MarQueen Hotel - Seattle

We stayed at this hotel for vacation. Hotel is so pretty and we got great deal by Hotels.com. We stayed one additional day and it cost much more than we were expectiong. Hotels.com helped us so much for saving.

It's not so much that the bed was BAD...but it was just alright, and the sheets kept coming off it all through the night, which is irritating, but not a deal breaker by any stretch of the imagination. Frankly, I probably could have asked for better/newer sheets, but it really just wasn't worth it to me. All in all, I thought this hotel was great. The […] location was perfect. Close to the Space Needle and Seattle Center, easy access to a ton of bus lines and no problems getting a cab in this neighborhood. The small kitchenette in the room was an added bonus and gave us an awesome space for late night munching on the greasy Dick's burgers bought down the street. The room was clean and the closet space was fantastic. Honestly, the strangest thing about the place was that it was almost a mirror image of my friend's apartment that i went to go visit in the first place. I will definitely stay here again if come to Seattle. The price was great for the area and staff was incredibly helpful and coureous. The included breakfast was a bonus (though it wasn't anything super spectacular, I am good with a bagel and coffee in the morning so I was good). Overall, a very good experience and would certainly recommend to a friend. Read more

The hotel is walking distance to the Seattle Center which includes the Space Needle, there are surrounding shops and restaurants and it is a nice and safe neighborhood. The hotel itself was clean and roomy with the friendliest staff I have experienced. They were also quick to respond when called. Taxis were easy to get and my overall experience was […] wonderful; I would recommend this hotel to a friend and definitely will use it again in the future. Read more

I had to change my travel plans the day of the trip and they not only accomadated me but I ended up in a upgraded room for the same price. Located on the edge of downtown close enough to all the shops but away from the traffic surrounded by several good resturants. The service was outstanding and very friendly.

This was a charming older hotel in the Queen Anne Section of Seattle. We walked just a couple of blocks and were in the beautiful older, pricey homes of Seattle -- a lovely place for a walk and a great view of the city. We walked everywhere! And the hotel was easy to get to and return to each evening. The breakfast was nice and sufficient and served […] in a charming little room. The front desk was very pleasant and helpful. So worth the stay! Read more

The Marqueen is a charming hotel, with a very friendly and helpful staff to go with it. The front desk people were very interested in making sure our experience was a good one, and the parking valet literally ran to take care of our needs. The Marqueen is an incredible bargain for an attractive, historical property in a convenient location - the only […] issues that make it a 4 instead of a 5 are: 1) Daily Parking fee (to which they add a tax of approximately 13%). It's reasonable and in line with other parking fees in the area, but still a significant added cost; 2) The continental breakfast offered is very basic. The staff in charge of the breakfast room and service are very friendly and helpful, but the food choices are plain and uninspired, particularly for a foodie town like Seattle; 3) While we were young (50's) and fit enough to handle the four flights of stairs to get to the 3rd floor (with luggage), the lack of an elevator could be an issue for some travelers who are booked on the top floor. Overall, we would be very happy to stay at the Marqueen again the next time we're in Seattle. Read more

Great service throughout my weeklong stay at this property. Would definitely return.

This is a really great hotel for the price. The rooms are really big with a lot of character. One thing to note is that they have 3 floors but no elevator. That may not be a problem for you but if it is you might want to request the bottom floor. The draw back is you might get some street noise. The location is really good. Close to Seattle Center, […] Space Needle and Monorail which will take you into town to the light rail for $2.50 one way. Lots of good restaurants near by too. Make sure you go to the top of Queen Anne Ave. (up the hill). The bus will take you. Take a left on W. Highland to Kerry Park for the quintessential view of Seattle. Beautiful! Go further down a few more blocks for a spectacular view of Puget Sound. Read more

What a great neighborhood and nice hotel. Location was perfect. I had a rental car and was able to find parking each night without a problem. I would have liked it if they had a business center with internet access - but that was the only thing lacking. I would stay here again. Great price too.

Great location with alot of shops and restaurants, etc. nearby. I was alarmed to see that the windows would not open. Where is the fresh air coming from? Lots of old chipping paint and worn through the finish floors. Heaters in the room are noisy but no street noise, again, non-openable double windows. Price is what makes it worthwhile. Street parking […] can be a challange with two hour meetering. Didn't do the valet thing, but that would have been easier if you are willing to spend the sur-charge and the valet tips. Read more

The first thing they tell yuou is that the parking is $25 fro your entire stay. What they forgot to say was it was per day. Even when I asked them specifically, they said $25.00 for entire stay. Three nights $84.39 Next the continental breafast had NO Juice, are you kidding Me. The fruit was either an Apple or Banana, and NO toast. Just bagels. The […] rooms were old, but very dated. I think the pillows were original with the Hotel. I have stayed in about 20 different places in the last month, and they were Number 1 in being the worst places to stay... This is my first negative review with Hotels.com Read more

My fiance and I stayed at the Marqueen for two nights. This a lovely, old hotel. Very historic. We checked and was immediately greeted by the bell cap and front desk associates. We were given the choice of a room on any of their 3 floors and was told in advance there was no elevator. The dual stairs are beautiful, so we didnt mind walking up and down […] to the 3rd floor. The neighborhood is great, right at the base of Queen Anne Hill. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance. Room was large and spacious (old apartment), we had a kitchen and a sitting room. It is an old hotel, so your typical weird plumbing or noises is normal, but did not change how we feel about this great hotel. Although we didn't attend, there is a complimentary breakfast, thought that was a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again. Read more

Parking charges not explained at $25./night. Must use valet. Extremely limited utensils, cookware. Full size refrigerator, much larger than necessary/ Unique accommodations.

