plus. Also it'll allow you to get outdoors, walk around, and explore and experience what the city has to offer first hand. read more

The hotel location is perfect--it's walking distance to a bunch of great restaurants and bars, and it's right on the water. That said, I'm not a huge fan. If you stay here, try to get a room on a higher floor. Train tracks pass RIGHT in front of the hotel, and the trains go by not infrequently. Couple that with the motion sensor in the bathroom magically turning on the lights every couple of hours (kind of creepy) and I had a horrible two nights of sleep. The gym is smaller than I've seen in most Marriotts (four treadmills) but is totally usable. The conference/banquet rooms are in the basement. This is terrible. Although they're clean and nice, having an all day meeting down there makes you feel trapped. Three rather than two stars because the staff for the conference area was phenomenal. Everyone from the A/V guy to the banquet setup team was attentive and friendly. I was impressed. The food was also great. read more

They most definitely spent more time and money on the lobby than they did the rooms. This hotel does not offer a two queen room, they offer full size beds. And if you're sharing a bed with someone you don't want to spoon with, the size is not ideal. I also paid the upgrade price for a "bay view" but ended up with half bay, half hotel view because of the hotel being shaped like a U. Will not stay here again for the price I paid. The only good part about the hotel was the walking distance to Pike Place. read more

Convenient location to everything we wanted to see in Seattle with a wonderful view of the water. On the waterfront walkway (Alaskan Way), you can get to the aquarium and Ferris wheel on one side and Olympic Sculpture Park on the other. If you turn right at the OSP, it will take you to Seattle Center (Space Needle). The front desk told us to take an elevator at Lenore Street which made getting to Pike Place is a cinch too. We also enjoyed a great breakfast buffet at the restaurant in the lobby: Hook & Plow. read more

For $240 a night, you'd think parking and internet access might be included. Nope. They want $13 a day for not very speedy Internet access and, wait for it... $34 A DAY for parking. Aside from that, the water pressure in the shower was dismal and 2 out of the 4 days I was there, room service bypassed my room. I come to Seattle once a year to attend the Gnomedex Conference across the street at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center. Next year I'm staying at the Edgewater Hotel just down the street. read more

Polite staff, amazing views. VIP lounge well stocked. I enjoyed the experience and would certainly stay again.

I will stay here again. The location was great. Right next to the elevator that takes you to the street level where it is a short walk to Pike's Place Market. Stayed a night prior to a cruise the cruise terminal was rather close which gave us plenty of time in the morning to venture out for breakfast. The views were great. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was clean. Had a late night bite and a drink in the bar. The staff was friendly, the food was okay and the drinks were great. read more

My family has always used Marriotts for all of our hotel needs for business or vacation. During college football season we book all of our home games at the Marriott!! Not anymore, I called to get a reservation for the night before and the night returning from an Alaskan cruise in August. I called requesting two rooms for 4 people, was quoted $359/ per night per room. Who in their right mind would spend $1600 on two rooms for two nights! Last I checked there was not liquid gold flowing from the faucets! Absolutely ridiculous for a Marriott! You just lost our business for good. I will never be using the accumulated points in our account ever again. Lost a valued, long time returning customer for life! Will take my business elsewhere! read more

Beautiful, clean hotel and a friendly staff. My husbands sick and they just delivered a get well card with a tray of crackers, ginger ale and water. So sweet!! read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - View from our room - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have stayed at many Marriott's and carry a Platinum Elite status with Marriot. I booked my stay and showed up to park. ( I actually live in town but knew I was gonna be having fun in Belltown so decided to make it a night) The valet while very friendly is way overpriced ( use the parking garage 35 ft way which is $15 instead of the hotels $34 day) and is very very small which cause a frequent parking jam. So use the public parking garage. The hotel has great decor and the rooms are great. The Jr. Suite only cost me $159 / night for a Friday night. The bed and the sheets are the best part. After a long night out on the town its great to come back to a great bed with super soft sheets. The 50" Flat screen was a great surprise as well. The gym actually has nice treadmills and weights. The quality of a large size gym. My only complaint and what keeps it from 5 stars was that I was on the 7th floor and at 8 am on at Saturday morning they decided to start doing construction or whatever right above my room. read more

