The hotel is located oceanfront on Alaskan Way, directly fronting the pier, shops, and restaurants. ATMOSPHERE: The low rise building of 8-stories has a very modern interior, with lots of stone in earthy tones, modern fixtures and colorful art pieces. It's not a bustling hotel by any means. It has the feel of a quiet hotel on San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf. You can hear seagulls and smell the pier, which I love! There's a walkway that leads out to Lenora Street, make a right onto 1st and that takes you direct to Pike Street. Super convenient. LOBBY: We arrived around 11am and it wasn't busy at all. Check in was quick and professional. There's a simple bar off to the side along with lounge seating and charging stations. ROOM: Very modern look and feel, and clean. There's a flat screen tv of about 37" or so. No in-room safe which is odd. The balcony is tiny and has no furniture. The view is 75% of the other hotel room balconies and 25% of the pier and ocean. The bathroom has only 1 basin and a shower/tub with good water pressure and drainage. The shower curtain had a small stain on the outside part but it wasn't a big deal. POOL: Saw it but didn't use it. Looks like its half indoors and half out. Simple rectangular pool. SERVICE: We're really not needy people when it comes to hotel stays. It's more of a place to sleep only. The few interactions we had with staff were all great. OVERALL: Great hotel within close proximity to the piers, Pike Place and Needle. read more

Beautiful hotel. Right across the street from Pier 66. MJ at the front desk was awesome!

Stayed at this establishment for a work conference. Was a bit concerned that the cost was really high, $299 a night, but the location was perfect to take daily walks around the waterfront and to Pike's market. The food for the conference was utterly crazy!! I was worried because it was so plentiful and crazy good that I would not be hungry to try some local places. The room was very comfy and Wifi was adequate to do emails and light browsing. The hotel has a nice laid back feeling and made the conference really enjoyable. Very clean and lots of amenities. If you walk back into the neighborhood you can find little stores to get water and sundries at regular prices. read more

The location is pretty good and the rooms have been renovated nicely. The rooms don't feel super spacious, so I would stay for 2 nights but not much more. Working from the roadside lobby was nice in the morning, as you can see the water. Easy to get to the market and walk down to the ferry or a ten minute walk up to Serious Pie (so dang delicious by James Beard chef). If I had to do it over again, I'd likely choose the funkier Kimpton for my teenagers to enjoy a more quirky hotel scene. read more

The staff is very nice! The hotel was gorgeous with an great waterfront. I only gave it 4 stars because I went during the pandemic so al the amenities were closed they do however have a small lounge where you can purchase drinks, snacks etc. This hotel is located just walking distance to Pike Place which is one of the main reasons we booked here. Close to the pier, ferris wheel and aquarium. Wake up early to get gorgeous views. The valet service was amazing every single employee was accommodating and friendly. Would definitely stay again in a future trip. read more

This hotel is centrally located within walking distance of the Public Market and there are many eateries around it. I was staying on the 8th floor, where I understand was recently remodeled and it was beautiful with a side view of the bay. The balcony is small, about the size of cherry-picker cage but there were big clumps of bird poop (on the sliding door screen too) that stayed with us the entire 3-days so had to be careful about where I stood. I had the Elite Status via timeshare so was provided access to the Fitness Center and the Hospitality room where there were warm breakfast sandwiches, chips, pastries in the morning, and soft drinks. It also has tables to eat that came in handy after walking back from The Biscuit Bitch for breakfast. The coffee brewing machine failed to work so I was unable to get my prescribed Decaf coffee but there is regular coffee in the lobby in the mornings. To acquire Decaf I was directed to the Hook & Plow restaurant on campus and they provided at no charge. The Fitness Center is well equipped but it is tight in there. There were two of us each day trying to find space to workout using the dumbbells and I conceded to setting up between two pieces of equipment no one ever used. The equipment was stocked with elliptical machines, several treadmills, full set of dumbbell weights, a couple of workout benches, thick yoga matts and some LifeFitness equipment intended for specific muscles. Towels were provided as well and sometimes there were cleaning wipes. The resident restaurant, Hook & Plow, is fabulous for breakfast. I had the Florentine Eggs Benedict that was absolutely divine (the English muffins were buttery) and the spuds of potato were nicely seasoned and crunch on the outside. I highly recommend this restaurant. I noticed signage that indicated this hotel is also a place for the cruise ship passengers to stay, as it docks on the waterfront of this hotel, but was fortunate not to have timed my trip during its stop at the port. read more

