A bit disappointed with this spot. As a long time Marriott customer, I've come to expect great things from these establishments. We taxied in from SEA, and were not greeted as we arrived; the taxi-driver unloaded our bags, and I was disappointed to see an unmotivated doorman who didn't appear interested in helping with our four large bags whatsoever. After wrestling them inside, I was greeted as normal, warmly and professionally, and upgraded to a harbor view room. I was, however, immediately struck by the dirty carpets in the halls, as well as the fact that they were coming off of the floor; wrinkles and bumps abounded. The room was clean, but with quite dated furniture it presented a bit more of a Choice Hotels feel than that of a Marriott. The downstairs bar was well staffed, and offered the restaurant menu as well. Food was fair, although a Calamari / shrimp plate was simply ghastly, over seasoned to the point of inedibility. Good hotel, but needs a bit more oversight in some areas, and really brings into question it's $300-$400 per night price tag. That's why I book exclusively with Marriott... because it's worth spending an extra c-note or so more to experience excellence; this location is a bit light in the delivery department. read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The location is great. Some of the staff are great. The cost is relative to the area and time of year. The lounge was okay. So we checked into the hotel and as on many of our Marriott/SPG stays, we asked if an upgraded room was available. The gentleman at the time declined and placed us in a room that smelt like mildew. Now worries, we come back to the lobby and ask again if an upgrade was available, and he placed us into another room 2 floors below, but atop of a suite. He wasn't really helpful. Also, being an elite member of Marriott, I combed through their policy before asking for anything. Later that evening another young gentleman was working the desk. Trying our luck, we asked again. Without hesitation, he jumped at the opportunity to assist and placed us in a larger corner room; still no upgrade, but this had space to unpack and relax. Seriously, we were here for 4 days. Anyway, the hotel was fine, but the staff should be on the same page when it comes to guest relations. We knew the rooms were available because they were available on the Marriott website. I guess being a Platinum member doesn't have any benefits. read more

Good time at this friendly hotel close to everything. Good bar kept me and brother busy. Talked too much but enjoyed the atmosphere.

I received bad customer service when I was checking into this hotel. The woman helping me was rude and not helpful. The room was small and outdated. Definitely wouldn't recommend staying here. Location was good but that's about it! read more

Solid marriott property on the Waterfront, exactly what you would expect. Rooms were nice and clean. Tiana at the front desk immediately greeted me and provided next level hospitality, something you don't always get. My only negative is beyond the hotels control, but there is a lot of construction and navigating on foot was a bit cumbersome with many of the side streets closed. Would stay again, really enjoyed this place. read more

Concierge is now on first floor off the lobby area and called M club. Has well drinks, wine dispenser, coffee machine and refrigerators stocked with soda, water and juices. Open 24 hours for cookies, candy and snacks with decent breakfast in AM and appetizer in evening. The layout is strange but has a huge patio. Hotel Rooms are older and do not match the renovation of the lobby. Most rooms have limited views of water Compared to other Marriott properties it's a bit pricey for what you get. read more

As members of their rewards program for umpteen years, we have stayed in many Marriotts and have always been pleased until now. In the morning after our first night of a two night stay, we left at 8:30am and returned at 3:15pm to find that housekeeping had forgotten to clean our room. When we called housekeeping, they said they would be there in 15 minutes. So we went to the lobby and got a "sincere apology" from a front desk clerk who promised to tell us when the work was finished. We then sat down to wait patiently for an expected 30 minutes. After 40 minutes, the front desk manager offered a $50 rebate. Feeling that wasn't enough, I called the Marriott web phone number and was transferred to Elite customer service. That phone call lasted until we had been waiting for one hour at which time the customer service rep told me that housekeeping was now in the room, and I should "calm down, be patient, and stop making a ruckus at the front desk". Her admonishment was completely unwarranted. We had remained quiet, calm and patient, and had only gone to the front desk three times to ask if the room was ready. And there was no "ruckus". At 4:35pm, we asked the clerk again, and she checked and established that the room was finally ready. We had been waiting for one hour and twenty minutes. To sum up: (1) housekeeping forgot to clean the room that morning, (2) housekeeping said they would be there in 15 minutes but took one hour before starting to correct the problem, (3) we had to wait for one hour and twenty minutes to get into our room, (4) the front desk failed to expedite the process, (5) until we asked, no one checked if the room was ready, (6) we were given inadequate monetary compensation, and (7) customer service was rude. read more