Lovely building w/ obvious signs of gradual upgrades. Bed mattress was in need of replacement. But great location with wonderful kitchen amenities. Price was right and would certainly stay there again and will recommend it to others as well. thanks

We were extremely pleases with our stay. There is a valet service 24 hours out front that greets you and helps with your luggage. The inside is very beautiful and the front desk person was friendly and prompt. The only real negative thing about the hotel is no elevator. We came back intoxicated and making our way up the all the stair cases was quite […] the chore. The room however was very clean and a beautiful view of the water. The hotel is very close to everything to see in Seattle, it was great being walking distance from the Space Needle. I recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a nice get away. Read more

The staff were very courteous, but the overall condition of the hotel is mediocre. The rooms are large read:not cozy. Was hard to get comfortable. Would rather have less space and more comfort in the room. The stairs going upstairs had not been vacuumed in a while, and the first room we went into was smelly but the second one was not too bad. Location […] very good and the room service comes from local businesses which I like a lot. Read more

The MarQueen is an outstanding value. The staff is very professional. The rooms are large and have a full kitchen and separate sitting room. Good location with many restaurants nearby, walking distance to downtown and to Key Arena/Seattle Center. Bus route right by hotel. Breakfast is a little sparse (bagels, apples/oranges, coffee/tea, breakfast bars, […] but with the price, you can go out or get something to eat in the room with the full kitchen. Good deal!

This is a fantastic hotel -- Great location, great staff, and lovely rooms. We made the reservations last minute, and were just expecting a regular hotel room, but it was really a suite, with a full kitchen and a breakfast nook overlooking the Space Needle. Amazing.

Stayed over night on New Years to avoid driving. Hotel staff is awesome, room was great. Even when I went searching for the ice machine at about 3am, I was intercepted by staff and he ran and got the ice for me.

My family and I needed a few days away. Enjoyed the hotel, the neighborhood and staff. Our only complaint was that two days in a row, our towels were dirty, right off the rack. It was really gross. Parking was 25.00 a day, but you can find spots just west of the hotel for free, just be patient. Loved the front reception girl, very helpful.

We have stayed twice at the Marqueen...Christmas 2011 and Summer 2010. Both times we have been happy with their welcoming ways, with the location and with the accommodations. We've actually stayed in 4 different rooms, and they are all very similar......large, include a kitchen and are simply but nicely appointed. Proximity to the Seattle Center, Queen […] Ann resturants, short walk to the waterfront and a real authentic Seattle feel are the highlights....The Metro Market a block away is a great bonus. We love the Marqueen! Read more

Wonderful Hotel. Staff Superb. Centrally located. Very original 1900's rooms. Large, kitchens, nicely furnished. Parking can be difficult....valet expensive. Would highly recommend.

I love this hotel! I have always had great service and love the rooms. This last stay I had a bad room though. The pillows smelled like an old man's head, the hot water didin't work in the bathroom sink and the kitchen sink was plugged. I brought this to the front desk's attention and they jumped right on it. They have great customer service. I love […] this hotel!!! Read more

This is an older property, so do not expect a pristine condition room. The room we had was very comfortable and charming. The hotel is full of character and history. The room was relatively clean, as it is very difficult to keep wood floors and old tile floors hospital clean. Great location for walking to City Center,Key Arena, Space Needle, etc. and […] also not too far to walk to attractions on Elliott Bay. Bed was an oldie, springy and very comfortable. We cannot remember the last time we slept so well on a hotel bed, and we have stayed in some very "nice" hotels! Kudos to the the staff!! I think the Valet's name was Steven. He is a very personable and efficient young man. The front desk person was a pretty young blonde, a local Seattle girl. We really loved her capable and natural demeanor. They were so very friendly and helpful! We will make this hotel our choice the next time we visit Seattle. Read more

We took a chance on the MarQueen and were not disappointed. My wife and I normally choose larger chain hotels (Westin or Hyatt), but decided on a change this trip. The pictures and descriptions of the MarQueen do not do it justice. This place has so much character and soul. When you walk through the front door, you feel like you are in a different place...like […] something you'd read about n an old crime novel. The front staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. It was like everyone actually cared about your visit and knew the neighborhood like the back of their hand. No stuffy consierge...just a really friendly girl behind the front desk. The bell staff was also great! The rooms are the real prize here. They used to be apartments...places where autoworkers actually lived. The floors are beautifully preserved original wood. They creak and sing when you walk. The bed and linens were super comfortable and the kitchenette and bath had everything we needed. The MarQueen Hotel was certainly one of the highlights in another great trip to Seattle. Read more

