Impressed

Since this was my first visit to Seattle with my family, I wanted a hotel that was close to downtown, but far away from the traffic and noise. The shuttle service was so covenient that we didn't have to rent a car. Also a plus to the hotel was the fact that they had breakfast which was included in the price which I felt was an extra bonus. The staff was very friendly. Also another added plus was the hours for the pool and the work-out room, pretty much you can come and go as you please, so it nice to take advantage of that as well. I honestly wish that we stayed here our entire trip, but unfortunately it wasn't available for the remaining visit at the price we secured a couple of months back. Which brings me to the other hotel we stayed at, which I can honestly say only one positive thing about that place was the young lady who shuttle us around was extremely friendly, but the ladies that worked the breakfast area was extremely rude and pretty much accused us of overeating on something that was included in their hotel package. They made rude comments and whispered something to the front desk, as she was standing only a couple of feet away. I won't mention the Courtyard Marriott by the airport, next to the mall. The only suggustion that I would make for improvements of the hotel is it would have been nice to have a restaurant in the hotel, especially for room service. But other than that, We had a wonderful stay and I would stay there again. Oh an by the way they have free self service washer and dryer

Thank goodness for the hotel shuttle!

My family have stayed at the Lake Union for several years, we come down from Canada to watch the Mariner's. We've tried to request the two rooms that have a balcony on the 3rd floor, just north of the breakfast room and they're great in the summer time.....but overall we love staying there, and the shuttle takes us to the games every year and picks us up too, that's a huge plus!

It's All Good

This was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. Even the stairways were immaculate. Breakfast was very good but the dining area gets crowded on the weekends. Parking was free. There's a second level that had more available spaces. If you don't have a car, you can use the hotel shuttle to get to the Space Needle, Pike Place or Pioneer Park. You can easily get downtown using public transit. You can walk to some restaurants and even take a cruise from the pier at the other side of the lake. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and safe. The staff was courteous and let us check in early. Go for the waterside view. It's worth the extra $$. Overall, everything was as advertised and well worth the price. You will not be disappointed

It was Great

The room was great and clean Free Breakfast Free Parking Free Internet

Lovely place to stay

This was a very nice hotel across from Lake Union which has a nice waterfront with several restaurants and lovely yachts to browse. We had a room overlooking the lake and could also see the Seattle skyline and space needle. The pool and hot tub worked out well for our granddaughters and there is a very complete fitness center! Breakfast is included but it was very crowded with guests and the hotel did not seem to have enough help to keep the dishes washed and available and to keep the food out for everyone in a timely way. They need to work on crowd flow and add additional servers for the breakfast. We were there on a weekday so I can't imagine how they manage on weekends. The hotel offers a free shuttle to several downtown spots in Seattle which is very helpful as the Seattle traffic is difficult! I would definitely stay there again.

A great deal and a great location

The hotel was great. While it's not downtown, we found Seattle to be a very accessible city with easy cheap parking. It was nice to drive to pioneer square, visit the downtown but then return back to this getaway on the lake. Awesome view and multiple great restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely return to this hotel.

Nice hotel

Stayed at the Silver Cloud for four days in April 2009. Chose the hotel due to proximity to Space Needle, overall neighborhood of soutthern Lake Union, and reviews from tr1padvisor. Arrived late in the early afternoon and wasn't allowed to check in until two hours later. They said the room wasn't cleaned yet. This was a first for me and I have been travelling every year since I was a baby. Overall, hotel is clean and comfy. There are some nice seafood places in front of the hotel. The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the Seattle Center and two other locations near downtown Seattle. Nice hotel, but I would have preferred to stay closer to the QFC on Mercer and 5th.

Great for a family vacation

The hotel was very clean and the staff was very helpful. The key for us was that the hotel offered free shuttle service to the Space Needle, Pioneer Square, and Pike's Place Market. The shuttles left every 1/2 hour and picked us up within 15 mins of requesting a pickup. They were also very helpful in getting us a limo to the airport at a very reasonable price (same price as a cab ride). The hotel was quiet at night and seemed family oriented. We were, also, very pleased with the complementary breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel to all my friends that travel to Seattle with a family. The only improvement I would recommend to the hotel is to reduce the street noise. With the windows closed we could still hear the cars/trucks passing by the hotel, but it was not a deal breaker for us.

Great location and amenities

Loved the location and the hotel. Many amenities, We go to Seattle 2 - 3 times a year, and will now always stay here.