Great Location to access cruise ships and short walk to Pikes Place market. Hotel looks newly renovated. Very clean and quiet. Host at hotel restaurant was very friendly and helpful. Best hotel I've been too in some time! read more

Tamara at the front desk was a warm glass of happy when I came in from the cold Seattle rain. Great ambassador to the Marriott brand! The room was lovely, and clean. The matress was too soft, but that is a first world problem. Reginald helped solved a problem for me and shot up high on my Marriott power rankings. I like everyone at This hotel so far. read more

The room is awesome, clean, modern but comfy. The location is perfect for walking to attractions and the cruiseline ports. I would have given a higher rating except the room I am in has an adjoining door and the occupants of that room are loud and I can hear most of their conversations. The adjoining door needs to be insulated for less sound transfer. read more

First time to visit Seattle and am a Marriott member. Looking at the map, the Seattle Marriott Waterfront was a centralized location to visit the various places we wanted to see. I am a gold elite member and checked in online. First, it took about 15 minutes to be helped. They had 2 people working the front desk. We were a little early and our room was not ready. We were informed that we would get keys so that we could use the M Lounge, and would get a call once our room was ready. We would be able to walk in and exchange our keys for our room keys. We left the hotel to walk up to Pike Market Place, we just arrived at the beginning of the market when I got the call out room was ready. We walked back (only a 5 minute walk) and there was a line if 7 people and only 3 working the counter. At this point, there is no direction and elite check in did not help nor did it matter, they focused on the general line. I walked up to a gentleman informing him of my situation. He said he would be with me in a moment and took the next customer. Approximately 15 minutes later and the line not moving, I was getting irritated. I called the hotel and spoke to a manager and informed her of the situation and my displeasure in having to get in line twice and to wait more then 15 minutes. She was understanding and told me she would bring my keys immediately. Mind you, the line barely moved and other customers were getting upset. The overall hotel is okay, not what I am used to for a category 9 hotel. Location was on point, it was within a mile to a mile and half of everywhere we wanted to visit. We walked the entire time and the convenience made it a little better. Our room was mediocre, with a tiny balcony, 2 full size beds and a fridge. Only complaint was the location of our room, had to walk 2 long hallways from the elevator to get there. In regards to the M Lounge, the convenience of having 24 hour coffee and soft drinks was nice. There was breakfast and an evening happy hour for elite members. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Told my husband about it and his response was that there are many hotels out there that we can consider to become members of...our vacation was wonderful, got to see all the points of interest that we planned to see and we had great weather. Would love to come back to Seattle but I don't think I would stay at this location at this Marriott. read more

How do you not love getting upgraded to a top floor corner room suite to share a weekend away from home?​ Room 804 offered gorgeous views of the Seattle waterfront harbor and Olympic mountains plus looking down the shoreline to see that massive Ferris wheel. Upon arrival to our bright & beautiful spacious room, we received a card with kind wishes from the staff, delicious & decadent chocolate truffles from a local chocolatier, complimentary champagne and sparkling water with glasses to celebrate. Marriott Platinum​ has its perks! Overall we enjoyed a fantastic & memorable single night visit. The location was within​ walking distance to Pike Place Market, our destination for dinner (El Gaucho) and many other places of interest. Breakfast at the Hook & Plow offered either ordering off the menu or the Sunday brunch. We opted forfreshly​h made omelets with Beecher cheese and local sausage with a cup of fresh melons, raspberries and blueberries. YUM! All in all a fantastic stay that we will never forget! read more