It's true what they say: It's all about location, location, location! I enjoyed my stay here even though it was only one night. We stayed here since it was SO CLOSE to the cruise ship area. We could see the ship from our hotel. This hotel is perfect for people coming off a cruise ship and those getting onto one. It's a very short walking distance however since it's in such a great location and is so convenient makes the room rates very expensive. Had we not gotten the rooms free due to points from a friend, staying there would have been very pricey for us. Rooms were great and the inside lobby area is very beautifully decorated with plenty of seating. read more

what GREAT hotel! My boyfriend and I went to Seattle for our anniversary and wanted to find a place centrally located to everything that we wanted to be near. This place was perfect! We had a great view of the water-- until the cruise ship came, but were impressed. Its right near Pikes Place, and we found the elevator after we climbed the flights of stairs a few times. Its a great location-- no need for a car and the bell stand will always help you with cabs and town cars onsite. The room was big and clean-- comfy bed and the biggest TV I think that I have ever seen in a hotel room. a few lost points in that all the vending machines in the whole hotel were vandalized and not fixed the whole weekend we were there-- no bottled water for us unless we went to the front desk and asked for them to go into the gift shop if they were closed. And they got our billing wrong 2x- but finally was resolved! Just make sure you review your receipt if you are using any special offers or incentives the Marriott has running. read more

Note: I was a guest here for a work-related breakfast awards event. I was not an overnight guest, nor did I pay for any services or food. The atmosphere in the lobby is top notch, as is the decor and staffing at the front desk. Very warm and inviting, hospitable for 7 a.m. Plenty of nooks in the lobby and foyer to read a book, sit by a fire, and enjoy a warm beverage from the lobby coffee bar. The location is very nice if you want to use it as a jumping off point to explore the waterfront and see things along Alaskan Way and even possibly take a cruise, ferry, or watertaxi somewhere. There's a lot within walking distance: Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium, misc. shops and restaurants. Not so great a location if you are going to spend a lot of time in DT Seattle or touring other parts of the city. There are other hotels that might be closer to where you'd want to be if you want to be in the heart of Downtown Seattle. This one though likely has fantastic upper level room views of the Puget Sound and sunsets. If you drive here the parking is valet only and it costs $29 a day with unlimited ins/outs. Sounds good, however, if you're in a conference like I was, when everyone gets out for the day, there's a mad dash to claim your vehicle. There is a parking garage a few blocks away that is less costly and also on-street pay parking (2 hour limit?) is available I believe for $1.50 an hour and the pay stations take plastic. If you walk or bike here, watch out for the adjacent railroad right in front of the west side of the building (oh yeah -- I think this is an active rail line just a few feet from the west side of the building... something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to noise). If you're with kids, elderly, or drunks, watch out for trains! I gave three stars because I feel what service I did get was pretty good, however, the food was average, and the conference room PA system was OK but not outstanding. The decor was very high end and bright lighting and warm atmosphere -- it impressed me enough that I'd consider coming back as an overnight guest just so we could spend all day hanging out at the waterfront, especially if it's a great sunny warm summer day and evening. read more

I have stayed at the Marriott on the waterfront 4 or 5 times. Its a nice hotel. Nothing spectacular fancy about it but the room is nice. Bed was great, nice TV, noise wasn't too bad after it got quiet at night but I stayed there on a Sunday each time. You should valet because parking isn't going to work out if you don't. Plenty of great dining in the area, I have also had room service and was pleased. I had a bone in rib eye and some really good mashed potatoes with asparagus. I don't see the name of the restaurant that made the food on the hotel information any longer so hopefully that didn't change. read more

nice hotel on waterfront but hell no is this a 7 star hotel this should be a 4 star, if that the lobby i nice, casual, have umbrellas ready for u if you dont have one which we found out after getting soaked but staff is freiendly and rooms/hotel is just as good as any other marriott view aint too shabby either read more

