2.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (555)
"Had an amazing view of the Pike Place Market. The staff was friendly. The communal space was always clean and relaxed atmosphere. My only suggestion is it would have been nice to rent or buy a washcloth from the front counter. Showers have no such device for cleaning oneself."

The Golden Lion Sweet Suite

1.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"I enjoyed my stay. I found the bathroom clean and the bed was quite comfortable. My only negatives are that it takes a long time to get hot water and it’s light pressure, and the common area floors could use a good wash. The host was easy and efficient to deal with online though. I really enjoyed the codes to get in/out so I could easily walk around neighbourhood and come and go like my own house. I was alone so it’s a perfect stay for solo travellers. If I was with a partner though it may not...

The Seattle Kraken Sweet Suite

1.0 star property
7.2 out of 10, Good, (10)
"Home was clean and brand new. Room was large enough and spacious for two but host uses misleading photos. The “Kraken Suite” Infact does not have a connected bathroom which was quite the bummer. You have a private bathroom but have to leave the room in order to access it. Building walls are paper thin as others mentioned, you hear every conversation, door code, door opening and closing of upstairs and downstairs and neighboring units. The room and space were very clean and comfortable otherwise....

Sweet Suites Capitol Hill

2.0 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (137)
"The property was a good price for Seattle. We were able to find street parking during our three night stay. The common area was nice, although we never used it. The biggest bummer was not being able to use the television during our entire stay. The remote was broken and didn’t work when we put new batteries in. We let them know on the first day and the response was “I’ll let the housekeeper know.” We wouldn’t stay there again although it’s not a bad option."