This is an amazing location in downtown Seattle nestled against the waterfront. The best thing about this hotel is location, location, location! It is just adjacent to the Pike Place Market, access to public transportation, and everything downtown Seattle has to offer. The hotel is fairly modern, clean, and had friendly staff. The waterfront is a bit lower than downtown but just adjacent to the hotel is a staircase and elevator that make it a quick trip. One down side is that one side of the hotel is adjacent to a train track, and the walls are fairly thin. So depending on the occupancy level and what your neighbor is up to it could be a little noisy. I have stayed here many times, and only had one noisy neighbor and the staff quickly addressed my concerns. Overall it's a nice place to stay and enjoy the waterfront and downtown area. read more

Stayed here on our wedding night. Beautiful suite with a view! By far the most comfortable bed and cozy soft bedding in a hotel that I have ever had! Pillows were soft and plush, nice down comforter and very plush pillow top mattress! The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We got to the hotel at about 8:45pm after our Sunday wedding. By then we were very hungry, there was nothing in Seattle open for dinner after 9pm. What the hell? The only place open was the bar in the Marriott which had a very limited menu. We both ordered a burger and fries. But, WOW. It really was fantastic! The burger was served on some sort of ciabatta bread, and a side of homemade hand cut fries. It was such good food! It was served on a cutting board, which was kind of a cute touch. The BBQ sauce was very tasty too, it tasted like they made it themselves. I reccomend trying out the bar's food if you are staying in this hotel, it was DELISH!! read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - Room with a view! On our wedding night - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was here for business conference. It's a higher end hotel in an excellent location-- the little ways out of downtown makes it quiet, but absolutely walkable, nice views, good access for strolling, and there's a free waterfront hop on and off shuttle if you're not into walking. Goes without saying that you should be prepared to pay (a lot) for parking and there's no included breakfast, but I nternet was available and it was the first time I was in a hotel and able to access my own TV internet accounts like Netflix. Beds and bedding was comfy tho I didn't care for the pillows. Air temp control was very good and quiet, no microwave or fridge in room, and toiletries were nicely adequate. There is an indoor outdoor pool but no hot tub! Be prepared for checkout at 11am (no late checkout available). I'd stay again for sure (!!) since it was really nice, but since I wasn't paying, I can't say how it compares to others in this hotel class. read more

First and last time at this Marriott. I am a lifetime platinum member and the service is horrible. The electronic key system is a disaster. Long check in lines and one person at the counter. Never again read more

The Seattle Marriott Waterfront is a great hotel in a great location. It's definitely not the cheapest in the area but it's worth the splurge for being in such a convenient spot in the city. We had a great view of the ocean and my friend really loved the balcony that our room came with. He practically spent every moment possible there taking in the ocean breeze. Otherwise, the rooms are fairly standard and nothing to complain about. If you have gold or platinum status (I know the names/tiers are changing soon so it depends on when you're reading this) with Marriott, their M Lounge right by the lobby is very nice. The breakfast and evening appetizer selection seemed like it was more than a typical Marriott lounge. There were also snacks and drinks that we could partake in during the off hours. The valet parking kind of hurts the wallet a bit but I'm sure it's comparable for the area. It's a short walk over to Pike Place market which is awesome. A block over is an elevator and stairs that bring you up to the higher level where the market is. This allowed me to discover the stores and restaurants nearby without having to try to do everything all in one trip if we were staying elsewhere. read more

Incredible waterfront location right in the heart of all that's good in Seattle. Walking distance to just about everywhere. Pike's, cruise terminals, downtown, etc. Hotel itself is pretty nice. We have only encountered friendly and helpful staff st this point. Reggie at the front desk was nice and helpful at our late evening check in. Our room is nicely appointed on the 8th floor. Not the largest room, but still nice and spacious. Plenty of room for the two of us. The amenities look to be nice and the free water bottles is always a nice touch. Now off to enjoy Seattle. read more