We checked in at 3:30pm and our room was not ready. Tamara informed me that they are cleaning the room. Then we have a dinner reservation that we have to go so my husband came to the front desk and ask to get a room as soon as possible so we can change for dinner. So the second representative did not know the situation and messed up on our reservation. Tamara came to the rescue and helped resolved the situation to our satisfaction. Everyone here are so kind and friendly with excellent customer services even with the glitches they will resolve to your satisfaction. The room are clean and modern. It is very close to Pike public market. Highly recommended read more

Front desk customer service is rude and unaccommodating. I actually called the customer service phone number from the line because there was 6 of us in line to check in and one person working the front desk. They did send out another rep to help within a minute. The counter person I had, Ron was rude and could care less that we have spent over 700 nights w Marriott!! I was planning to stay here next week after we return from our cruise but NO THANK YOU! There's way to many other hotels that would appreciate our stay. Marriott needs to jump up to the plate. They are not what they use to be. read more

They made my daughter's 16th Birthday Trip exceptional! Our experience at this Marriott was amazing!! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was so kind and friendly. They surprised our daughter twice. On the first day, they sent up a surprise gift bag filled with candy, snacks and a bottle of apple cider with champagne glasses. The second day, they surprised her with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, a glass rose and a sweet card signed by all of the staff. The manager Lily and her staff at this hotel are truly the best. They really touched my heart by making my daughter feels so special on her birthday! We will always stay at this hotel when visiting Seattle! read more

First, the ROOM was excellent, AND we had some decent people TRYING to make things better. Caroline, Letera, and Morrison REALLY tried to turn things around but trying to cover for incompetence is a losing battle. Those poeple should work elsewhere that rewards their valiant efforts. SO here is what happened: 1. We were asked if we wanted to buy a $20 per person access to the M club. Apparently this included a breakfast buffet. Since it was our FIRST stay at this hotel, we assumed certain things about the breakfast buffet. And when asked about it, we were directed to the dining room. The head waiter, MICHAEL, was god awful. When he realized what we had purchased, we were apparently were in the wrong place and was so freaking rude, OTHER people complained on our behalf to management. Carolin was gracious, gave us a hotel credit, and allowed us a late check out. However, Micahel was STILL working at lunch time, thus we refused to eat in the restaruant dining room because who knew what he would do to make ur lives miserable. 2. As we were checking out, I was getting the car from valet. I was putting something into one of the cup holders in the mid console, but something was already there. It was our T-Mobile device that allows us to have WIFI in the car. It goes into the port underneath the dash. Apparently, SOMEONE thought it was the emergency brake and broke the port. But here is the kicker. NO ONE BOTHERED TO OWN UP TO IT. They would have LET US drive away if I had not noticed it. Now, the management decided then to tell us, oh, well, too bad, we cannot credit any more of your stay because parking is a different company. Well, the parking company better fix it AND attention Marriott, anyone you sub contract with is still a REFLECTION OF YOU. SO shame on you for not doing anything you could to make this right. We will NEVER, and I mean EVER, go back to this hotel read more

My experience at this hotel was amazing from the start! Great location, beautiful views from the balcony and the staff was very pleasant. We brought my little sister for her birthday to Seattle for her first time. Ronald was very accommodating and helpful! My sister was blown away by the hotel room. Thank you again Ron for all your assistance! You're the best and we will be staying there again very soon! read more

I do quite a bit of traveling and stay 99% of the time at Marriott properties. I scheduled this property on a Saturday for a stay on Tuesday night. I was traveling from the East Coast and all my flights were cancelled/delayed so I was unable to make the hotel. When I called they refused to cancel my reservation and charged me $408. What an extremely poor example of customer service. I am a business customer that spends quite a bit of $$$ at Marriott properties but not anymore. I am going back to HIltonHonors. read more

The hotel has small rooms. Our king room was on the highest balcony waterfront - 6th floor #646. The concierge floor is on the 8th floor and now open on weekends. The views from the FRONT of the hotel are stunning day & night. Ideal for romance and honeymoons. Plenty of cuddle corners in the nooks & crannies of the large lobby. read more

