Seattle Marriott Waterfront in Seattle

From the moment we arrived, this hotel delivered an exceptional experience. The valet team welcomed us warmly and set the tone right away, and the front desk staff continued that level of professionalism and kindness throughout our stay. Everyone made us feel genuinely cared for, not just checked in.

The room was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the balcony view was absolutely stunning—one of the best views we’ve ever had in Seattle. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the city while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. The restaurant staff also went above and beyond, providing excellent service and a great dining experience.

What truly set this hotel apart was how they handled our delayed flight. The staff showed incredible flexibility and compassion, making a stressful situation much easier for us. Because of the outstanding service and attention to detail, this will be the only place we stay when visiting Seattle from now on. Every interaction—from valet to front desk to restaurant staff—was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-located hotel with exceptional service that truly goes above and beyond.

Great hotel in a good location with a nice view over the water.

Every was decent for work and business staying.

The hotel is located oceanfront on Alaskan Way, directly fronting the pier, shops, and restaurants.

ATMOSPHERE:
The low rise building of 8-stories has a very modern interior, with lots of stone in earthy tones, modern fixtures and colorful art pieces. It's not a bustling hotel by any means. It has the feel of a quiet hotel on San Francisco's Fishermans Wharf. You can hear seagulls and smell the pier, which I love! There's a walkway that leads out to Lenora Street, make a right onto 1st and that takes you direct to Pike Street. Super convenient.

LOBBY:
We arrived around 11am and it wasn't busy at all. Check in was quick and professional. There's a simple bar off to the side along with lounge seating and charging stations.

ROOM:
Very modern look and feel, and clean. There's a flat screen tv of about 37" or so. No in-room safe which is odd. The balcony is tiny and has no furniture. The view is 75% of the other hotel room balconies and 25% of the pier and ocean.

The bathroom has only 1 basin and a shower/tub with good water pressure and drainage. The shower curtain had a small stain on the outside part but it wasn't a big deal.

POOL:
Saw it but didn't use it. Looks like its half indoors and half out. Simple rectangular pool.

SERVICE:
We're really not needy people when it comes to hotel stays. It's more of a place to sleep only. The few interactions we had with staff were all great.

OVERALL:
Great hotel within close proximity to the piers, Pike Place and Needle.

The hotel itself was in a great spot (Royal Caribbean cruise customer) and was clean and pleasant. The staff accommodated our early check in request (we arrived around 1pm) which was terrific - didn't have to wait YAY!!!
The rest of the staff were all wonderful except for the bar staff. We placed an order for drinks/snacks at the bar and then sat off to the side nearer the restaurant. We had to ask at least three times for our order and the bartender/server was abrupt and rather surly. Everyone else was wonderful.

The Seattle Marriott Waterfront is a hidden gem. The hotel is right across from the pier and the restaurants/marketplace are within walking distance. The hotel staff Maria in housekeeping made our weekend so stress free. Her smile is so heartwarming and inviting. She left our rooms (271 & 273) impeccable and smelling fresh. Jordan in valet went above and beyond to have our rental car ready. He did not stop working. Jake, Kane, and Gabriel in the restaurant were so accommodating and friendly. This is our 2nd time staying at this property and will be our go to every year. Our uncle and aunt from Oregon stayed 1 night and loved it. They will use this hotel when they take their next cruise. The staff I mentioned deserve a raise, promotion, and recognition. Ortega family.

We had a long layover and had an amazing one night stay on September 13, 2025. We decided to book a hotel that was near the waterfront. This hotel was the perfect location to explore the waterfront. Our room was beautiful and spacious with a view of the waterfront. We received tickets to Wings over Washington at check in and some delicious chocolates! We were also assisted with transportation to the airport by the staff. Thank you for an excellent experience.

I stayed here for a week in early September and it was a phenomenal choice. The staff was incredible. Friendly, courteous, informative, helpful - I had a drink at the lobby bar most evenings before going to bed and Tucker is just a gem. I ate and had coffee out in town most days as that was one of my reasons for the visit, but I did have breakfast one morning at the restaurant in the hotel and their in house corned beef and hash was just delicious. I see some other reviews with qualms of the "basic room" but it's all exactly pictured as online so not sure where the misconception occurred, there. I had a partial water view balcony room and I thought it was great for the price and location. The location couldn't have been better if you're purposefully trying to be around the waterfront. Everything I wanted to get to was a 10-20 minute walk and there are Lyft scooters and bikes everywhere - if you're in to that sort of adventure. Pike place market is about an 8 minute walk.. a bit uphill when going from the hotel but there is an elevator for a part of it. Fantastic stay. Fantastic staff.
