La Quinta Inn & Suites Seattle Downtown

Super nice hotel! Great location! Great continental breakfast with a dope waffle machine, and the best front desk people! Made my stay, they were so friendly.

We came into town to take a tour, have dinner, and attend a play – all downtown. The location of this hotel allowed us to walk to each destination. The staff was friendly and helpful, the reasonable nightly rate included free parking, and the breakfast buffet offered scrambled eggs, sausage, and self-​made waffles, along with typical items.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights during the new year and had such a wonderful experience! Through
, we paid $ 350 for a 3 night stay. Taxi to and from the airport cost $ 40 – 45 each way before tips.
We chose this hotel over another hotel located in the heart of downtown Seattle to avoid the street noises and ensure a good night’s rest. It’s 0.7 miles from Pike Place Market (~15 min walk) and 0.6 miles from the Space Needle (~13 min walk). It was just a bit more of a walk than the other hotel, but a small price to pay for better quality!
Even though there was just the two of us, we got a room with 2 queen beds. Sometimes we chilled on the same bed, and sometimes we took up our own beds, oh the luxury! They had everything I wanted in a hotel room: cable tv, wifi, microwave, fridge, hair dryer, plenty of towels. Trust me, I’ve stayed in lots of hotels without these simple necessities!
They also provide complimentary breakfast (ends at 10am on weekends and 9am on weekdays)! The fluffy eggs and juicy sausages were surprisingly delicious. They also have yogurt, cereal, waffles, bagels, muffins, bananas, etc. It’s nothing fancy but I was impressed because the last hotel I stayed at that claimed to have complimentary breakfast turned out to serve mini muffins and capri sun…
Next to the elevators, they provide lemon infused water and lemonade. I made sure to always refill my water bottle. This is how I kept hydrated because I’m too cheap to pay $ 2 for a water bottle outside, haha! As we headed out one night, we found complimentary freshly baked cookies in the lobby. This made us SO HAPPY. They were so good I’m still dreaming about them: P Another day, we were not prepared for the rain so the front desk graciously lent us an umbrella to use. Service is just so great! Everyone who works here is very kind and helpful :)
My only complaint is that there is construction work all around the hotel. A lot of the sidewalks are closed so it was a bit inconvenient to get around. Thankfully the workers don’t work on weekends, but we did get an earlier wake up call on Monday morning due to the noise. But other than that, La Quinta is AWESOME and I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Great Value and location. Free parking and breakfast. Very close the downtown attractions. Friendly staffs.

Loved the room. Nice clean rooms with fridge, microwave and a large dressing area with a moderate sized bathroom. Right value for the price considering its perfect location right mid-​way between Pike Market and the Space Needle. You can see the Space Needle from the rooms — nice view! Staff is very friendly as well. Will stay here again definitely. It is a short walk the metro as well — 35 – 40 min train ride from the airport. Could not have asked for a better hotel at the price I paid!

WOW I was so happy with my stay at this La Quinta! The staff was nice and amazing at answering all my questions. The complimentary breakfast every morning was a great addition to my stay. The rooms are clean and the beds and comfy. I don’t have one bad thing to say about my stay here. The location of this hotel is great, your in walking distance of everything! Less than a 10 minute to/​from the LINK, 10 minute walk to the Space Needle, and a 20 minute walk to Pike Place Market. When I return to Seattle I will staying here again!
Thanks La Qunita Staff!

We had an excellent stay here. We chose this place for the parking availability in the downtown area„ and because dogs are allowed. The staff were very friendly and our two dogs loved them. Pets are allowed (on leash) anywhere in the hotel, except the dining area. When we made plans for dinner, we couldn’t leave the dogs in the room unattended (hotel policy) — when we asked the hotel staff for suggestions, the person at reception offered to watch the dogs for a few hours for dinner. We ended up going to a different place for dinner (dog-​friendly Belltown Pub) but we really appreciated the staff being willing to help.
Free warm breakfast, good wi-​fi, clean, bright nice décor. We would come back here again.

This a very nice place with FREE parking, FREE breakfast and an excellent location! Everyone I encountered (and I mean everyone) was professional and very nice and helpful.
Clean room. Everything worked properly.
The walls are a little thin so I’d recommend a white noise machine. I travel with a dohm.
Great experience overall.

Stayed here one night just passing through Seattle. The hotel was clean and the staff was super friendly! We had a really pleasant stay and the price was great for being city-​center

Definitely pro’s and con’s here. Pro’s: very nice lobby for this level hotel, good price, extremely friendly front desk staff, decent free breakfast, lemon water and lemonade in lobby all day, nice sized room with fridge, microwave, and 40″ flat screen. Con’s: although the Space Needle is nearby, 2 of us are disabled so we asked the hotel to call us a cab. Their preferred cab company ripped us off. The driver never started the meter and just charged us $ 10. The same ride back cost only $ 5. BEWARE THE ORANGE CAB CO. Also when we arrived at the cruise pier we called the hotel to ask if they had a shuttle to pick us up. They said yes. We didn’t expect the $ 40 cash only charge when we arrived. The honest cabbie we met told us cab fare would have only been about $ 10. Even with the «service please» sign on the door, housekeeping never cleaned our room at all. Very disappointed in that.

