    Very nice bathroom
    Mike L.

    You'll have to be reminded sometime that Human error will happen and It's nothing you should take personal. Just bring to the person's attention and let things get straightened out and go back to normal. So this week I've got to stay at one of my favorite Marriott properties. Because of long waits and willing to take the lesser room the check in person at the front desk, Lillian bestowed me on some small parks to make up for my inconvenience. The next day I had to come down to get new keys and that little park was taken away by the gentleman at the front desk, Robert or Roger or whatever his name was. I brought it to the attention of the manager, Tate. I was not looking to get anything back or anything else. Just thought it was very petty the way it was handled. Later on during that day, there was a phone call from Tate at my room where she had removed a charge for the inconvenience of what it happened during my stay. First off I want to let everybody know that this hotel is phenomenal in every way. The rooms are very nice. The lounge and bar area is open and fun and just about all the staff that I interacted with were 10 out of 10 as far as customer service is concerned. If you decide to take a cruise in Seattle area, I don't think you could find a better hotel to start or finish your cruise at. Thank you Tate for restoring my faith and Lillian for being so good at making guests feeling welcomed. Also to bartender Matt for doing such a great job with a busy bar area over the weekend.

    Lovely hotel right by the waterfront. It's at a convenient location to the piers and Pike Place Market. Just be aware there are lots ups and downs when walking outside (outdoor elevators and stairs available). We got an upgrade from Marriott Bonvoy member. The corner suite has a fantastic view of the river and mountains. King size bed is comfortable. Extra pillows in the closet. A balcony to sit and hangout. Shower water pressure is a little low but temperature is good. The room provides necessary items: body wash shampoo conditioner lotion hairdryer tv fridge coffee station. The hotel features pool, fitness center, M lounge (Marriott members). The breakfast served in the lounge is not bad, eggs potatoes bacons tea coffee fruit breads (M-F). Weekend they gave us vouchers to the on site restaurant. Pool splited indoor and outdoor. Water temp is warm enough for me to get it. Towels provided. Staff were all nice and friendly. Smiley faces everywhere. Highly recommend for the family or even solo travelers who want a convenient location.

    For my birthday, we stayed at this hotel after a train trip to Seattle. We were very pleased with our stay for several nights. Our stay was welcoming due to the kind staff at the front desk and in the M club. There was a young gentlemen, unfortunately I did not catch his name, who was very personal- I appreciate his touch- and his welcome. Plus checking on us as we came down the next day after checking in within the lobby. The hotel is located directly across the waterfront. And a short walk to Pike's market which make it a very convenient stay. Without traffic it approximately a ten minute drive to the train station and twenty minutes to the airport. As we are ambassadors with Marriott- we were treated to some excellent rooms. Our first room had wall to wall windows that overlooked the waterfront and the ferris wheel on the 8th floor. A perfect room. When asked if we wanted an even better room, I was hesitative- but we accepted the offer and received another room that had a living room in addition to the bedroom with three balconies. The beds in both rooms were very comfy. Unfortunately in both rooms there were not bath tubs but nice showers. And of course lovely views of the waterfront. We also appreciated the nice welcome gift provided to us that included wine and chocolate. The only negative was that the indoor/outdoor pool was not open during our stay. The pool is an indoor-outdoor pool that overlooks the waterfront. Also we we wished the breakfast had better food options. We did enjoy the sweets in the M club though.

    Another great Bonvoy stay! Beautiful room, I recommend one with a balcony, the hotel was busy and I had to wait for my room but it was worth it, the staff was helpful and accommodating. Valet car service was quick. If you want a central location near the water this might be the best choice. It was also fun seeing the cruise ships pull up

    Went to a visit to Seattle before and after my cruise to Alaska. This is a convenient location because it's right next to one of the cruise ship ports. A quick walk across the street and you're in the middle of all the action ! Pike place, the aquarium, gum wall all within walking distance from the hotel. There is no hotel parking though. You will only have to valet if you drive here. The staff is amazing so you feel safe in this hotel. Also the bedding is sooo comfy. As with all Marriott properties. Can't wait to stay here again.

    It deservedly earns a 5 star review. This hotel is across the street from Pier 66. I couldn't have asked for a better location. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. I know people complain about having to walk up hills from this location. I get it. Just be aware that there are a couple of different routes you can take with stairs and elevators that make that upward incline bearable. There's one at the Bell Street Bridge, and another one at Waterfront Park. We checked into the hotel around 1pm with a check-in time of 4pm. The room was actually ready for us. Can you believe that? They do charge a destination fee which includes a $20 discount toward hotel resraurants and a box of local chocolates from Maeve of Seattle. It pays for itself. Our corner waterfront king room was spacious & clean. I could tell that it was recently renovated. I'm glad I didn't judge a book by its cover on this one. The exterior of the hotel looks very old. On a brighter note, they do have M Club access for platinum elite and above. I think you can pay for access as well. We woke up to a great view of the Norwegian Bliss cruise ship. Not so shabby for a pre-cruise stay. Our buffet breakfast at Hook & Plow was a great experience as well. Walking to the cruise terminal to board the cruise ship was so easy. Everything worked out perfectly. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

    We stayed here the night before leaving on our Alaskan cruise. It was the PERFECT location. Walk out the front door & right across the street to the pier. No need for additional cab rides or transfers. Just sleep on and cross the street when you're ready. Besides location, the hotel room was nice, great views of the waterfront, comfortable bed with nice linens, and a large bathroom. All very clean. We also received a nice welcome gift, a box shaped like a cruise ship with local chocolates. I'd definitely stay here again if in the area. 2025-33

    Wasn't sure what to expect from reading other reviews. We had a great stay. Room was clean, had a great waterfront view. The lounge was stocked with water, coffee, sodas. We didn't visit for happy hour but did see wine and beer in the coolers. Centrally located to walk the city. A few blocks from great restaurants and the market.

