My partner and I have been staying here a couple of times a year for over a decade. We have zero interest in staying anywhere else. It's clean and classy. Every room is uniquely stylish with zero tacky! So what if the waffles are gone get over it and go pig out at the bakery cafe across the street. Also Cyclops is downstairs and they have the best veggie burgers ever. The staff here are always wonderful. On this stay we were lucky to meet Brandon and Christina. Just the best peeps. Just so friendly charismatic and beyond helpful. It's less and less common nowadays to feel like anyone in the public service industry really cares anymore. Brandon helped me book a great room kind of last minute which I appreciate. The front desk folks are irreplaceable I look forward to a future visit

PARKING TIPS: Street parking only however it wasn't a particularly difficult process to navigate. Here's how it works. Parking is free from 8pm to 8am. You pay via the PayByPhone app which is very easy to use (it informs you of how much time you have left and you can easily add via 15 minute increments). It's really cheap (50 cents for 1 hour). The limit is 4 hours though. However, the limit seems to only matter within the app as it won't let you add $ and go over 4 hours. We let the 4 hours expire and immediately started another session at the same exact location. It worked fine as I don't think parking enforcement is marking your tires or anything. At 8am, we also started another session in the same exact spot so the car sat there for like 16+ hours. If you're nervous about it, just plan to park your car at 4pm or after so that you're within the 4 hour limit once the free evening parking hits at 8pm. A hotel employee also said she doesn't think enforcement is too stringent so as long as you're paid, I wouldn't worry too much about how long the car has been sitting there. HOTEL: Super cute boutique hotel. I loved their plant-filled lobby. It's a bit difficult to find from the outside as it blends into its surroundings and doesn't really look like a hotel. CHECK-IN: Simple and friendly. Just a heads up, they have minimal front desk service. I believe they left at 5pm which is really early. This is the sort of hotel where you get a front door key in addition to your room key. Thus, if you are getting there later, you have to make alternate arrangements. The hotel was really good at reaching out to me after booking to inquire regarding my check-in time. ROOM: Minimalist but cute and trendy. We even had a little patio! Comfortable bed. We were warned that the hot water would take a bit to get going due to the current limited capacity. It did take a little bit but once it got going, it was very hot. My one complaint would be that the heaters didn't work too well and it was a bit cold in the room. LOCATION: Belltown is a pretty cool area where you are within walking distance to bars/restaurants. Also really close to Pike Place Market. We got there as the lockdown restrictions were being tightened and it was pretty apocalyptic. In the early evening, very few restaurants were still open and the only people on the streets were homeless. Saw broken car windows and clearly mentally ill homeless folks. Honestly didn't feel very safe at all. I'm sure it's a temporary status quo during the lockdown but just a heads up.

Hotel room

Very friendly staff, clean facilities, and a tasty breakfast included. Also a great location! This is probably the most I've ever paid for a night at a hotel... so that's probably just the local economy, but it still seemed odd that it would be so expensive and you still have to share a bathroom. Regardless, the bathrooms were clean and it didn't matter all that much. I only went down a star because the windows don't do a lot for sound control, and my room was along what seemed like a busy city street. I heard trucks unloading throughout the night. Otherwise great.

Very trendy, hip and quaint hotel. Seattle Ace Hotel was the first Ace Hotel location. Was very hard to find, does not appear like your ordinary hotel from the exterior. They offer covered parking at $45 or you can choose to do street parking which runs from 8 am - 8 pm through a park and pay service that charges roughly around $1/hour depending on the date/time that you park. The rooms have the best pillows I have ever used in my entire life, I plan on buying a set online when I get home ($120/2 pillows). The room did not have body lotion or a mini bar. Other than that, everything was great! I even had a view of the water. Not a bad rate either for downtown Seattle!