We stayed one night prior to our Alaskan cruise. You can't beat this location. Easy access to public elevators up to Pike's Market and right across the waterfront to walk up and down Alaskan Way. The two rooms we booked had waterfront views and the hotel is right across from NCL (FYI). Rooms were clean. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars was because of the price. It's at least $100 more per night than other major chains. If we go on another Alaskan cruise, we will likely stay here again because of the location. read more

First impression upon arriving was the bellhops were friendly, but that was the end of any positive sentiment in regards to this hotel. Upon arriving at the front desk to check in, the front desk employees were very terse and it seemed any pretense of courtesy just wasn't going to happen. The smiles and overt friendliness towards other guests (in suits) just wasn't afforded to us during our stay. We're friendly to everyone we meet, my girlfriend always tried to make the lives of your employees easier by cleaning and organizing our room service dishes and making sure the place was as clean as it was we got it as when we left it. Even going as far as helping other guests with their baggage for you, (she has a background in hospitality) but this treatment simply wasn't reciprocated. First night after coming back from the boardwalk, I take a shower and my girlfriend goes outside for a walk. I get a text from her after I'm out of the shower that one of the employees of the hotel is following her. Obviously, I'm alarmed so I walk out of our room and down the hallway to meet her and see the hotel worker following her. He continued to follow us to our room. He clearly didn't think she belonged at this hotel. The only assumption we can make is that he thought she was a sex worker. I only ask how other women, or anyone for that matter would feel in this situation. Not good. Despite being moderately successful we just don't fit in for some reason at these business class hotels. I have the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant ($450 to you guys every year, for what?), Gold Status (could certainly be Plat if I wanted to), spent thousands over the years. What gives? What's it going to take to get some respect from Marriott? read more

Had a great stay, from the lounge to the staff, great place. I love that Anthony's is right across the street, Pikes Market is a nice 30 minutes walk and let me tell you, I ate at the restaurant for breakfast. I ordered the Denver as my boss had it. Holy beans. That dang omelet is still in my head, why? Well I will tell you why, it's the Beecher's cheese and the ham they use is not some deli ham, it was high quality and that simple omelet stuck. It was the perfect meal to send me out for the day and I'm glad I remembered to write this. I will be back to this hotel. Parking is a little pricey at $55, but what can you do, it's Seattle. read more

I've been waiting for almost a month for a $300 refund. Talked to multiple associates at this location to prevent this from happening in the first place. Talked to multiple customer service associates and a customer service supervisor when it was not refunded in the timeframe I was given and was assured I would see it in a couple of days. Was originally told I would revive it in 7-10 business days on 12/16/2022. As of today 19 business days/26 days have passed and still no refund. This is insane and I will never stay at a Marriott again read more

Ideal location for first time visitors such as myself who are on a mission to see it all! Walking distance to Pike Place Market, the Great wheel and Aquarium, and a short Uber ride to Nordstrom or the Football field. I felt safe in this area and was very pedestrian and lime-scooter friendly. Lobby bar is awesome and had tater tots and cheese board, two of my favorites! read more

Great hotel with a great location. They acknowledged my Bonvoy elite status, gave me an early check-in, upgraded my room, and were super nice.The guy checking me in was fantastic. MClub was alright. Hotel was updated and the room was fantastic! Only negative(s) - (1) $63.75 (after taxes) per day for valet is quite ridiculous - maybe consider giving Elites a break on this; and (2) I know this is a 1st world problem, but in my entire life, I've never been to a hotel where when waiting for an elevator in the lobby, the staff fills the elevator and makes the customer take the next one. read more