    Really good drinks! Little pricey though.
    Tristan H.

    The hotel is great, but dang... the little bar/restaurant called HOOK & PLOW that they have in the first floor had THE BEST FOOD MY GIRLFRIEND AND I HAVE EVER HAD IN WASHINGTON... it was that good, folks. The pizza was THE BEST WE'VE HAD. Also, the fish & chips were SO GOOD. Bartender and waiter were really nice too!

    Balcony view looking towards Miner's Landing

    This location alone gets a 6 out of 5! With the new pedestrian walkway and revamped Alaska Way, this hotel is now a prime spot to visit the Seattle Waterfront and Pike Place. From check-in, the valet staff were super friendly and kind. Since I am a Bonvoy Elite member, I was upgraded to a balcony water view room from the standard room I had booked. There is a resort fee, but that includes two tickets to the Wings over Washington experience at Miner's landing. These tickets were easily worth the cost of the resort fee. Plus you get a dining credit as well, but we didn't use that as we went out to dinner in town. The M Lounge is very nice and well stocked with sodas, a fancy coffee machine, and evening snacks. We got there just as things were wrapping up, but the staff inside were able to find us a couple pieces of dessert to enjoy with some coffee. The hotel has been remodeled since the last time we were here. Rooms are sleek and modern, and the bathroom was upgraded with a large walk in shower with glass door. Thank you for the bottles of water and welcome chocolates! Absolutely loved our time here at the hotel. No doubt, we'll be back again to enjoy more time at the Seattle waterfront area.

    Stayed here the night before our Alaskan Cruise. Place was conveniently located right across the street from where we were to board the ship. A little pricey but that is what you have to pay for the location convenience.

    Pike Place Market, a few minutes walk from hotel

    This hotel was... fine. Excellent valet experience every time; front desk personnel, however, were not particularly friendly or welcoming-- often seemed irritated when approached with questions. If you don't have access to the M Lounge, there is no complimentary coffee downstairs, which was a disappointment considering the price of this hotel. Fabulous location, very walkable to the key tourist destinations in downtown and shopping. Nice view of the water and ferris wheel.

There's only a small area for parking in front of the hotel and it's also the spot for Valet. You'll likely have to post up in the travel lane to check in or drop off your car. The hotel has some unique amenities but I wasn't able to use them for such a short stay. The King corner room far exceeded my expectations. It's spacious and felt pretty luxurious. The star of the room is the soaking tub. It's deep and the water is hot. I especially liked that there's a separate shower. The workspace is nice and there are plenty of plugs for everything. The Nespresso comes stocked and is free to use. The mini bar, not so much, and it's pretty pricy. The bed. THE BED! If I could have brought it home with me I would have. It's lush and it smelled good. Like fresh dryer sheets good. I don't think I've ever said that about a hotel bed before. If you need a firm bed you won't like this one. I didn't have much interaction with the staff but when I did it was pleasant. I am definitely staying here again.

They did check us in at 2pm and we had requested to be put in a room with a good view but we were put in the worst possible room. I also got injured so we're having to spend the last night indoors so I'm specially bummed. Next thing was the shower pressure, I had a wound so it was rough. We couldn't control the shower pressure and it was very very strong, the shower was very unpleasant. Anyways, I can't blame it all on the hotel but having asked for a hotel with a good view and gotten an acknowledgement saying they'd do what they could and having gown the worst possible room...it has left us with a bad taste. $500+ for this view is very disappointing.