We stayed at the Ace the night before our cruise to Alaska. I choose it because it was listed on one of those "Ten Best Hotels Near the Cruise ship pier" lists. After searching the internet and seeing the brick building, I decided to go for it. What a pleasure! Our arrival time was hours before check in, but that was OK because we were able to store our luggage, then walk the 10 minutes to Pike's Place. When we did check in, I was delighted with our room. Super clean and decorated in an industrial style, our room featured a great view of Elliot Bay! The owners have left the beautiful architectural details alone, and modernized where needed. (The hotel was built in 1910) The room was full of thoughtful details: a mimi fridge, handmade ceramic cups, monogrammed bathrobes, etc. The location is perfect, too! Like I said we were close to Pike's place. The Ace is close to a wide variety of other restaurants, including a mini mart across the street. If you stay at the the Ace, you won't be sorry. Enjoy!

Make your own waffle! We got full off all of this, really good :)

Really good hotel for a weekend trip. Great location. The breakfast room was great! It has great views of the water. The deluxe rooms are a good size and very cozy. If you need a place for a few days, I recommend this one.

While looking for affordable hotels for a last minute trip to Seattle, I came across Ace Hotel. I absolutely loved our stay here! A lot of people question why this place has such high ratings, but keep in mind that it is a "2 star" hotel. It's not supposed to be ultra luxurious. The location was convenient. Every room is unique. The hotel felt safe, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was nice. I think that's what's important. It kinda felt like living in a dorm, minus all the loud noises. I loved the free breakfast and the waffle maker (even though a stranger had to help me make mine LOL). Pros: - The (free!) wi-fi was quick enough for me to browse through facebook and watch Netflix on my iPad. - The beds and bed sets were super clean and comfy. - Very welcoming and knowledgable staff. - Great breakfast & free beverages (OJ, milk, coffee) - Free stationery in the lobby. Cute postcard! - Every room is unique and it makes you want to visit and see 'em all Cons: I really wish I could give this place 5 stars, but let's just say that my room wasn't fully cleaned upon arrival. During my last day staying here, I had my outfit laid out on the bed and my socks rolled off. As I went to pick it up, I noticed something that wasn't mine under the bed. Gross! I notified the front desk before I left and hopefully it was taken care of.. :)

Sparkling clean hotel room, great stay for a few nights. Very close to great restaurants that are taking COVID precautions. Excellent service with minimal contact. No breakfast due to COVID, however we were given great recommendations. No on-site parking, plenty of street parking at a minimal cost. Would recommend.

Perfect for the budget traveler - close to most downtown attractions, plus the space needle and Olympic sculpture park. The shared bathrooms were sparkling clean, and since they are actually separate single baths, did not feel shared at all. Love that they give you robes! I could use shower shoes but beggars can't be choosy! Free breakfast, coffee, and WiFi, but no parking or affordable lot access through the hotel.

A trip involving staying at Ace Hotel is always the most memorable ones-let alone coming the original Ace Hotel in Seattle where it all started. Historical building, Pacific Northwest + Belltown vibes, curated robes, furniture, cups, retro telephone , stereo system and fan.......and the famously comfortable beddings-every Ace Hotel is unique. Never again will your travel log be blurry from one Marriot to another. Yes you may not have the latest and greatest conveniences, but you already have those at home, don't you? Those who travel well leave behind their worldly belongings and standards and come to immerse in the local scene will love this Tiny hotel up the hill just at the edge of Pike Place. The continental breakfast (ready before 6am!) was awesome with non-dairy and keto options! My jaw dropped when I found out the Organic eggs were from the owner's own farm. The breakfast probably made this my favorite Ace hotel

The bathroom door is a swiveling wall.