Firstly, the location is awesome! You cant beat it. The initial interactions were also fine. Good room with partial ocean view. Strike #1 -- I had called 2 times before my trip started to order the roll-away bed but it wasnt in the room. However, it came quickly after we were in our room. Strike #2 -- We had only 3 towels!!! Why is Marriott providing 3 towels for a room with 2 double beds? Please put 4 towels or more. We came from LA where we were in Shutters. We had towels up the wazoo in this hotel. From here we went to Forks MOTEL. Again 4 towels of each kind. WHY ARE YOU GIVING US 3 TOWELS for 4 people? STRIKE #3 (the BIG ONE) --- Anyway, next day when we come back to our room in the evening, we find that our room has not been cleaned!!! So my husband, a long time/loyal Marriott member, called room service and someone named DAN picked up the call (he wont give us his last name). My husband asked politely why our room was not serviced. Dan asked him back if we requested it. Who requests room service in a hotel????? Isnt it a given? My husband told Dan that we just came from a different hotel at LA and we got room service every day. Dan's response: "Well sir, this is not Hilton or some other hotel, its Marriott." Is this the customer service Marriott is promoting now? Shameful!!!!! It turns out that because they are short staffed they are asking customers during check-in if they need room service every day. But, we were never asked about this during check in. In my business I deal with customers every day. If I were Dan's manager, I would fire him right now. He has no business being in the hospitality industry. Also, Marriott, shape up. This was a very bad experience. read more

It's a pretty nice hotel but it's hard to figure out where parking is that being said the staff was polite and cordial. They said we had a balcony and that's really more of a balcony you could put shoes on but no more than one or two people can fit on there otherwise it would just collapse because it's kind of a mini balcony or a baby balcony. Free Wi-Fi is connected with the room I have a smokin hot view of Puget Sound it's a gorgeous day what's not to like five stars read more

This is a great location if you're going to be boarding a cruise ship at Pier 66. Management and staff were great in addressing our concerns. The not so good stuff ... 1. no restauarant or bar open in the afternoons; 2. it's under renovation and the noise can be overwhelming; 3. the waterfront is under construction which means noise, dust, and traffic; 4. pool is currently closed; 5. very difficult to get cab service to the hotel, so be prepared to use Lyft or Uber; 6. $45.00 - $55.00 cab ride from SeaTac; 7. very expensive room rates; 8. we paid for a concierge waterfront room above the 6th floor - what we got was a smaller room (not concierge) on the 4th floor with LOTS of street noise throughout the night; and, 9. not a lot of dining options in the nearby vicinity (at least not until 4:00 p.m.). Overall, a nice location, but pricey. Management was very understanding and addressed all of our concerns. read more

Awful service. I asked Giselle to call a taxi for me and then asked her to call back and leave my name and telephone number (it was noon and a number of people were waiting for taxis at the hotel). Her response, "No.". The rest of the front desk staff were no better than her. In the room, the AC didn't work, I didn't get the view I'd paid for (not sure how a parking garage qualifies as a water view). The list is long. I've spent 70 days in hotels this year, most of them were Marriott Bonvoy properties. This was the worst. read more

40th Anniversary stay and this has been the 2nd worst Marriott i have been at. Im a 35 year Platinum Member. Not shown. Dirty Glasses Papers and pills on the floor in room upon arrival. A host working the line at checkin who asked me if i was a guest when i asked where the restrooms where. I ended up going to my filthy room and going there. Never mind they screwed up my reservation at checkin. 2nd worst stay in my 35 years, Atlanta being the worst. If i could give negative stars i would. Well below the standard i have come to expect from a Marriott. I will however mention that Jeff, the concierge was fantastic as well as Aubry in the Kitchen. Marriott. Please know i will be speaking to Corporate about this. I still have a night left here. Id move if something else was available. read more

This is hotel walking distance to the waterfront. Madka front desk check us in and out she had great customer service and made the experience enjoyable. Moe who assisted us with storing our luggage till our room was ready was very friendly and accommodating too. Hotel lobby was clean. Great location walking distance to all these attractions. Room was nice with a great view but not sure is was clean enough. Saw some pet hair on the lamps and human hair on the bed. You can see guest across doing stuff if their curtains are not closed. Housekeeping was very nice too. My family and I would definitely return for another stay. read more

