Top South Seattle Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

8/10 Good

"Stayed 1 night prior to an early morning flight out of SEA. The room was comfortable and quiet! We arrived too late and left too early to use the pool or to need a meal at the restaurant, so can't comment on those items. We took the shuttle to the airport, which was fine. Frankly, though, it is close enough to the terminal to walk, unless your flight check-in is at the far end of the terminal, such as Alaska Airliines. There are some fast food restaurants across the busy road in front of the hotel, as well as at least one nicer Thai restaurant. The parking lot area is dark and the sidewalk on the main road is not illuminated very well. Still, the area was clean and felt safe to be walking to those restaurants in the early evening. Parking costs over $30 per night. Seems like a decent place to stay for a night, but I'd look elsewhere if you are planning a longer stay as there's not much around oriented towards tourists, and getting into downtown Seattle will take you an hour on the light rail and probably cost $30-$40 in an Uber or taxi."

Mediterranean Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great location with very easy access to the space needle and hockey arena. Lots of shopping and food choices within walking distance as well. The staff was super friendly. The building is older but it seems well maintained and the room was very clean and comfortable. The roof top patio was a nice way to end the day. I'd stay again for sure."