    I had a great stay at The Sound Hotel Seattle Belltown and would definitely consider staying here…read moreagain. I booked it partly because it's part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, so I could earn and redeem Hilton Honors points. That was a huge plus since I was visiting during the World Cup and hotel prices were absolutely wild: close to $800 a night if I had paid out of pocket! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. There was a bellman opening the door, everyone we interacted with was friendly and accommodating, and it was always easy to grab an Uber right outside the hotel. One feature I really liked was the little pantry in the lobby. It's basically a self-service convenience store stocked with local candy, snacks, wine, beer, and other treats. You scan everything yourself and can charge it directly to your room, which was super convenient. We used our HHonors stay credit to buy a small bottle of Washington State wine and some local chocolates. The hotel has a really fun music theme throughout, and the design is modern with a Scandinavian-inspired feel. As a Gen Xer, I thought the vibe was just plain cool without trying too hard. Our standard King room had huge windows, a spacious sitting area, and clean, minimalist European-style décor that felt fresh and comfortable. The hotel itself was also surprisingly quiet despite being located in an urban area, so we slept really well. The only disappointment was our view. It wasn't much to look at. I was secretly hoping for an upgrade, but no luck. Not a deal breaker, just a minor letdown considering one side of the hotel affords perfect views of the Space Needle. The location is excellent for sightseeing on foot. We walked to Pike Place Market in about 10 minutes, and the Space Needle was also around a 10 minute walk in the opposite direction. Just be prepared for Seattle's hills! They're no joke, and you'll be going up and down some very, very steep streets to get to the waterfront. There are also plenty of great restaurants, bars, shops, and coffee shops within easy walking distance. One thing I'd mention is that while we felt comfortable during the day, after dinner around 10:45 p.m. we decided to take an Uber back from the Pike Place Market area instead of walking back to the hotel because parts of the area felt a little sketchy at night. Seattle has a very serious problem with drug users and unhoused folks, and they can get a little scary. I feel so badly for them, but I also felt a lot safer in an Uber than trying to walk back in the downtown area that late at night. The Sound is a stylish, comfortable hotel with excellent service, a great location, and a fun personality. If you're a Hilton Honors member, it's an especially solid choice when Seattle hotel prices are high.

The front desk had a room available for me a little earlier than normal check-in and had wonderful suggestions for a little snack around the hotel. The room is much more spacious than pictures can show. I really enjoyed the two separate seating areas. The window area settee was the perfect place for a snack and using my laptop to prepare for the next day. The closet has more than just two hangers, which I appreciated being able to hang the clothes that needed to be hung and steamed later. The bed was soft, but not overly so and the charging options on the nightstand helped me keep some of my electronics packed and neat. Being in Downtown Seattle, I really didn't feel like I needed a car. The Sound is situated in a great place to just walk where I needed to go. Less than five minutes away from Westlake where I could catch either the monorail or Link, was very convenient for me. I enjoy walking around to get familiar with the area I'm in and there was so much to see!!! I will be back to The Sound for my next Seattle adventure!

Our last two nights of our journey were spent in Seattle at the Shafer Baillie mansion. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was great for getting to downtown and all around. It is close to the Cap Hill neighborhood with shops and restaurants. There is plenty of street parking in the vicinity. The mansion itself is part of what was known as Millionaire's Row. It was built in 1914 and has been well cared for over the years. When we came back from one evening out, we all gathered in the Library and set up some charcuterie and wine to share from our travels. It was so cozy sitting all together and chatting about our adventures. The rooms are historic with modern conveniences. Our room was the Queen Ann Hill. We slept soundly in our comfortable 4 poster bed. There was a helpful step stool for me to climb up as I am vertically challenged. It has original pushbotton light switches. It had a beautiful full length mirror. There was a flatscreen TV, but we had so many wonderful activities we did not use it. The bathroom was updated but still fit with the historic look. There were two showerheads in the tiled shower. Breakfast was lovely. I, personally, have a great deal of food allergies. There was ample selection that I was able to enjoy just as much as anyone else. There were breads and pastries, jams and spreads, yogurt and fresh berries, and a hot breakfast dish. Hard boiled eggs were available as well as cheeses and meats. There was a coffee bar that was available all day that also had tea and cocoa. We sat at the long dining table enjoying each others company and conversation. We got to meet some of the other guests which added to the experience. If we find ourselves back in Seattle, this is where I will want to stay.

The greeters always opened the door for me, the check-in desk staff were courteous and always had a smile, and the checkout process was also quick and ended with an invitation to return to the property the next time I'm in Seattle. As soon as I stepped out of my Uber upon initial arrival, a staff member walked up to open my door and asked if I needed help with my bags. My room was comfortable in every aspect. The temperature controls worked great, the bed was very comfortable and had an adequate number of pillows, the bathroom was well-appointed, and everything was very clean. The bath towels were large, soft, and plush. The frosted door to the water closet was a nice touch for the sake of privacy if you were sharing the space with someone. The shower was not huge but it was more than adequately spacious for me. There were 2 robes hung in the bathroom (though I didn't use them). The small table and chairs near the window were convenient and comfortable to work from. The view from my room was very nice, especially during clear days when you can see the water and the mountains in the distance. The room was always well maintained after the typical morning cleaning as well as during turn down service. I appreciated the staff placing slippers by the bed and how they always nicely arranged my toiletries in the bathroom, replaced used towels with fresh ones, and even placed things on the table in the bedroom (like my charger, earbud case, eyeglass case, and so on) neatly for when I returned. The bar area at the back of the restaurant was a nice little area and had a table large enough for our group of around 8-10 to comfortably sit at while enjoying a nightcap. My breakfast the day I checked out was also high quality and my server Nathan was pleasant, timely, and honest about prep time of some items I wanted to order but was constricted due to a time crunch. In general, every staff member I encountered was pleasant, eager to help, and always smiled and made eye contact when speaking with me. All in all, I had a wonderful experience and have no complaints. This property is one of the top 2-3 Four Seasons hotels I have stayed at over the past several years. I would wholeheartedly stay here again!