This is a very expensive hotel across the street from the cruise terminal. That being said, it is very overpriced. I stayed her two nights at opposite ends of the week. The first night I was not allowed to check in until after 6PM as they were still "cleaning" the room. When we finally got into it. the tub was so filthy that I could not give my kids a bath. For a $500 per night room at a Marriott, the hotel is lacking attention to detail. On the second night the tub had hair in it from the previous guest and crud on the floor. While the staff was friendly and nice, there was never any offer to reduce the cost of the room. They did offer breakfast in the cafe, which was ridiculously overpriced, and not open for dinner. I'm talking about $30 for eggs, $22 for a burger. If you're going on a cruise it's great for proximity of the ship, but I wouldn't stay there if I wasn't. Stay somewhere else and Uber to the ship. read more

I checkEd in today; using all my Bonvoy points. Requested high floor early checkin- got neither. Room not up to Marriott standard and I am very disappointed in this. I will never stay here again... Shame on Marriott for going so far downhill... I have been coming here for years. Sad read more

I contemplated foregoing writing this terrible review after seeing all the other recent bad reviews, but I'm so annoyed that I will not be able to be productive without getting this off my chest. When I checked in, they said there was construction, but that it would be done by 3:30 and start again at 9. We could hear it from the lobby, but what they didn't tell us what that they would put us in the room right next to the drilling. I was on a conference call from my room and my business partners could not hear me over the noise. I'm paying $500 a night. When I booked the room, they did not tell me that I would not be able to use the room until the construction stops at night. Perhaps they did not know, but once they knew, I should received an email asking me if I wanted to rebook elswhere. I thought Marriott was a business traveler friendly brand. They tried to make it right but giving me a credit (which I appreciate) and access to their lounge so I could work, but I am unable to have confidential calls in here since it's not private. And the contruction did not stop at 3:30. The crew said they work until 5:30. So not only is Marriott deceptive, but they are liars. I'm sorry to see an American brand with so little integrity. Everything else the other negative reviews stated is true. Thank you for reading my rant. I feel a little better and now I can get back to work to earn enough to pay for this rip off of a stay. read more

This is one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. First off, this hotel is located in one of the most beautiful and convenient locations possible if you're visiting Seattle. It is a 5 minute walk away from Pike's Market Place, a 10 minute walk to the ferry, a 15 minute walk to Chinatown, and a 15 minute walk to a bunch of other prime locations and stores. If you're lucky, you get a hotel room with a view of the water front. If you're a platinum or gold member, you get access to the concierge lounge on the 8th floor. Here, you get free breakfast and dinner every day. Granted, it isn't some 5 star meal as you wouldn't expect since it is free. But it is a good way to save money or be able to eat something if you're too lazy to go out. The staff is truly what makes this place stand out. Every time someone who worked at the hotel would see me, they would greet me and ask if they could do anything for me. If I left clothes or toiletries/makeup out when the maids were cleaning my room, they would fold my clothes or organize my makeup neatly for me. I honestly felt bad about that as I would never ask them to clean my personal items for me but they did it anyways! One tip I would say is if possible, do not bring your car here. They charge $50 for every night you keep your car. It's much cheaper and convenient to just Uber around! read more

