The Belltown Inn

Great room for the money

Overall the hotel was nice. 3rd street was pretty noisy so if you ended up getting a room on that side of the hotel I think it would not be a pleasant stay (since there is not air conditioning we needed our windows open). Staff was friendly and the hotel was clean. They allow pets and we just happened to be there one night when the inter courtyard because loud at night because there were dogs barking. Location was great...very easy to walk to the different Seattle sights and nice that it wasn't in the middle of city congestion. FYI-there were some seedy people around that part of town but it didn't feel dangerous.

Hotel great, neighborhood not

This is a great example of a place that looks wonderful online but very different when you get there. The hotel itself was fine-nice staff, clean rooms, a business center where I could use computers free to check emails, and the location within a stone's throw of the water, Space Needle, Pike Market and light rail to go to the ballpark or other destinations. However, it was the neighborhood that was quite scary. The road construction around didn't make it any better, but walking along Third Street (the main bus route) there were many vacant buildings, a few dive bars and unclean people just hanging around. The view from my window was of a dumpy open lot scattered with junk next door, and the walls of the building next to it covered in graffiti. Just steps from the entrance I was approached by a young girl who said she was pregnant and hungry and wanted money, and there were a number of ladies of the night walking around. This hotel is noted on many maps so you'd think it would be OK...and the Belltown section of town is noted in a Where Map as "a chic residential area" with "a roster of trendy clubs, boutiques and eateries". While the hotel is fine the area is dark and doesn't appear all that safe. If you're in your 20s and don't care it's a nice place to stay, otherwise you probably should spend the extra $ and stay in the nicer places in the retail area.

if only.....

this would have been a terrific hotel had there been air conditioning. unfortunately for us, we arrived at the start of a heatwave. the hotel provided a floor fan and thank goodness for the ceiling fan! also, there was construction on the street below for new electrical wiring underground which made for noisy mornings. however, the staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, and that alone would bring me back to belltown inn.

GREAT HOTEL!!!

When leaving on a cruise out of Seattle, this is the place to stay. Convenient to the ports and staff is very accomodating. We were able to store our luggage there when we arrived early in the morning and explore the city. When we returned from our cruise they let us store our luggage again because we had a late flight. The roof top deck is a great place to hang out and view the city and the harbor. Loved it!

Great hotel and location

Seems to be an older hotel from the outside, however inside is all new. Very nice room with kitchenette, Clean and modern room was very impressed. And what a great location, this hotel is in the "free" bus zone and using public transportation was very easy. Highly recomend this hotel without hesitation. Front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. thanks to all the staff at the Belltown!!

Location, location, location!

Belltown is a very nice hotel. Great location to explore the city!

Great Room for the Money

Overall, an excellent bargain. 3rd ave is not the nicest street in downtown, but 1 block away is filled with great restaurants and bars. It's conveniently located to much of what's exciting in downtown Seattle (Farmer's Market, Seattle Center, etc.). The staff was Superb!! Basically the way I saw it was, The Belltown Inn is a two star hotel, with 3 star accommodations, and 4 star service. The neighborhood was "meh" but walking inside put you in a different place. If you're looking for luxery, not the place to stay. But if you're looking for value, this is it.

OK for the money

It was a hot week in August, and the room did not have any air conditioning. At least there were fans, but the room never really cooled down. It was a nice area of town, easy to walk to Space Needle, restaurants, Pike Place Market, Aquarium, boat tours, etc. The room was clean -- small -- but fairly nice otherwise.

Great value

We were attending a wedding that took place in the Edgewater hotel a few blocks down on the water. The price and location of this Inn was a little concerning as we were traveling into Seattle, but upon arrival our concerns were put to rest. This is a newly renovated location; the lobby is pristine and our room was great & all of the staff were helpful and gracious. The neighborhood around it is up and coming and this is a great deal to be had in the Belltown area. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a deal.

Nice for the price and area

Overall a very nice hotel, clean and well kept. Only problem is having a 3rd Street facing room as it was rather noisy even with the window closed (major bus route).
