What guests think
At Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union, travelers consistently mention friendly staff, spacious suites with kitchens, and a lakeside location, while feedback also highlights a popular free breakfast, family friendly amenities, and mixed experiences with parking, noise, and upkeep.
Many appreciate the indoor pool, hot tub, and kids’ game room, but recurring comments cite murky water, occasional closures, and a tight, expensive garage. Rooms are generally large with lake views available, though some feel dated, report maintenance snags or slow Wi‑Fi, and note street or construction noise. Breakfast is frequently praised, yet several guests found it crowded or understaffed at times, and the bar/restaurant operates with limited hours. Expect a roomy, family friendly stay in a scenic spot, tempered by parking hassles and occasional maintenance or cleanliness lapses.

Nice property. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Would be nice to have a robe(s) and slippers in the room. Nice spa and gaming area. Games are a little outdated but were fun. Hot tub needs to be cleaned regularly. Water was dark and murky. Pool was clean. Pleasant breakfast area. Decent selection of food. Would be nice to see a few more pastry items, such as croissants and muffins. Staff are efficient and friendly.

The breakfast buffet food was inedible. The breads were stale, the meat was over cooked, the eggs were tasteless, no cream on the coffee bar. The front desk staff are untrained and do not always tell the truth. When we arrived, we asked if we could plug in our EV in the garage and the front desk clerk informed us their were charging stations located in the parking garage. That was a lie; there are no EV charging locations on this property. Our door lock and key had multiple issues. There were bags of garbage left in the hallway for several days which made it smell. And we left a day early. The manager refused to refund us for one night’s stay; we should have received $260 back. I would not recommend this property.

From check in to check out, our stay was outstanding. Our host at check in made it very easy to get settled, signed me up for Marriott rewards and offered me late check out for signing up. Our room was comfortable, amenable and convenient. It had a great view from the balcony of the lake . The pool area was clean and comfortable. Overall our entire stay was amazing and I I will d to friends and family in the future.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. You could see the effort that they were putting into keeping the lobby and common areas clean and inviting. I would recommend this establishment to any friends and family who were traveling with pets and children. The pool area and game room were also really fun.

Everything for the most part is great. Staff is helpful and friendly. Hotel is clean…pool and hot tub are a little questionable - the water is very murky. The worst experience is finding a parking space in their garage (the cost is 41+tax per overnight). It was awful looking for a parking spot to squeeze into. Once we did get into a space, there was maybe a foot clearance for our doors, we had to squeeze out of our car. It was terrible and especially considering the cost for parking.

This place was amazing for the price. The breakfast was great, the pool was nice, and the kids play area was a nice feature. Only two problems I had were the hot tub jets didn’t work and one night when we got back, there wasn’t any parking in the garage. The front desk let us park right in front in the “check in” parking. I was appreciative of that but it felt a little unsafe to leave my car out in the open like that

Cleanliness
Many reviews describe clean rooms and common areas, yet there are repeated reports of dirty bathrooms, odors, mold, stained linens, and missed or infrequent housekeeping. Overall cleanliness feels inconsistent across stays.

The room was dirty and smelled. The ice machine did not work. We were traveling with our infant and asked for a crib and received an old broken play pen. We booked a Lake View room and there was no view of the lake when we asked to move room the manager yelled at us and said that there was a view even if we can barely see it and that if we want to move rooms we need to get our stuff out but they don’t know when another room will be ready.

Slow wifi and you need to lift the sink drain plug so it will drain properly. Paid in advance the for lake view reservation and yet we didn’t get it. So expensive to stays there and it’s not worth it. nobody clean up our rooms the next morning! Really???

We were staying at this location for a trip to space needle. We were very disappointed with the cleanliness, we had hair in our shower, bathroom looked dirty. When we complained at the front desk, the lady working at counter stated “what do you want me to do”. It was bad enough that we checked out one day earlier. I have stayed at many Marriott locations/brands, but this is the first time I was disappointed. The pictures on the Expedia site is not what you walk into. Hotel is rundown, and not to Marriott standard. I can look past lot of things but cleanliness is something I expect to be great. Was supposed to be a family mini vacation for us but we were disappointed and lost money for a entire night.

I liked that it was literally across from the city fireworks. The complementary breakfast was amazing. The room was huge. It had all the comfort of home. It was very walkable, easy access to public transportation and close to downtown, shopping and space needle. What I didn’t like was paying $41 a night for parking and that the spaces were so small two full size cars could barely fit next to each other. Most had to take two spaces to enter and exit their vehicles easily. That however seems to be a Seattle thing because with few exceptions, all parking lots were the same.

The room was comfortable for our family of 4. I was not a fan of the sofa bed , as the mattress was not very comfortable. The cleanliness could have been better. We ended up finding someone’s Pringle snacks in the cupboard and a pair of crocs under the bed. It reminds me of a little studio apartment. We end up having to pay for parking , which was about $40/night.

The street noise made it difficult to sleep. Busses were parked directly below the window and remained running. People also were standing outside under the windows smoking cigarettes and talking. Choose the lakefront side or higher up. Otherwise it was a great stay.