Was bumped up to a full suite upon arrival due to a wedding party. My best friend arrived from southern California later. Her room was just OK, a little smelly as the building is very old. Noise no longer a problem as they have installed full glass panels on the inside of the existing windows. Bummer you can't open the windows though. My suite was very […] nice but showing some age since the remodel. Pretty clean and nicely appointed. The service was super - room service from 10 Mercer expensive with 30% service charge, 20% built-in gratuity and WA sales tax almost 10%. So, go eat out or bring in pizze from across the street. Bed very comfy - flat screen tv in livingroom too small and cabinett door didn't fold to the side so viewing ackward. Overall, very satisfied. Friend moved into my suite after I left. Read more

Spacious rooms, good price, good service. I liked to the decore. Will stay again if I pass through this area.

Everything about this remodeled old hotel was elegant except that the hardwood floors creaked when you walked across them. Very comfortable. We knew there were no elevators, but wanted the area. Walked to dinner at the Space Needle after checking in. Staff was very nice and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Marqueen Hotel in Seattle. It has a wonderful charm and character of times gone by, with it's spacious hallways, antique furnishings, hardwood floors and framed black and white historical photos. The 2 queen beds were comfortable with fresh white linens, but the pillows were lumpy. The pullout couch bed seemed smaller […] than a single size, not suitable for an adult, and the mattress was thin and uncomfortable. We used one of the bedspreads folded up for an underlay. The room we had was #216 on the second floor at the back side of the building. We were a bit disappointed to find that the view from the windows was a wall of another building that had been painted with tropical plants and marble pillars to enhance it. The wall was about 2 meters away so that the room did get some daylight, but not a lot. Take note that this hotel does not have elevators, but it wasn't a problem for us. An air-conditioning unit was built into the window which we used as the weather was quite warm and muggy. It worked well but was too noisy to leave on during the night, so we just opened the window for fresh air. The bathroom has an old type tub with a quaint shower attachment, a pedestal sink (no counter space) with only a very small glass shelf that sloped, so not safe to place anything breakable on it. There was a small set of shallow shelves built into the wall but not really useful for holding personal accessories. The walls throughout looked freshly painted. The suite also had a separate small kitchen with a window (same view as the bed room) over a nook style table with bench seating on either side. It also had a coffeemaker, a microwave, fridge, dishes and cutlery and a sink but no tea towels or dish lotion that we noticed. Although the hotel is located on a somewhat busy street, the sound did not carry into the room. The location of the hotel was perfect for us -- only about a 10 minute drive from Pier 91 Cruise Ship Terminal, a 10 minute bus rid Read more

We enjoyed the courteous, accommodating staff who were so helpful to all our questions and gave us great reccommendations on restaurants close by. We thought it was in a good, safe location and walked everywhere we went including Pike's Market, downtown Seattle to shop, and very close to the Space Needle. A couple good restaurants just across the street […] from the hotel so had no problem finding breakfast, lunch or dinner. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and it's quiet. We would definately stay at the Marqueen again in a return trip to Seattle. Read more

This isn't a 5 diamond resort, its a very cute, charming, quaint little vintage hotel. It's exactly what I wanted, but thats my taste, not necessarily everyone else's...

The MarQueen is located just outside of the downtown Seattle in the Queen Anne neighborhood. It's an easy bus ride to get anywhere downtown and a 5-10 minute walk to the Seattle Center (Space Needle, science center, sci fi museum, etc.). Some of the best views of the city are a fast, though steep, walk up Queen Anne Hill from Kerry Park, near the MarQueen. The […] building has a very interesting history and a unique feel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very kind and helpful. The coffee shop attached to the hotel, Cafe Ladro, was unreal and rightly deserves all of it's "best of" titles! It's a must-visit for any coffee connoisseur. One of the biggest perks of this hotel was having a kitchenette in our room. Many nights our family got carry out from the Metropolitan Market one block away (very similar to Whole Foods) and ate in our rooms. It was a great, less expensive alternative to always dining out while on vacation! Read more

When ever I am in Seattle, I always stay at this lovely hotel.

Two sets of sisters take a trip together every year and this year it was Seattle. We all agree that this was the best place we have ever stayed on any of our 8 trips!

we were there to see an opera...perfect location for that and many other sights...love the metropolitan grocery open 24 hours!

We stayed there at the end of July and had a wonderfully large room with 2 queen beds and a kitchenette. LOVE the antique furniture, but the best thing was the front desk service and the bellhop - they jumped at every opportunity to help us out with whatever we needed. Parking was either via valet or on the street but wasn't too bad for the end of a […] weekend. I'd definitely stay here again! Read more
