What guests think

At Staybridge Suites Seattle - South Lake Union by IHG, guests highlight clean, comfortable suites with full kitchens, friendly staff, and a convenient, quiet location within walking distance or short rides to the Space Needle, Lake Union, and downtown.

Common frustrations include very tight, limited on-site parking with high fees and occasional congestion around the garage. Breakfast is included but feedback ranges from decent to disappointing, with limited variety, crowds, and sometimes lukewarm items. Service is mixed at the front desk, housekeeping is not automatic during stays unless requested, and elevator waits can be long at busy times. Expect practical comforts and location value more than a polished, full-service experience.

The bar in the Even hotel was quite enjoyable worh the bartender Kristin and the different games of bingo that were played. The only problem was that the room was not ready upon arrival was given a different but the problem was resolved the next day. The one bedroom suite did have a faulty toilet seat and the shower doors were quite difficult to close. Other then a most enjoyable stayvin Seattle. Nd

The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and spacious. We had two rooms and in one of the rooms the air conditioning wasn’t working. Thankfully, the front desk moved us into a new room so there was no issue. The hotel had many cruise guests and they were not exactly courteous to others. They were blocking the breakfast area with their luggage as they waited for transportation. I believe this is where the hotel staff told them to wait but there were way too many people and luggage for the space provided. This was annoying as we tried to navigate through the luggage and people chatting to get to the breakfast line. The breakfast was very unimpressive, I would just skip it if I were you! The elevators were a long wait in the morning, it took almost 15 minutes to get back upstairs from breakfast area. The parking garage is extremely tight. Upon exiting we were forced to wait as the cruise patrons were loading their transfer vehicles at the exit to the parking garage. The hotel needs to work on managing a space for the cruise patrons and regular hotel guests. I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again due to this inconvenience.

I'll say.... FOR THE PRICE, YOU GET COMFORTABLE ACCOMMODATIONS. RESTAURANT AND BAR. GREAT MAINTENANCE AND CLEAN SERVICE. FRONT DESK, NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. IGNORE THAT, YOU CAN GET A GREAT GUEST EXPERIENCE. REMEMBER, IGNORE FRONT DESK INCOMP...., YOU SHOULD BE FINE.... P.S. TWO HOTELS IN ONE AND THE HOTEL FRONT DESK THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE OTHER, THEN YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. i.e. feel like a step child, you'll be treated like a step child even if you don't feel like one before.... Otherwise, great bang for your hard earned dollars and indifference, however, the Latino Staff DID SAVE THE DAY! WOW, OUTSTANDING STAFF (MINUS FRONT DESK EVEN GROUP.) WILLING TO AMEND THIS OPINION.... HOWEVER, IF YOU WERE MY FRIEND AND FAMILY, I WOULD ADVISE THE FRONT DESK EXPERIENCE ISSUES.

This was one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in. I was assigned a room on the 4th floor and it the bed sheets were not made and they were dirty pots on the stove of the studio kitchen. They assigned us a new room and said it was an ‘upgraded’ room but it was the same exact room style I had booked. I also paid $45 to park in the underground parking garage and there was no spots left. Overall a terrible stay.

We were able to walk from the hotel to the Space Needle and Lake Union, which was convenient. On our last day there, a metal ceiling tile (in our room—1401) fell open and nearly missed hitting me in the head. We reported it and I don’t feel like anyone really cared. Also, one evening we wanted to sit outside on the patio, but it was closed due to a private party. That was frustrating as well.

Pleasantly surprised how nice this hotel was. Google sent us to the wrong hotel at first since there are two Staybridges within a couple miles of each other but we found the one our reservation was at. The room was quiet, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Room had a full kitchen which we didn’t need but it was nice. Bathroom was clean and had all the necessities there. The only confusing thing was that Staybridge and the EVEN Hotel are together and use the same reservation desk. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was super clean and was easily one of the most secure hotels I've ever stayed in. Public transportation (bus pickup) was literally steps from the entrance which made days we didn't want to take Uber or Lyft super convenient. We would definitely suggest this hotel to friends and family and would absolutely stay again if we ever travel back to Seattle in the future.

Room was perfect for two adults and a teen, but definitely much smaller than expected. However, it was nice having a kitchen with a full fridge/freezer as we stayed 3 nights and it helped us save a little money. The front desk wasnt very friendly with checking us in. Literally zero customer service, but the person who greeted us as we came and left the days following was very kind. The shower had horrible water pressure, even the teen mentioned it and its not something he'd usually comment on. The hide-a-bed was also really uncomfortable, so he opted to sleep on it as a couch instead. The main room's bed was really cozy though! The free breakfast was nice, but not very many options. Basically oatmeal with limited toppings, potatoes, a meat option (pork sausage), eggs in either scrambled or "cheese omelet" form that wasn't the best and some waffle makers. Only had bananas and apples as fruit, a little yogurt and then your basic bread options for toast and bagels. Based on pics I saw, I expected more variety but it was free and nice to be included with our room. The location was great too! A 20 min walk to the Climate Pledge Arena and the Space Needle area. I'd stay again despite the areas that could use a little improvement.

Great place to stay. The room was clean had e full size fridge, disk washer, microwave oven and toaster. The market was about a 20 minute walk next to the space needle. About 20 minutes walk to space needle. There a bus stop in front of hotel that take you to Pike Market. About $3 a trip. The morning Buffet was great drom 6:30am to 9:30am. We only had one issue and that was when the rain storm came in it took out the power for the fridge. But it was fixed by the next day. Staff was very friendly. The Security was great at this hotel you had to have a keypass to get in the elevator or to get into the building. Very saft. LLP

If you like walking then this location is good for Space needle, museums, and the aquarium (20 - 30 min walk); wasn't too far from the airport in a car either (15 - 20). Room was clean but for some reason there was tape over the microwave timer which became quickly annoying. Bed was comfy and kitchen was functional. The infant crib was actually a pack n play but a big one at least. If bars are your scene there is definitely multiple within walking distance (5 - 10 minutes). Finally, the staff was incredibly nice and accomidating and when we asked for extra towels or anything it would be at our room within minutes! Would recommend