Hotel was good, clean, well run, etc, so no complaints about any of that. Bed was a bit "tired", and though the room was spacious, bathroom was cramped. Main reason for booking here was access to hot tub. Unfortunately, though it was functional, jets didn’t really work. All in all, solid 8 out of 10.

There was an avoidable mixup with the front desk. I presented my ID and said the room was under my name. The clerk fixated on my boyfriend's different last name instead. She put us into a reservation of a guest with very similar name. They then locked us out of our room and said we disnt have reservations which we did. They tiok my boyfriends daughter ID who was there as our guest!!! Wven after the manager said to the clerk to return us to our room she kept it up. The manager finally said she told you over and over the reservation was under her name, just look up her name. It was embarassing for everyone in our group. The breakfast and accommodations were great though. They comped our parking but that didnt feel like enough. but this put a da.perwequname.

We stayed at this hotel last summer and had a wonderful time. This stay was different. The staff other than the lovely lady at the front desk seem unmotivated and unwelcoming.The breakfast area was dirty each morning, the cutlery ran out and the counters around the food were filthy. It was far less busy than July when we stayed 5 days. This is not what we experienced last summer. The breakfast choices were less and uninteresting. No brown bread or muffins. Though we had a good view of the lake from our room the couch in the living room was very uncomfortable to sit on to watch tv. The electric charging stations are not monitored. A car was parked across two spots for two days and was not charging. This summer when we come down we will probably stay somewhere else. We are Bonvoy members and this is not what we experience at other locations.

A car was parked across two spots for two days and was not charging. This summer when we come down we will probably stay somewhere else. We are Bonvoy members and this is not what we experience at other locations.

The staff was excellent and truly made myself and my family feel like royalty. Our rooms had everything we needed for a comfortable stay even with 6 adults in the room. The room was quiet, clean and spacious. The breakfast had so much variety and the kitchen staff made sure everything was clean and well stock.

Our experience was fantastic! Linuh was amazing, and the check-in process was smooth and welcoming. We stayed for a couple of days before setting off on our cruise, and it was the perfect start to our trip. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting—Seattle is amazing!

The hotel itself is nice and comfortable, but the staff, not so friendly! Mustache/Michael, at the front desk was the worst! Another negative is that you need to pay $51.19 per day for parking in addition to hotel costs. You can “park out on the street” instead of in their parking garage, but that costs too.

Location
Scenic setting on Lake Union with easy access to transit and major sights like the Space Needle and Pike Place; handy for Fred Hutch and Seattle Children’s. Some guests report construction or street noise and limited dining immediately nearby.

I liked that it was literally across from the city fireworks. The complementary breakfast was amazing. The room was huge. It had all the comfort of home. It was very walkable, easy access to public transportation and close to downtown, shopping and space needle. What I didn’t like was paying $41 a night for parking and that the spaces were so small two full size cars could barely fit next to each other. Most had to take two spaces to enter and exit their vehicles easily. That however seems to be a Seattle thing because with few exceptions, all parking lots were the same.

Loved the location, had an appointment at Fred hutch so it was great. The area around the hotel is really nice and lots of restaurants within walking distance. Also loved that it was right next to lake union. Only complaint was the pull out couch in the room was horribly uncomfortable for the person sleeping on it. But aside from that the stay was good. Would definitely choose this place again.

Dining
Hot breakfast is widely appreciated for variety and value. At times it can feel crowded or understaffed, and the on‑site bar/restaurant offers limited hours or is closed.

The hotel is located in the business district. It has great access to the I-5 freeway. It's on the older side. Elevator button is falling off, pool temperature is a bit on the cool side and floors are beginning to look worn out. We rented the 2 bedroom suite. Size wise it is perfect for a family of 6. One bathroom has a temperature block on the shower/tub to prevent kids from getting burned. The bathtub in the king room had hair in the drain. Otherwise it was clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Onsite parking is a problem for trucks with a canopy.

This is a convenient place to stay for a person who is in and out. The We were on vacation and never up in time to take advantage of the free breakfast which is over at 9am. This is a bummer because i booked here for that reason however it was never stated that it was a buffet with an end time. We also booked here for the indoor pool which was murky and we were afraid to go in it. The pictures on the website did not match. Also the cafe/bar is limited hours (also not mentioned) and the first 2 days we were there it was closed. Also a bummer bc we have kids who need access to food at all hours lol. The staff is excellent. You can order delivery take out food which is convenient and you can walk to places. There is parking which is also a bonus. I feel had i been able to read all the details about room service hours and and breakfast hours i would have not booked. These were number ones for us. If that doesn't matter to you than you will love staying here.

Great hotel! Not happy that I had to pay $97.32 to park my car at the hotel during our stay. I will be mindful the next time I book that I read the small print. The hotel is clean, staff VERY friendly and helpful. The free breakfast had great tasting hot food and there was something for everyone. The fitness center was clean and had plenty of updated equipment to use. Our only complaint was that the Hot tub was not “hot”.

The bathroom could have been designed better. You have to almost step into the shower to close/open the door. The pool & hot tub were on the colder side. The pool & hot tub surfaces need to be resurfaced. Breakfast had an outstanding selection.