My family was in Downtown Seattle for 1 evening and the next morning. I decided to choose the Water Front Marriott because of the location. An evening on the waterfront and the next morning. When we checked in the front desk man was short and made a comment that I had booked on Expedia and he would never do that. Very curt. We were on the 2nd floor, and I asked if there was a higher room and I was told they were sold out and their were no other rooms. We got the keys to the room and went up. We had a corner room with a partial view of the waterfront but the room was VERY warm. we tried to adjust the thermostat but no avail, so I tried to call the front desk a few times, with no answer. My family waited in the hallway, which was much cooler while I went down to the front desk. Both of the desk staff were talking and when I told them I had been calling and no one answered the phones, they told me they had not heard the phone. I explained about the room, and asked for another room because our time was short, they said we would have to send maintenance up to look at the air conditioner. We waited... They did come up and after about 30 minutes they determined they could not fix the issue and they would find us another room. After a while, we were given a room across the hall. No longer a view of the waterfront, now a view of the parking lot. We were now down almost 2 hours from check in and not alot of time to enjoy our evening at the waterfront. We returned to the hotel and I decided to talk to the front desk supervisor. I explained our check-in process and the time we had lost. I explained now we only had the morning left to explore the rest of the waterfront, which was not closed last night and I was asking for compensation for the long check-in process. He gave us a credit for breakfast in their restaurant. We woke the next morning and went down to breakfast and were told there was a 90 minute wait for breakfast. Back to the front desk I go. I was not willing to give this hotel any more of our time and I still wanted to be compensated for the previous night. I asked for the front sek manager and was told the young lady I was speaking to was the supervisor on duty. I explained our check-in process and significant delay to our night at the waterfront and the delay waiting 90 minutes for breakfast would take and I wanted to be compensated in another way. Being a Marriott Bonvoy member, I had no clout with this hotel. I was told at least we had a room for the previous night. At last I gave back the breakfast credit and was given a $100 points credit on my Bonvoy account. Room cost $500. Shame on you Marriott, I will continue to stay with Hiltons from now on. As a business traveler, Hilton ALWAYS makes sure their diamond members are taken care of. read more

Best place to stay when you are on NCL Stayed before and after a cruise. typical rooms, restaurant and usual good staff found at Marriott. Located within walking distance of Pier 66. No concierge room when we visited but they did provide a good breakfast. read more

Stayed after our NCL Alaska cruise. Got in very early and wanted to check in and store bags. The front counter person at 6:45am was rude and extremely unhelpful. He didn't smile or greet us at all. He told us he could not check us in until the room was ready. Really? Since when? Every hotel we have ever stayed at can check us in and assign a room when available. He asked for ID so he could check the reservation but could not check us in. He did store our bags. We had plans to spend time around Seattle and just wanted to come back once when the room was ready. So we left and returned around 2pm. Meanwhile we had checked in through the Marriott app. Little did we know that this particular Marriott does not participate in the app check in. I am a Bonvoy member with all identification in my account. The idea (which works in every other hotel) is to check in and get a digital key so you can know when the room is ready and then proceed to the room and not have to stand in line at the front desk again. At the 2 pm check in at the front desk, we were asked for ID again and were told the room was not ready. Ok that is fine but now we have to keep checking back. Somewhere around 3, we did get a notification that our room was ready and to check in at the front desk! Again! So I waited in line again and provided ID for a third time today and finally got our room key. I asked about checking in online and she shrugged it off saying that we have to check ID. I tried to explain that it wasn't very probably that someone that checks in through the Marriott app with an account that has a reservation on that day would cause any type of security issue. She insisted someone else with the same name, account and reservation could be checking in. Really? That seems impossible. Room was nice but what a huge hassle to get the room. Certainly good location to the pier. We will probably stay at the Four Seasons again up a couple of blocks. read more

After quite a few emails, I was told they would reimburse us due to our circumstances. I appreciate that they did this, however it took 5 phone calls and 6 emails. I had to reach out to the corporate office before anyone would tell me something other than "policy" talk. This is a hard time for hotels, but also for family's that have high risk children. We all need to start working together. read more

