I've stayed at this hotel, and will probably stay again when I go back to Seattle. It's very convenient to the Pike Market, the waterfront, and downtown. The front desk service is always great and friendly. The room is clean, and the bed very comfortable.

On this visit, I stayed a week and upgraded to a corner room on the 10th floor overlooking the water. I didn't recall that one could hear so much street noise all night long, especially being on a high floor. I turned down the A/C so that the fan was continually blowing, which helped considerably. If you stay here, i might recommend a room that is not on the street side unless you are a really sound sleeper.

We were here for three nights. Check-in was easy. Had requested early check-in due to my husband's health and they kindly allowed us in two hours prior. Had requested quiet room as well. Room 1201 is QUIET. No view but we needed quiet. Hotel in good location. We walked everywhere. Space Needle is 40 minute walk. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast we ate down the street at Planet Java Diner (5 minute walk); dinners at The Purple Cafe and Nordstroms Cafe. Easy walk to Pike Street and Westlake Shopping area. Very nice visit!

The Courtyard Seattle Pioneer Square is in an older building but nicely renovated inside. It is a bit difficult to get to with all the one way streets and the valet parking is pretty steep at $49 a night. The room itself was nice and comfortable and while it was faced the street, it was quiet. The hotel is in a great location, very central and close to the market and Chinatown.