If it were possible to marry I hotel I would have swooped in on the Ace Hotel in Seattle this weekend. That's also provided my current husband didn't mind sharing me with a hotel? Whoa. This review is really taking a turn toward the naughty... Moving on... Staying at any Ace Hotel is like staying at your super hip friend's studio in the best neighborhood of the city. There is nothing at this place that makes you feel like you're in a hotel which I enjoy. Keep in mind though this isn't a luxury 5 star kind of place. It can be a tad bit drafty and the raucous crowds on the street will be heard through your windows if you're facing the street side of the building. BUT. The beds are oh-so cozy. The comforters are oh-so-warm. The staff is oh-so-friendly. And you really do feel crazy cool in the rooms, the check-in area or any of the work areas as well. The coolest part of my stay might have been the continental breakfast. I know, I know. It sounds kind of lame, but this continental breakfast has a waffle maker and pre-mixed waffle batter that you pour into said maker and flip to turn a timer on. 2 minutes and 27 seconds later you're pouring maple syrup on the Belgian waffle you just created with minimal effort. I am a sucker for novelty and this thing hit it out of the park. Also included in this breakfast is Stumptown coffee, fruit, yogurt, granola, and fresh-squeezed juices. Holla!. And I lied - the coolest thing about my stay was my bathroom. Check out this picture to see what I mean: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rMIdBB6Eb9U3oRRR2kFb5w?select=9Be1xVl4fRpYQFz3VVy1rA So cool, right?

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.

Also went to a free yoga class in one of the conferene rooms . . . nice little perk but the lights were too bright and the instructor did not know how to turn down the bright lights (not quite yoga mood). Gym location is not great - below basement so it's small and without any natural light. Because I often use Hyatt points, I find I am usually placed in a room very close to and facing another building/ parking garage . . . making the room very dark and without any view. Sigh . . . so make sure to ask the front desk if you can get a room that doesn't face another building that feels like it's 8 feet away. Arel was kind enough to take the time to find me a better room that was available the next day. Thank you!

Belltown

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 Hotel occupies the first 10 floors of the ARRIVE Building where the floors above are dedicated to the residents and they share the common areas with the hotel guests. Upon arriving at the front desk, I checked in and was told the room would be ready shortly but it was more like 4 hours later. I found the front desk staff to be professional but not very friendly. There is a lounge area on the 7th floor with a bar and indoor / outdoor seating. At night it is particularly nice because there is an electric fire pit with great seating and view of the Space Needle. Again, the bar staff was professional but not very welcoming. The room we stayed in was a corner room but it only had one windows on one wall so the room stayed pretty dark. It was comfortable and cool with very good bedding. The bathroom was great and it even had a heated floor. Check-out was okay eventhough they had to adjust our bill because we were not credited our Hilton Honors credit for both of us in the room which took a while. It seems that the ride share car services wait outside the hotel on cruise ship mornings so getting a car takes only a minute or two. I would stay at this property again with hopes for a more welcoming staff.

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!

This hotel is an excellent choice for those wanting to stay in a waterfront property that's walkable to the cruise terminal as well. Though Four Seasons is not the most cost effective option for a comfortable hotel in downtown Seattle, I highly recommend this hotel based on my recent experience in June 2025. Where to start.... Location, location, location! The hotel is literally a block away from the entrance to Pike Place Market where you can spend days shopping, snacking, and enjoying the views of the water. The views from the hotel room are breathtaking as the Great Wheel (Ferris wheel) and Aquarium are just a few minutes away by foot. From the Four Seasons, we were able to walk to Chinatown in under 30 min (you can also take the train just 2 stops down) and Seattle Center where the Space Needle is located is also walkable and also accessible via monorail. The staff greets you at the door every time you enter and exit, and the lobby is full of surprises like premium coffee and tea in the mornings and a candy bar in the afternoon. Every time our room was serviced, it was done to perfection and then some. The chat function on the app was amazing as I was able to make requests and ask questions with ease. Responses were close to immediate. At the front desk and concierge, staff are also very friendly and treated us with respect and honor. They also provided great advice for food and sightseeing options close by. They never tried to sell me stuff where they would make money off of it. I could go on and on, but I have to say that my family's experience was extremely memorable, and if I could give this place 6 stars, I would. If you're looking for the optimal location for breathtaking views, seconds away from Pike Place Market, and still walkable to the Space Needle, Chinatown, the Convention Center, etc., this is it, y'all!