Spent a few days at The Marriott Seattle Waterfront. Everything about our stay was perfect. From the customer service to our room to the location, we enjoyed our stay. The lobby is beautiful and the entire hotel is inviting. Lots of seating and lounge chairs. This was perfect for my husband and I since we had to check out at 2, but didn't have a flight out until 830 PM. If you are a gold or platinum elite member, there is a lounge on the 8th floor for your delight. Grabbed some coffee and some bottled waters to start our days. Breakfast for two is also included in the restaurant downstairs if you are an elite member. Pastries, toast, bagels, yogurt, cereal, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon are included. If you want food from the heat lamps (bacon and sausage), it is $10. Nothing out of the ordinary perk wise as an elite member, but it is always a bonus to receive. Late check out also accommodated (2 PM). The location of the hotel is prime in our opinion. We walked to the space needle (about 20 minutes) and also to Pike's Market. Pikes is only a few minutes away -- walk out of the hotel, go to the left towards the ferris wheel and turn left at first block. You can take the elevator or stairs up and once you start walking uphill, make a right and you will be at Pikes. We also walked to Pioneer Square and to the shopping area (up to 6th). There are may restaurants and bars close by. Walk around and explore what Seattle has to offer! Parking suggestion : Plan out your Seattle trip accordingly. Valet parking is the only option offered at hotel and it is $49 nightly (with unlimited in and out privileges). My husband and I rented a car for three days ($80) and didn't really use vehicle. Plus, we paid $49 per night for valet. We used Uber a couple times for $6 rides (one ride from Marriott to lounge near space needle and other from space needle to Pikes). Additional Pros: Pool is half indoor / half outdoor Valet service was fast Full bar located downstairs read more

We stayed here for one night for my company's holiday party which was held in one of the ballrooms. The rooms are a little dated but comfortable and spacious enough for two people, plus it's located on the waterfront as you may have deduced from the name. The location is a nice, relatively short walk to Pike Place Market and is close to Belltown bars and reataurants. The check-in process was easy and the guy who checked us in was nice. The stay was on par with other Marriotts I've stayed in, no complaints. read more

We enjoy staying at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront when in town. The staff is friendly. Rose ensured we had adjoining rooms and a good view. The kids enjoy the heated indoor/outdoor pool. We also like the elite club that is nice with breakfast and evening appetizers available. The fresh bites room service I should probably give five stars as the grilled cheese sandwich with duck confit and plum sauce was a huge surprise hit. The Marriott is centrally located to everything you want to do in downtown Seattle. You can safely walk in minutes to everything in the downtown area fromKing Street Station to Pikes Market to the Sculpture Gardens to the Space Needle. #Marriottgoldelitemember read more

This was a very nice hotel. The location was perfect, right on the water so we could grab the ferry to Victoria early in the morning. The on-site bar was great. The restaurant was pricey, but the food was pretty good. read more

A really nice Marriott right on the waterfront. It seems really well located close to the cruise terminals. We stayed here because the price was right and I'm a platinum member. We were upgraded to concierge and used the lounge. The drive to the airport was a pleasure. We'd definitely stay here again! read more

I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but our stay was great. Our room was rennovated. The valet, front desk, and housekeeping were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was closed during our stay but we knew that before arriving. The hook and plow restaurant was only open for breakfast. The lobby bar was open for dinner. It was a small area but seemed to accommodate the folks that wanted to use it. There was a little noise in our room with the renovations going on but we were gone most of the time during the day so really didn't bother us. read more

I am giving this place two stars based on its convenient location which is close to the port that our cruise docked out of. The place is super pricey. It was over 300 a night for a standard room, which was fine. However, when I began to shower I looked over and saw a bunch of long stands of black hair on the bath/shower walls. My hair is blonde, and my husband and baby have short dark hair. And before anyone busts out the "cheating" line.... I was with those fools all day long! Disgusting to see a strangers hair all over the wall, especially after paying so much to stay here. read more

Great location. We decided to spend a day at Bainbridge Island, so this hotel was a great location as a hub. The walk down to the ferry is easy or there is a free shuttle that runs back and forth. We took the shuttle down there (it stops in front of the hotel) and walked back. We also chose a room with a view (great view) and ate at the breakfast buffet in the morning. I was skeptical about hotel breakfast buffets, but this was a great buffet with food sourced from local vendors. Probably my only complaint was the cost of valet parking...but its kinda like airline baggage fees...you get screwed over and just deal with it! read more