This is one of the better hotel I’ve stayed at. When we arrived we were a little worried because there is a lot of construction going on around the hotel. We were luckily on a side that didn’t get any of the noise. When we checked in the employee at the front desk took about 10 minutes to show us a map and circle cool places we should check out based on his experience. This was so helpful! Also they have free cookies out at the desk at night which always is a way to my heart. Along with the cookies there is a free breakfast. The best part of the stay was the beds. They were soooo comfy, which I guess was also kind of bad because I never wanted to get up. The hotel has computers and a printer for guests to use but no pool or gym there. The location was also great! It was about a 15 minute walk to the Space Needle. Not bad!

Fairly nice hotel and I would stay here again but it is marked down because one guest in our party was handicap and their accessible room was horrendous for accessibility.
The shower was a regular tub and shower combo with no handle bars at all. No handle bars by the toilet. Only thing accessible about the bathroom was it was wide and had a wide door. The bed part barely had enough room for a simple wheel chair to get alongside the bed. Definitely the least accessible handicap room I’ve ever seen!
Our room was a king suite and was much roomier although the bed area was narrow which is fine for us. No AC in the bed room so you have to keep the door open if it’s hot. Not unusual for the area. Beautiful finishes in the room. Mini fridge and microwave was nice. Love the free breakfast and they had lemonade and lemon water in the lobby. Nice touches.
We did need a pack n play and even though it was on the reservation we had to request again in our room. They were very quick to bring it and set it up though. Only frustration on that was no pack n play sheets which is a little gross when it’s being shared.
Desk staff was great and super helpful. Had to walk everywhere with baby and they gave wonderful directions. I was able to walk to westlake center for the train to the airport, pike’s place market, and space needle. The first two walks were a little tiring in the heat but space needle was very easy. We could even see it from the room.

My family and grandparents stayed here because it was the cheapest downtown hotel, so we shouldn’t have been surprised to see that the rooms weren’t the nicest. The carpet is an awful green that makes the room so dark, you think you’ve booked a room in a swamp. My grandma wanted to leave because she thought it was a dump. BUT, the pros outweigh the cons.
This hotel offers free fresh baked cookies at 7pm, and water, lemonade, and coffee with flavored creamers all day. The breakfast in the morning is limited (sausage, scrambled eggs, yogurt, toast variety, waffles, 3 cereals), but enough to fill yourself up. There is free wifi and two Mac computers in the lobby for guests to use.
They also offer a laundry machine for $ 1.50 per load, but the machine doesn’t work on hot water. Another thing that bothered me was how early room service came around. They come around as early as 7:30 in the morning when I’d guess most people are sleeping.
Overall a good place to stay. The staff is friendly and they have a fish tank with a blowfish that follows your hand, so that’s a bonus, right?

When it comes to hotels, I really don’t mind where I stay at because I look at a hotel as a place to just sleep. But man, this hotel is super awesome!!! The lobby is very cute and super modern. There are computers for your use, as well as complimentary water with fresh fruits in it. My fiancé and I got a room with a full sized bed and OMG these beds are sooooo comfy!!! I seriously did not want to get out of bed because it was the most comfortable beds that I have ever laid on! The hotel itself is nice and clean. The view was not so great but we had the shades closed the whole time. The TV is nice and big so we can watch some shows while in bed or just while we are getting ready for the night.
The best part about this hotel is COMPLIMENTARY breakfast!!! I love breakfast so when i hear this, this is a total added bonus! They have just your typical breakfast, waffles, bread, muffins, cereal, eggs, etc. Good breakfast just to fill your appetite! NOthing to spectacular though but hey, its free!
The service here is awesome! we ran out of toothpaste and they gave us some! Never knew they had all this stuff but apparently they have pretty much everything!
Definitely would come back to this place… just to sleep on the beds! ;)
NOTE:
–Complimentary breakfast until 9am

I generally like La Quinta so this was in a good location for what I needed and took a chance over a smaller, independent place. For this trip, it was price over presentation, let’s say.
The exterior is a little shabby and the parking situation isn’t immediately clear (although it is free) but the interior was quite well kept; especially the common areas. The room was spacious and the bed was quite comfy. The staff, while very casual which was a little off-​putting), were nice.
It’s within walking distance of just about everything you’d want in the downtown area although it feels far away for some reason. I’d definitely go back.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights during the week of Thanksgiving. Our experience was great! We received superior customer service and really enjoyed all the hotel amenities.
We paid for a standard room, but it turned out to be quite spacious. We also had a microwave and refrigerator. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom had plenty of counter space.
The breakfast was continental style, and was very good. In the lobby, there was always hot coffee or apple cider available. The hotel location was ideal – we were able to walk the whole city (including the Space Needle, Pikes market and waterfront). Overall, it was an excellent stay!

Best value hotel in the area, with reasonable rates, free Cont’l style bkfst, including make your own Belgium waffles, free lemonade & fruit water to help yourself to all day, & best of all, walking distance to Pike’s & the Space Needle.
Rm was very basic, but clean & that’s all we needed. Front desk was accommodating & stored our luggage free of charge after we checked out.
Check out was easy & Budget car rental literally was across the street to pick up our car.