The good: - Location along Alaskan Way is convenient for waterfront sites & Pike Place Market - Excellent views from Elliot Bay view rooms - Quiet, clean, comfortable rooms - Mostly good service The bad: - Location on Alaskan Way means major hikes up the hill to most places in Seattle - Frequent conventions/events means tons of crowds in public spaces - Non-Elliot Bay rooms near BNSF mainline (noisy) - Expensive valet only parking The wife and I visited Seattle for the very first time in mid-October 2015, right after our adventure in Portland, OR the week prior. We decided to stay at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront based upon the recommendations of my fellow Marriott Rewards members/friends. The suggested, as a Marriott Rewards Platinum Elite, I reach out to the property prior to our travels to put in an early request for a suite upgrade. The manager I spoke with at the time was super friendly and very helpful, going above and beyond what was necessary by even giving us travel and dining advice for the area! When we arrived, we were greeted by an equally friendly and helpful associate. She informed us that they had assigned us a wonderful room, and boy was she right! Our room, 707, was a beautiful suite on the 7th floor with excellent views of Elliott bay. The room had 1 small balcony outside of the bedroom and a MASSIVE L-shaped balcony that wrapped around the entire living room. Inside, the living room has a large sofa (that turns into a bed), large HDTV, a work desk with chair, a fridge (under the TV), and a closet with the safe and ironing equipment. Through a set of double doors was the bedroom. The bedroom had yet another closet, a king bed with two nightstands, a dresser, a lounging chair, and a HDTV. Connecting to the bedroom was a massive bathroom with dual vanities, a separate water closet, and (the only disappointment) a shower/tub combo. Being in a suite and a Platinum Elite, we had access to the property's concierge lounge. We stopped by for water a couple of times, but never really ate there thanks to all of the excellent food nearby the property. There's also fitness facilities, a pool, and a nice looking restaurant, but we missed them as well thanks to always being out. Now, the biggest point of contention with the property is it's parking. Valet only isn't ideal, but geez, they charge $46/night at the time we stayed. And without a good alternative nearby, you're pretty much stuck. Then again, if you don't plan on traveling far from the property, it would be cheaper to just Uber everywhere. Us? We needed the car for a day trip to Canada and to get up to Everett. Oh, and do as they say and call down for your car 10-20 minutes before you need it. This wasn't an issue for us since we always remembered to call, so the car was almost always waiting for us. Another thing you may want to consider is the location. The property is on Alaskan Way, making it super convenient for the Aquarium, Wharf, and even Pike Place Market. BUT, Pike Place Market is up the hill, even if you take the public elevator up the hill, it's still a small hike the rest of the way. Everything is even farther up the hill, so if someone in your travel party has difficulties walking, plan on driving or stay somewhere further up. The property is also located next to BNSF's mainline through Seattle, so you can hear the train roaring by. It wasn't a bother for us and barely audible in our room, but I can't imagine the poor people that got rooms actually facing the rail line... All-in-all, though, the Seattle Marriott Waterfront is a good hotel and one I'd return to. Just be aware of a few key considerations when booking! read more

Hum...there were some really great things about this hotel, and then some not so great things. ***GOOD THINGS*** - LOBBY. The look and feel is super classy and nice. - BAR. The bartenders are super nice, but the drinks were ridiculously expensive. We got 3 shots of tequila and 1 vodka shot, and it cost us $60 bucks!!!! Although the shots are "larger," it really was too much. However, when we decided to take a bunch of photos, and one put a chair up on the table so that we could do a birthday pose, no one said anything. They smiled, let us do our thing, and wished us a good night out. - ROOM. We asked for a higher floor and they gave us the 6th floor with a partial view of the water. It was really nice because the balcony overlooks the courtyard so avoid the noise, but the view is still gorgeous. There is a large flat screen TV to entertain the later nighters, and the beds are super comfy with down covers. The bathrooms are spotless with Bed Bath and Body Works toiletries. ***NOT SO GOOD THINGS*** - POOL. The pool sucks. Really sucks. The pool is half indoors and half out, but they had this ugly vinyl thing that separates the indoors from out. Then, the pool chairs and everything are outside...in the rain. We pull some inside, but there was barely any room around the pool to sit. - JACCUZZI. It wasn't hot. Something went wrong and it wasn't heating correctly so the guy had to come in, kick everyone out of the pool to fix it. When we WERE in the jacuzzi, every time someone came into it, the water would overflow all over the place. The maximum capacity was 4....FOUR PEOPLE!!! No buenoooo. - VALET SERVICE. My friend lives in Seattle so she dropped us off in the front, but helped us bring our bags inside and check in. She asked where she could park for 15 min, and the valet told her that if she stayed longer than 20 min, she would be charge $16 for the day. WTF????? The second incident was when we left the hotel on the last day. We checked out and left our bags at valet for the day so that we could come back before the airport. They gave us ONE ticket [which i kept] and when we came back, they couldn't find our bags!! They told my friend to go into the room and pick out which one was ours. She went in, got all our things and was dumb founded that no one was in there to supervise!! Anyone could have walked in and taken our things!! The third thing was after we got all our bags. We...ourselves...GIRLS...found our bags, hauled them out, lifted them, and fitted them into our trunk. NOT ONE VALET guy came to help us. Not only that, they WATCHED us figure out how to fit the bags in. Since we are awesome and did it ourselves, I kept the $10 bill that i had pulled out to tip whoever helped us!!! The whole time, the valet guys were chatting, hanging out, doing nothing but open doors for random guests. Is this all their jobs consist of????? OVERALL, this is a great location to be in. The hotel is nice and the location is PRIME for doing things downtown. Everything is walking or short cab ride in proximity, and I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Seattle...I'll just make sure to do some weights before I come. read more