Great location! Take a Uber vs cab saves you a few bucks to the airport. So there is a pot shop 1/4 mile away. And a little further up the hill rows of bars. Make left the original Starbucks and tons of stuff to eat at like place. read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We chose this location for its location, as the Renaissance is up a little off the waterfront. Literally this hotel is a walk from great restaurants and Pikes Place; the cruise terminal and ferries. Those are the great things! This was not my favorite Marriott. I'm going to sound spoiled when I write what I am about to, but, here goes. We have status with Marriott and with that, we almost always get an upgrade. This is the one time we truly needed it, well, it's Murphy's Law! It didn't happen! We were put on the 8th/top floor , the Concierge Floor, BUT, on Friday, the day we checked in, the Concierge perks at this hotel are non-existent after the breakfast is served. IN other words, with the exception of the high floor and partial water view, what was the point? We were given vouchers, to use for continental breakfast the next morning, but had planned to have brekky with our daughter in a more local and more interesting Seattle place. How about drink vouchers ? I mean , lets be honest, that's one huge perk of the lounge! The room had two double , ( yes! double NOT queen) beds. It was also very small. The balcony the check in clerk loved telling us about on check in, was the smallest thing ever and at night the screech of the train was worse than the loudest nails upon chalkboard you could imagine. In our profile, we asked for extra towels ; extra pillows ; extra coffee.. none of which happened. Valet parking is about the only option for a few cents under $60, as self parking options are down the way. Yes! We could have and NO we didn't. The bar was cozy and nice and the Hook and Plow seemed a nice restaurant. There is a courtyard that faces the water with firepits and it would have been lovely to have seen those lit or enjoyed a wine there .. they just were not ever lit. FIRST world problems are what this review is all about !! :) Nonetheless, this location provided us with a great way to walk all around and have a great weekend with our daughter .. we were just way cozy! read more

Horrible experience with this hotel. Took over an hour to check in, while being yelled at by Alain a front desk attendant. When I asked to speak with a manager he refused the request and continued to yell over me. The hotel is advertised as having a pool and jacuzzi.

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - White out over the "whirlpool" - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The hotel is near to Pike place market and many restaurants which is awesome but I didn't like the rooms at all. I stayed there for 5 days but the service wasnt good at all. I had to keep calling the front desk about water bottles not being in the room and also for 300$ a room, it wasn't worth it at all. Maybe I booked at the wrong time as I booked only 2 days before going to Seattle but at that price, I won't be staying in future at all in this hotel. My favorite is Westin in Seattle where you will get awesome rooms at that price range. read more

I have thrown two 300-400-person fundraising events at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront, and they have both gone splendidly. My experiences working with the staff of the hotel have always been top notch, and I appreciate their knowledge and willingness to accommodate my every whim. The lobby is really beautiful- a great glass sculpture in the middle of a round lounge with a beautiful chandelier. There is a bar at the end of the lobby, and a "library" with a fireplace next to an entrance to The Fish Club. Walking in, the space makes you feel good. The ballroom is located in the basement of the hotel, and to get to it, you have to go down a staircase that resembles something from the Titanic. The ballroom capacity is about 400-450, but our last event only had 300 and with little to no effort, the tables were arranged in such a way that the space felt full and comfortable. Prior to our event, we scheduled a tasting, and we got to pick out the table setting arrangements before trying items from the menu. We requested a chicken, fish, and vegetarian option (that needed to be vegan and NOT pasta). We tried two different salads, and two chicken, two salmon, and two vegan dishes, and three different desserts. The chef, banquet manager, and event manager were all on hand to answer all of our questions about the ingredients used and the preparation. They went above and beyond to be accommodating of our menu, and were able to offer us the chicken and salmon dishes for the same price (Often the fish option runs a few dollars more than the chicken options). Leading up to the event, the event manager checked in with me regularly about planning the event. She showed genuine concern when I told her that we were expecting a smaller number of guests, (thanks to the economy for deciding to tank a week before our event) and was quick to offer suggestions on how we could modify our program and dinner service. The Marriott was able to accommodate our simultaneous VIP reception in the library, general reception in the ballroom lobby, our registration, and dinner all in one night. The tech/AV guys were a dream to work with, and our manager took the liberty to arrange lighting on the stage that was beautiful. Night of, I was always able to find a Marriott rep who was working on our event to help me with all kinds of little details. They were on hand to help me troubleshoot our auction, finagle the timing of our program, and to offer moral support when our auctioneer said ALL the wrong things. I would highly recommended the Seattle Marriott Waterfront to event planners who are looking to hold annual fundraising events or wedding receptions. They really take care to ensure that logistically, your event is a success. I deduct only one star because I was recently told that Marriott employees aren't permitted to unionize, which is part of the reason they are super easy to work with. read more