Just stayed for a night before hitting the cruise docks, and couldn't have asked for a better place. Granted, as soon as we dropped off our bags, we flew out of there to go enjoy the city. (I cannot fathom why anyone would spend time in a hotel bar or restaurant if that hotel is located in a town like Seattle. Kankakee, Illinois? Definitely. But not Seattle. I'll pay for overpriced double shots at Matt's, not Marriott.) After rambling around, we returned to the roost and were treated to a thoroughly restful night's sleep. (Lest you think that I'm too 5-star happy, I direct you to my trove of 1-star reviews. Seattle is most excellent, to me!) The bed is comfy, and yes I guess the sheets are nice. The bathroom was clean and spacious. We had a room up on a higher floor so we didn't have too much noise from the road below. We also had a fabulous view of the bay. All in all, a big thumbs up. read more

This is place is hopping with tourist. Crowded yet fun. Lots of choices to eat, sight see and shop. A big construction project is underway to make it more pedestrian friendly. The Seattle Aquarium is located here too and although not very impressive, a nice spot to spend a hour to two. read more

This is a GREAT spot if you are traveling through or visiting Seattle without a car! It's very close to lots of things. Within walking distance to: -Waterfront (duh) -Pioneer Square (20 min walk) -Pike Place Market (7 min walk) -Seattle Aquarium (3 min walk) -Downtown Shopping (12 min walk) We stayed here for several nights and loved the easy walking distance proximity, but also the great customer service, bell hop service, to-go cafe/coffeeshop, hotel bar and the attached restaurant. There is also a Starbucks literally across the driveway, so really everything you need is covered. From SEA-TAC, you can take the lightrail train in and walk about 7 blocks to the hotel, not too bad as long as it isn't raining. read more

You really can't beat the location of this hotel. It's right on the waterfront, thus its name, and you just take some stairs or elevator up, walk a couple blocks, and you're at Pike Place. The lobby is really clean, big, and nice, and they offer plenty of comfy seating with outlets. We upgraded to a water view room, and while the room was clean enough, we could hear every time the person in the room next to us opened and closed their door. The bathroom was also on the small side. The cable in our tv was also spotty, we'd have to turn the tv on and off a few times before it actually started working. These were all little things though. The room was comfy, had a great view, and they gave us free wi-fi upon check in. Everytime we interacted with the front desk, they were more than friendly and very helpful. We probably won't stay here again, as there are other hotels that I'd like to try, but we had a great experience here. read more

Loved the view from Room 702. The room is only for two people, the bed is comfortable, and although its not very big, the full 180 degree waterfront room view of Puget Sound is awesome. The down stairs restaurant is good for breakfast. The one heated pool is both indoor and outdoor, so swimming is not a problem on cold or rainy days. The hotel gym is kind of small but has enough equipment to get sweaty. We were offered an complimentary breakfast at their hidden upstairs hotel cafeteria for their Marriott rewards card members, but we overslept and missed it. At 10 am the buffet table was emptied out. So arrive early if you are treated to one. I recommend getting there before 9 am if you're a late riser, but even earlier if you're not. Even so, it looks like they don't refill buffet trays when they go low, so wake up and get there early to have the freshest selection. I would definately stay again in this hotel. Its only a 10 minute walk to Pikes Place. We were staying overnight at this hotel, to go on a Carnival cruise. The ships port was a bit farther than we realized, but the hotel staff arranged for a shuttle ride to the port, and we saved a little money getting a shuttle ride there compared to taking a taxi service. Never heard any noise from this room (702), and even though its a little pricey, I recommend staying there, you won't regret it. read more

This review is not for the Hotel, it is for Marshall at the Hook and Plow Bar. He is a Chemist by trade and a Mixologist by talent. He made me the best Old Fashioned I have had in my life. I don't even like Old Fashioneds. I went back 3 nights in a row for them. We tried a few drinks and everything he made was spot on. Check him out! read more

First: this hotel is PRICEY! At $270 a night, this is not exactly affordable room rates. While the hotel was most definitely upscale(granite counters in bathroom, feather pillows and comforter, fancy tiling and decorations) I really don't think it's worth this much unless you plan on hopping on board a cruise ship the following day. That being said, I loved the feather pillows and comforter. Upon making a reservation, you can actually choose how firm you want your pillow to be. Customer service was generally quick, and the room was spacious. The shampoo/lotion stuff were actually Bath&Body Works stuff, so while the cleaning power was dubious at least you smell nice =P Probably the two best things about this hotel is that it's located up the street from Pike Place Market, and across the street from some of the cruise terminals. But oh! Do I miss the feather bedding! read more

