The views are beautiful from the living room, kitchen, and bedroom and the fireplace is incredibly cozy for a winter stay. Penny was an amazing host. I ended up bringing all of my dinners back because she stocked the kitchen full of fresh bread, fruit, pastries, and fridge full of breakfast foods with recipes. We ended up with breakfast for dinner and still couldn't eat everything. This was the perfect stay, so I will definitely be back next year.

There was a personalized note waiting for me with chocolate chip cookies and fresh flowers. The owners did an outstanding job of providing a perfect experience.

I will say I never wanted to leave, and will absolutely stay here again. The perfect peaceful retreat to recharge! Thank you!

Unfortunately, there were a few issues with my stay. The bathroom and bed sheets were not clean…read morewhen I checked in. There was a significant amount of hair on the pillowcase as well as on the sheet underneath. It didn't seem like the room had been prepared at all for our stay, and I'm unsure if the sink, toilet, and shower had been properly cleaned and sanitized. I was also quoted $187 over the phone and understood that to be the total price. I didn't have an option to book online since the google listing stated that I need to call the hotel directly to book. When I checked the charges the morning after, I noticed additional taxes had been added, which came out to an additional $30. Since I was specifically comparing prices in the area and was considering another option that was less than $187 including taxes, knowing the full price upfront would have affected my decision. It felt dishonest and wouldn't stay here again bc of this lack of transparency Overall, the lack of cleanliness at check-in and the unexpected additional charges were both disappointing and could have been avoided with better attention to detail and clearer communication. The wife was pleasant though, and that was a positive part of the stay. Edit: wow I'm so disappointed at how the owner responded to not just the message I sent him, but to this review that I posted on google. It's funny that he calls me a scammer and that I posted a fake review when I have the receipt to show when I stayed at the property and he's been boasting via text how many 5-star reviews he has, yet is so bothered by this one. Many of the positive reviews seem fake - I work in marketing and can tell based on the frequency and the content of the reviews whether or not they are genuine. HE HAS 4.8 STARS ON GOOGLE FROM FAKE REVIEWS, not bc he has an honest business. He got two more positive reviews in the last 24 hours to make up for this one negative review. Pretty sus for a tiny hotel with limited rooms. Hilarious that he calls this a fake review when he pays for his. So believe every negative review on here bc that is the true reflection of what it's like to do business with this owner. I notified him 45 minutes after bc I didn't want to bother him while he was cleaning the bathroom. You can see the timestamp that literally messaged him about the hair one minute after he notified me that the bathroom was cleaned. We spent about an hour unable to relax and wind down after a long day of walking around the city while our bathroom was getting cleaned and sheets being replaced. Also know that the home is set up like a dorm, where the bathroom is either shared or on a completely separate floor. Very different from what you'd expect from an actual hotel, and feels more like a hostel. In our initial conversation, he never mentioned that it was a subtotal or pretax amount that he was quoting me, and only the morning after I messaged him, did he respond to let me know that it was the subtotal price that I was quoted. I highly recommend seeing the other negative reviews, as they indicate how money hungry Ryan is. I never requested a full refund, only the taxes which he failed to mention which I think is very reasonable, but he went on about his 5-star reviews that he paid for lol. He apparently charges people $15 for a parking pass, without letting them know that parking is not guaranteed. I didn't see one parking spot open in my walk around the neighborhood at 9pm which confirms the disappointment in the other reviews. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY = DISHONESTY and he fails to understand this! I attached my receipt showing proof of my stay, and the messages between us to show proof that I'm not a scammer, since Ryan seems to have a habit of gaslighting people reading the reviews. He certainly lives up to the name of his hotel. If you have ANY hiccups during your stay, don't expect him to be compassionate as he runs his business like a big corporation with a cold heart rather than a small business, lacking an ounce of compassion or accountability even when they are a result of his own mistakes and dishonesty.

The service here is absolutely fantastic, the breakfast is delicious (pastries from Macrina Bakery across the street! Oat Milk!

I loved this place--great staff and they were very welcoming to our well behaved dogs. If you like non-corporate hotels, I recommend this one. We will definitely be back. NOTE: this hotel is in an old building and DOES NOT have an elevator and requires going up and down flights of stairs to access rooms, amenities, and entrance/exits. If you have mobility issues, this is not an option for you.

They were super friendly and helpful. They also cooked delicious breakfasts. We met David on our last day and he was super nice and welcoming. Centrally located at Capitol Hill. Near the train station and the bus. We walked late at night and never had an issue. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and the park. They gave us a list of restaurants and a map. CONS: The only issues I did have were that there were so many stairs. We personally did not mind it- my mom does walk slowly up and down stairs, but for someone else, this could be an issue. The bed was too firm to my liking, but other people might not mind it. Low water pressure in the bathroom. Overall, I would stay here again if I visited Seattle.