We stayed here at this hotel for 3 nights. Value wise the stay was okay; but if you’re after peace and quiet – this is not the place to stay. You can hear the plumbing when someone turns on the shower and when the doors close.
In addition, plumbing was leaking in the garage and in the stairway exit from the second floor. Money being wasted; get these issues fix, asap! They also had a midnight conference going on in the hallway; loud enough to bring the cops over.
Room #208 had some major issues. TV and the microwave oven didn’t work properly as well as the small refrigerator. And it looks like someone was planning to burglarized this room if they didn’t do so already. The patio screen was cut and there was no latch to lock the patio door. Obviously, someone had removed it.
I was getting addicted to the free lemonade in the lobby. The complimentary breakfast the hotel offered was great; although it was nothing big to brag about. Everything was within walking distance; ie., Space Needles, Whole Foods, Gates Foundation Visitor Center, etc.
Parking was free for the guests. Lobby level parking is available if you’re lucky, since they are only eight spaces. And under the building; the subterranean garage is made for small vehicles and the parking spaces are very tight! If you drive a huge boat or a big foot truck, better look else where.
Overall, it could have been better. Hopefully management will take care of these issues I’ve mentioned and make it a pleasant stay for the next customer.

I stayed here recently for the first time and it was such a great experience. Everyone on the staff was very courteous and welcoming and the accommodations are nice. It’s a pet friendly hotel and they even have complimentary treats for dogs at the front desk. The lobby is well maintained and very modern, and they have complimentary lemonade and lemon water available ²⁴⁄₇. The lemonade was quite addictive! There are computers downstairs for guests to use and the property has free Wi-​Fi in the rooms; I had no problems connecting. The two room suite is quite spacious and almost feels like a small apartment. It was clean, but not immaculate. No major problems, though. It had a nice view of the Space Needle and included a microwave and refrigerator. The king size bed was really comfortable which made for a great night’s sleep.
There is a complimentary continental breakfast served until 9:30 am which consists of a hot item, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, muffins, toast, and waffles. The hot item varies from day to day, so one morning they offered biscuits and gravy and the next morning it was some sort of breakfast burrito. I never saw scrambled eggs which is usually available on most hot breakfast buffets, but perhaps it’s one of the items they rotate. I was only there for two nights, so it’s hard to say.
Unlike most of the downtown hotels, there is free parking but it is somewhat limited. There are spaces available in the parking lot, and there is a small garage below the property. I was able to find parking both nights, but on the second night I took the last available spot. I imagine it’s a challenge on busy weekends.
The hotel is close to all of the downtown sights and attractions, plus it’s only a few blocks away from Whole Foods Market. Talk about convenient!
La Quinta offers a loyalty program which allows you to earn points for free nights, plus they participate with several airlines for frequent flyer programs.
Overall I was extremely pleased with my stay and will definitely return the next time I need accommodations in Seattle.

One of my friends found a great deal when looking for a place somewhat close by and walking distance. After arriving, we were pretty happy to notice it was not too close but not too far for anywhere we needed to go. On the outside the building may not look like much, but looks can be deceiving. Just the lobby alone looks amazing. It has a subtle sweet scent and the staff is on board to make sure all guests are taken care of.
A bonus perk is that parking is free if your staying as a guest. Other hotels in Seattle often charge quite a bit per day. Parking is first come, first serve basis. So if you arrive on a Thursday like we did, you may not want to move the car for the duration of your visit. After receiving our keys, we checked out the room. The room itself is spacious and comfortable. On the 2 nights I was there, it was definitely quiet and peaceful.
Continental breakfast is adequate as they provide cold food and some hot food options. Sometimes they will have mini breakfast burritos and other times biscuits and gravy. Hot oatmeal is also available along with a variety of fruit, yogurt, muffins, and bread. You can make waffles too. Coffee and tea are available along with apple and orange juice. Be cautious though as 10 AM approaches, breakfast is over and the food will disappear in a heartbeat.
I would definitely come back here again as it was only 10 – 15 walking distance to the convention center. It’s even closer to the space needle and all those other exhibits too. 2 Apple computers are free to use too with free Internet. Wi-​Fi is available and free but I couldn’t access it on the 6^th floor where we were staying at. The lobby area was fine and there were no issues. A nice touch is the complimentary water with lemon and hot cider. I will definitely come back here and stay for my future Seattle visits!

Ein Top-​Hotel!
Lage: Lauflnähe zur Innenstadt, Monorail und Space Needle: von hier aus ist ganz Seattle fußläufig oder bequem per ÖPNV zu erobern, perfekt!
Wir hatten ein großartiges Zimmer, eigentlich eine Junior Suite, frisch renoviert und mit allem technischen Schnickschnack (IP receiver, 1m Fernseher, iPhone Doc) und das ganze noch ganz hübsch und geschmackvoll.
Weitere Pluspunkte sind das reichliche Frühstück, das nette Personal und kostenlose Parkplätze. Preis? Im September 2011 schlappe 70 Euro Wow!