Great location and lovely views of the water...or neighbors since the hotel is sort of "horse shoe" shaped. Excellent customer service and the staff was very helpful with assisting with our needs. Loved the bar. It was quite cozy with friendly people and a bartender that wasn't afraid to joke around with us. You are within walking distance to any location on the waterfront and won't mind it if the weather is nice. This is a very nice hotel, but very expensive and you will pay for everything...including the $5 water! Yeah, leave that on the desk and go to the lobby where they have a station set up. They do have valet parking, but there is also a garage next door which you'll probably find a lot cheaper. Expensive, but I'll be back because the customer service here is excellent. I appreciate having a staff that smiles and greets you without looking like it's forced. read more

Location, location, location! I used to live in Seattle and had relatives who stayed here when visiting. I chose to use Marriott points to stay here on a recent 1 night visit in Seattle. I love the location - right off the water, walking distance to nearly anything, including many restaurants and shops along the pier as well as the downtown area. Check-in was quick, despite a very busy, crowded lobby. We had a standard room with two beds - the beds were super comfy. I would definitely stay here again! read more

What could have been a terrible experience, was turned around by the excellent staff at this hotel. I will say, when you do online check in, the room you select is only a "request." Which I find annoying. I found myself asking for a room with a king bed, and upon check-in, was told, "It was only a request" and was given a room with 2 double beds. Considering this reservation was a romantic surprise for my boyfriend, I was a bit upset. I checked into the double bed room, and left. Later, I called the front desk, explained that it was a surprise for the boyfriend, and was there anything they could do about the room. A nice lady on the phone said she would do what she could, but made no promises. A few minutes later she called back, and let me know they had moved our stuff to another room, and to stop by the front desk upon our return, and pick up the updated keys. When we got to the room, we also found a card, a bottle of wine, and a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries. I am SO pleased with the staff at this hotel, I will book with them the next time I have need to stay on the water. The view was amazing, the staff was amazing. I can't thank them enough. read more

I am a loyal Gold Elite Marriott Member and your contracted valet company at the Seattle Waterfront damaged the rims on my rental car vehicle. That valet company, Towne Park, has refused to take accountability of the damage and would not provide proof or video footage. I contacted Marriott by email for help and was told there's nothing they can do about it because it's not their valet company. As a member for over 10 years, this is horrible way to treat your loyal members. An overnight stay at one of your best hotels in Seattle was supposed to be a trip to relieve anxiety yet it has done the opposite. I am now being charged almost $500 for damage that YOUR contracted valet company did. And at $55 per night? I assumed Marriott Valet can be trusted at that high rate! You're only good at taking money and don't care to help your customers when contractors YOU hired damage property. I expected so much more from Marriott! read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - Rim Damage - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Awesome location. And that's where the awesomeness stopped. The rooms were beat up..stains on bed skirt...hair on toilet seat. The refrigerator smelled terrible. My husband and I had just come home from dinner out and were talking in our room. We had a knock on our door at 10:30 telling us we had complaints from neighbors "the partying was too loud"... and if they (security) had to come back, we would be kicked out. Mind you it was a Friday night and we had NO music, NO TV, and NO alcohol... we were having a conversation. For $350/night??? What a joke! And surprise--ABSOLUTELY no follow up regarding our complaint sent to corporate. Awesome... read more

I've travelled quite a bit for work, which is how I came to choose the waterfront hotel as the place to use my hotel points. It's not a cheap hotel, and it's not cheap to redeem points to stay here, either. They knew my points level and they knew we were points redeemed, and they still stuck us in a 2nd floor room right above the road. The pipes are so old the toilet on the first floor barely flushed. I complained, and was upgraded for the second night to a higher level room -- the rooms are tiny, but nice enough, but the toilet in the second room actually clogged on toilet paper, and there was no plunger in the room. Seriously, if you know your pipes are so old the toilet clogs at the slightest breeze, shouldn't you give your guests the preparation they need?? Just not that great an experience. It would be fine if it weren't so damned expensive, but I expected much better for the price. read more