The accommodations were excellent (king bed,…read moretable w/chairs, club chair & foot rest, desk) the room was a good size, quiet (facing away from Roosevelt), and probably the most comfortable bed, bedding and pillows I've ever slept on outside my home. Staff were helpful and professional. Appreciated the extra sink outside the bathroom, quick hot water, and the bath products smelled wonderful. We got a new complimentary water bottle and happily refilled with fizzy water in the lobby. You also get one free drink per person. They have big rolling racks for all the luggage, a pool (so sad I didn't bring a suit) and conveniently located near the light rail and UW. Having parking onsite was a huge plus. 4 nights with some snacks ran ~$1300. It was worth it - SO much better than a similar-priced hotel a few blocks away.

Being able to use the Watertown Hotel's fitness center during my recent stay was also an extra perk. From Isela, who helped us understand our security deposit, and the team at the front desk who assisted me with the pool and recommended the nearby taco truck along with maintenance were very helpful and cool. Housekeeping was also outstanding. The room's Coulée Coffee pour overs were pretty amazing, too. Looking forward to planning a family trip to Seattle and Staying Pineapple again.

Discovering I make to much for low income places/not 3x's the rent others ask, I decided to just try a motel. Before Aero, I tried Motel 6 and Red Roof. Both adequate motels but expensive and both charge for parking. Gave Aero a try two weeks ago and regret not booking sooner. The woman who runs (owns?) the motel is so friendly and sweet and funny. She actually remembered I had called about a room back in December. The rooms are clean and cozy and come with a full size fridge and freezer and a microwave. Also has AC. Plenty of channels to pick from on the TV. The weekly rates are extremely reasonable plus they're one of only maybe three motels/hotels that didn't raise their rates during the World Cup. Both the husband and wife are friendly and quick to accommodate your needs. The motel is also on a bus line (124/24 and 60) The negatives I can think of (and they aren't negative for me but for some they might) are there's no laundry on site and the parking is tight. A lot of times you have to drive in reverse to get out. Again, for me, not a negative. There's laundromats all over the place.

I landed from airport and had no clue and had all rooms booked everywhere in downtown Seattle. I'm so glad this place had available rooms!!!! At first I was very hesitant and sketchy. Just cuz it was looking like a motel from the movies. As I learned as days went.. IM SO GLAD I MADE THE CHOICE TO STAY HERE.. Met a very kind lady named MARIA who runs this place like it's her own home.. she does a very EXCELLENT JOB cleaning and keeping this place very organized and comfortable for guest. SHE IS SO KIND TO HER TENANTS!!!! She offers food and water for your comfort!!! Every time I stayed at a five star hotel or a bigger one I always got bit by some type of bug.. I swear to you all I did not get bit at all by NOTHING!! Place was well kept and clean. DO NOT JUDGE ITS BOOK BY ITS COVER.. is the story of this place. It was ran by old management that didn't do a good job probably. BUT NOW ITS IN GREAT HANDS BY MARIA AND HER VERY KIND PARTNER. Thanks MARIA!!! FIVE OUT OF FIVE VACANT CLEAN ROOMS!!!

The location, right on Green Lake, is a tranquil, peaceful neighborhood. The home itself is old fashioned in style, yet modern with a recent remodel. The place is immaculate, homey, with cozy rooms and a generous living room with books and board games. We like staying in the Greenlake room, and I love the giant whirlpool tub! Our hosts, Julie and Blayne, have been running their B&B for 15 years, and they have it down to a science. Easy booking, an app to manage your stay, easy to communicate with as well. Our welcome wine and snacks await us in our room, along with forms to tick off choices for our custom breakfast. Julie is a fabulous chef. The omelettes, granola, breads and desserts are all made by Julie from scratch. I cannot emphasize how lovely it is to sit in the breakfast nook, looking out the window at the beautiful trees and the lake, birds circling the bird feeder. Picturesque, quaint, just absolutely serene. Sometimes, over breakfast, we will ask Julie for advice on where to go, how to get there, and there's also a whole list of recommendations on their site and printed out in our room. There are many great things nearby just within walking distance, including our favorite places to eat. Some people like to be on the go on vacation, but we like to take it easy. Even if we get busy sightseeing, we always want to come back to a place that's relaxing, and Greenlake Guest House is perfect for that. Sometimes in the afternoon we go down to the parlor to read books (great collection), or pop up to the mini fridge to grab a drink. I cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we're in Seattle! It's home away from home, but even better. We were sad when we had to cook and clean our own breakfast back home!

I checked availability, what they offer and so forth and grew too love it and wanted to book our stay with them! Julie our host was so amazing! She was kind and attentive! When we arrived she gave us a tour of the house and showed us to our room! There is a community fridge with water and sodas as well as a Keurig for coffee or tea. There was a welcome basket and bottle of wine that was provided with our stay. Julie told us that we can use their contactless app to put in our breakfast order or utilize the sheet that was provided. She told us that we can pick as little or as much as we wanted. I read great reviews on her homemade granola and definitely had to try it! After breakfast they would give you the sheet to choose breakfast for the next day. Everyday there's something different and everything that we had tried has been delicious! They bake fresh cookies everyday and you have the option to request for them on the menu and if you need your room cleaned. Julie and her staff were all so amazing to us during our stay! We really enjoyed our time here and appreciate their hospitality! Will definitely stay again whenever we visit again!