Check-in options were either next to the air conditioning units or facing the freight trains. Understaffed at the front desk so wait time to check in was atrocious. Half-effort attempt to make up for the poor experience with a restaurant coupon - restaurant had limited daytime hours. Not really useful. If you want a decent night sleep, go somewhere else. read more

I visit Seattle quite often and I always try to stay in a different hotel to change up the traveling experience. Always a fan of Marriott, I decided on the downtown Seattle, Waterfront Marriott. I was able to check in right away and my room was beautiful. I had a balcony that was facing the water. It was a little chilly while I was there but it was very cool to be able to stand on my balcony and enjoy my coffee every morning. I only stayed two nights and I was pretty busy with work the entire time, but the location is amazing. You're right in the middle of all of the fun, downtown on the waterfront. Clifford checked me in and he was great, He explained everything about the property, the amenities, and the club lounge. I was excited that there was a club lounge, because I was going to be so busy I didn't have time to find food. It was a great spread and I ate breakfast thereeach morning and hit up the hors d'oeuvres at night. The gym is great, and they even have a pool. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone who is considering. read more

This hotel is in a location that you can love and hate. It is right by the water and not too far from most of the cool parts of downtown. The issue for some is the fact you are way below all of that and will need to take some stairs and up hill walking to get to most things. As long as you know that going in then you should be able to manage. The lobby is large and open. Check in was fairly quick and painless. There is a bar at the one end of the lobby and the club near the entrance. The bar had a good amount of activity and decent options. The club room was good sized and well equipped. There were plenty of options through out the day for food and drinks. There is a nice outdoor area too but the weather was not allowing that option. The room was good. It was average size. The decor was fine as was the bathroom. The balcony was small but it was still nice to step out into the fresh air and watch the water. The bed was comfortable too. We would stay here again. Overall it is a good hotel and the staff was very friendly. read more

Nice hotel, nice location, rooms are good sized, clean, like the tile floors, bathroom is great. The pool is nice. The only issue is the lights in the bathroom. The light in the shower put off a lot of heat, making it a sweaty shower, somewhat counterproductive to the purpose of showering. And you'd think with it being Seattle, home of the environmentally conscience, they'd use led light bulbs instead of lights that out off so much heat you'd think they were coal powered. Plus the light is so bright that when you tilt your head back to rinse your hair, you feel like you're retinas are being burned out even with your eyes closed. It's worse that staring at a solar eclipse I'm pretty sure. When you walk into the bathroom in the middle of the night the mirror light over the sink automatically turns on and you are immediately blinded. Any hopes of going back to sleep soon are over as you try to adjust to the PTSD just caused because you have to pee. read more
