    Large and bustling, this transit center offers bus rides to and from most areas in Seattle ,…read moreShoreline and more. Very little is offered by way of seating, covered space under which to hide from the elements (sides are all open so any light wind will bring the elements to you), and streets must be crossed in order to get anywhere off of TC Island, unless, of course, you plan to just hop on to another bus. Close-ish, proximity-wise, to Northgate Mall, but still a bit of a walk (maybe 5-10 minutes depending on your speed, traffic and the weather) to the mall entrances. Get ready, too, for some stairs!

    The Northgate Transit Center is conveniently located just off I-5 and is across the street from…read moreNorthgate Mall. In addition, there are numerous parking lots that riders can utilize for their commutes. Most of the routes located here are to and from downtown Seattle. Though there are a few that head further north. Route 41 is great because it has nonstop service to and from downtown making for a faster commute. There are also a few buses that go to nearby neighborhoods like Ballard, Green Lake, Wallingford and the U-District. Though you are better off taking a different route to those places if you are travelling from downtown rather than getting to Northgate and changing buses. The transit center is just okay. It seems clean enough, though not pristine. Though I don't know how I would feel waiting here at night. If you live on the north end, this should be your spot in commuting to and from downtown.

    Pros: - The room is clean and modern…read more - There is a microwave in the room. - Good water pressure in the shower. - The bed is comfortable. - The gym has a variety of workout equipment. Cons: - They do not provide water bottles in the room. They do provide iced water in the lobby but it tastes like chlorine. There is also a water dispenser in the gym. - The rooms do not include robes, slippers or lotion. - There isn't a fan in the washroom. - A/C is loud. - The elevator is very slow. - Parking is $21/night. It's strange that they charge for parking in this area. - Thin walls, I could hear neighbouring rooms slamming their doors and I could hear the guests upstairs talking. - The hair dryer didn't work, so I had to call the front desk and wait for housekeeping to bring me a new one.

    Picked the Courtyard Seattle Northgate for my one night stay as I had things to do in the area and…read moreI didn't want to pay the obscene parking prices in downtown Seattle. Per my Marriott status, my complimentary upgrade request to a one bedroom suite was granted. I actually liked this room a lot, as the decor was definitely better than your usual Courtyard. The living room area was spacious, kinda wish I had more time to advantage of it. Bedroom was fine, comfortable bed as expected. And the bathroom area was quite spectacular. I've stayed at better Marriott brands and sometimes the bathroom isn't as nice as this. The one thing I need to point out, which significantly detracted from my experience, is the poor sound insulation. My room was facing Northgate Way, and I could hear every damn car that came across that road. It was pretty awful and affected my sleep. Had I stayed longer than one night, I would have asked for a different room. It was that bad. I have no idea how this was not addressed in the design and construction of this hotel. The good thing about this location is that it's off the freeway. But honestly, unless you have specific business to attend to in Northgate, there's not much here at all. Parking is $21/night and is in an underground lot, which might I add is extremely tiny. Some of these parking spots were simply unusable. I wasn't about to risk damaging my rental car trying to fit into these spots. I ended up making a call and just parked in the one hour only spots reserved for people checking in. This brings me to the service. I appreciate them listening to my concerns and finally waiving the parking fee for having to deal with the street noise. However, I still haven't received the 5,000 points they also promised me for having to deal with it. Really wanted to like this hotel, but I will not be coming back.