Worst Hotel Stay I Have EVER Had!! I planned my trip to Seattle for mouths. I booked 2 night stay in a king room on the concierge level with a view of Elliott Bay. Arrived at the hotel and had the bellman park my car and take my bag to the room. I waited 20 minutes for my bags; I had to call the front deck twice. The room was nice had a wonderful view of the bay. I turn the TV on and the remote control didn't work. So I call guest services and they said they would send someone right up. Well 30 minutes later a Russian only speaking man came to my room and tried to fix the problem. He left and got another man to help in, so 1 hour later my TV is finally working. I went looking for the Concierge Lounge; I book my room on the concierge level. Found out the lounge was on another floor. Got to the lounge and my room key wouldn't let me in. I headed for the front deck and spoke to the front desk manager. He apologizes for the mix up and said he couldn't move me up to the other floor. He fixed my keys so we could get into the concierge lounge. One of the big reason I want access was for the continental breakfast. So that night we were exhausted from our activates in Seattle, it the room and it was cold. Turned the heat on and went to sleep. I awoke in the middle of the night and was freezing cold. I turn the heat up and went back to sleep. Got up in the morning to discover the heater was still only blowing cold air. Call the front decks and they said they would send some up. Went to breakfast in the concierge lounge. The food was great and there was more then we could eat. The man running the lounge was nice and helpful. Went back to the room and the heat still wasn't fixed. Called the front deck got the same speech again. Well about an hour later they came and fixed the heater. So it was late afternoon when we got back to the hotel and we headed for the concierge lounge for a cold drink and they were closed. The sign said they are close Saturday afternoon until Monday morning. So that mean no breakfast on Sunday! Call guest services and that said they the front deck could give us a free breakfast in the restaurant in the lobby. Went to the front desk and told the front desk manage all the problems we had been having. He didn't offer us anything; I had to demand the breakfast. So he took care of us but he didn't want to. A few hours later I went to retrieve my car from valet. Its $36.00 a day, but I did care. I liked the availability of having my car close and street parking doesn't excise near the hotel. So I gave them my ticket and waited. I saw my car out front of the hotel; I guess they were waiting to move it into the underground parking. We waited a while and a valet came up and said they don't know where the keys are. My car has push button start and doesn't require the key in the extinction. The valet said they parked it out front because they didn't know where the keys were. I walked over and they were on the driver seat. My vehicle had been left un-locked and had the keys in it. I was pretty pissed about the whole matter. Sunday morning came and we had a breakfast buffer at the Hook & Plow restaurant. They charge $22.00 per person. The food was good but not $22.00 good. Lots of greasy food and slow services. So after everything I won't be staying with them ever again. I know nothing is perfect but the only good thing about this hotel is the view. They are overpriced and the service is very poor. I want a romantic weekend with my wife and all I got was a headache. read more

Seattle Marriott Waterfront - Front Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overall this a good place to stay. It was very elegant when you walk in the front. The rooms were spacious. Our comforter had stains on it but appeared to be washed. I smelled cigarette smoke for about an hour at one point. Wasn't a fan of that. We had a small balcony with a view of the bay that was absolutely wonderful. Just around the corner there were a few homeless people staying on the stairway. Felt a little unsafe trying to get back to the hotel from dinner. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of all the shops, farmers market and piers. The valet was very helpful and gave great advice on how to find certain things in town. read more

First time visiting Seattle and so far an amazing experience! The Marriott Waterfront has excellent customer service from the Valet staff to the bar Staff. Happy Hour is an incredible deal and the food is amazing. We ordered the Firecracker seafood and it was delicious. The bartender Archer was quick and friendly and recommended great places to hang out. We ordered a Vodka orange juice and it came with fresh squeezed oranges. Will be back here soon! read more

Check in was difficult and confusing. The partial waterfront view is not worth the extra cost. The room was small. Overall it should be easy to find a better hotel and a better rate. Not recommended. read more

I recently stayed here for a conference and had a pretty good experience. I travel a lot for work and always stay with Marriott, so my options were pretty limited. Even so, this was a no brainer since it's located across the street from the conference center. The location is absolutely perfect. It's right on Alaskan Way, which runs along the water, and is walking distance to basically everything (as long as you don't mind hills). The check-in process was quick and easy, which is expected but can be a nightmare if it's anything different. The lobby is large and extends to the bar, which is on the same level as the lobby but at the south end of the building. The hotel itself is fine, it's a pretty standard Marriott. I believe they had 4 elevators for 8 floors, which is actually a really nice ratio. My room was on the 3rd floor and was upgraded to a corner suite with two patios and a bay view. The view was absolutely gorgeous, I could see across the bay and to the south towards both stadiums. The room was fairly standard sized and nothing special, it was slightly larger since it was a corner room, but still not huge by any means. The bathroom was small and featured a tub/shower combo (ugh) which was squeezed next to the toilet and sink. I thought the walls were thin, considering I could hear everything going on in my neighbors room, and considering I only had one neighbor, I can't imagine what it's like being between two rooms. The hotel offers a concierge lounge on the 8th floor for gold and platinum members, which I am, so I took advantage. They had daily breakfast up there, as well as snacks and drinks. They charged for alcohol, which I found a little strange. I wish more Marriott's would offer a concierge lounge for their loyal members, it's a nice little perk to have. However, I think all drinks should be included. I'm not exactly sure what I paid per night, but I believe it was around $300. I think it's a little over priced for the amenities, but considering there was a major conference in town, I guess it's to be expected. Overall this hotel gets the job done. It's not the best Marriott I've stayed in by any means, nor do they offer the nicest amenities. But, being a very loyal Marriott member, I'd say this hotel is just fine. The location is terrific and it's about a 20-45min ride to the airport, depending what time you're coming/going. read more

Upon early arrival around 8:30am after a 7 day cruise we were unable to check in early but only with an additional $30 charge to the already price night stay were we able to get to our room at 12 noon. Then if you want any to gain access to the front of the hotel that allows you breakfast and afternoon snacks for the mere price of $40 per person per day otherwise you can not use the front of the hotel but you can go to the back of the hotel and get the peasant guest view of the water. I'd not recommend this hotel, FYI I normally stay at 4 star or higher hotel status hotels so I am a frequent traveler so please take my recommendations on my past stay at other hotels. read more

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

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

My husband and I stayed for 6 nights last week. We have stayed at the W as well as the Fairmount Olympic, both comparable in price to the Marriott. Pros -friendly staff -helpful concierge -amazing location on the water & close to Pike Place Market -very clean rooms -quiet despite being in the hustle and bustle of downtown -two cheaper parking options in close proximity -Hook & Plow restaurant had good food, the burger was amazing. Cons -outdated decor -valet is pricey & valet staff was not as friendly during the week compared to the weekend. Valet staff at The W & FO are much friendlier in my opinion. ($49/day + city&state taxes of $10/93/day + tips) -wi-fi is not free, which seems silly this day in age -Hook & Plow waiter kept trying to push alcohol sales on us, even complained that we were killing his sales. He wasn't really rude, I just thought it was a bit inappropriate. Tips -if paying for a waterfront room, ask for a room on the 4th floor and above. The first couple of nights we were on the 2nd floor and there is a bus area in front of the Marriot. Buses taking tourists to and from the cruise ships park there and idle (despite the no idling sign) for an hour at a time. So loud. We requested to be moved to a higher floor and were given no problems, that was nice. We enjoyed our view from the 5th floor much better. Overall I would not stay at this hotel again. For the price, there are lots of hotels which are much nicer and offer a unique experience. To me, this was just a standard hotel, nothing special about it other than the waterfront location. read more
