Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel Downtown

Older but well maintained. Only complaint would be that room had a musty smell. Clean room. Comfortable king bed. Location good. A bit sketchy at night. A lot of homeless in area. We took Uber. Good breakfast. Parking 30 per day. Staff friendly.

This is my go to place when I'm in Seattle and this visit was as expected from the time you walk in you notice the cleanliness of the lobby and the friendly greeting as you approach the front desk. Dawn was able to get us a room with two beds and a view of the city. The other reason for choosing this hotel is because of the cleanliness of the rooms. Clearly housekeeping takes pride in their work. The bathroom was spotless and the carpet was clean. The linens were fresh smelling and quite inviting at the end of a long day. And last but not least, the complimentary hot breakfast in the morning. Super fresh and with plenty of options. Very close to Pikes Market and other attractions. Also at checkout Trapp was at the desk and was super helpful and when I mentioned that I would be back he offered to help with my next reservation, I told him I would need to do later. He was very friendly and professional but not robotic like but just plain polite and kind and said that they would look forward to seeing us again. I would give them a 10 but the scoring only goes to 5.

We loved this hotel. We loved the character of the hotel and it was exceptionally clean. Close to the wonderful tourist and restaurant attractions. All within walking distance. Breakfast was adequate and parking was secure. I would definitely stay here again.

Secure, clean, nice comfortable rooms, comfortable beads, nice pillows, historical hotel, great location near the Seattle Piers, Ferries, entertainment, nice restaurants, both reasonable and high end, nice Continental Breakfast, safe places to walk along the waterfront. You park in secure underground parking.

Be advised if you choose to stay here, you are told only after paying for your stay that your only option for parking is $30 per night at " a parking garage they have an agreement with." There are 2 other garages within blocks that charge less. Comfy beds, spotless bathroom, but drapes needed cleaning.

It was so clean for how older of a building it was. Value was great. Online said there was minimum parking on site, but when we arrived it didn't look like there was any. Had to walk to a parking garage, so I would keep that in mind. Didn't bother me, but it might others. Will definitely think about staying here again in the future.

Interesting location close to Ferry. Beautiful older hotel close to downtown and sports complex. Easy to walk to parking that was about a block away. Breakfast was great and service was good. Staff was friendly and convenient to downtown

Great location and vibe in this throwback hotel. We loved the vibe, service and can't beat location and price. So many things to do and places to eat within walking distance. Close to the ferry, boardwalk, clubs, restaurants and souvenirs shops. Views were great and noise was very limited considering location. We slept all night with no interruption. The bed was super comfy! Highly recommend.

This was a pleasant surprise. Located in a nice location with easy walking to downtown and Pike Place Market. Loved the way the 110 yr old hotel had been refurbished while keeping the character. We will definitely be back. Great value for price.

The hotel is located in the middle of Seattle downtown, which is very continent to visit several attraction places. It is easy to access several good restaurants nearby. The view is good depending on the room. You may have the port and city view which is quite nice.

I have had some really bad hotel stays in Seattle, and this made up for them. Yes, it's an older building and the rooms are pretty tiny. The view out of my window was of a brick wall. Who cares? It still met all of my needs and then some. The staff from front desk to breakfast host were all super outstanding and went above and beyond. The bed was comfortable, the elevator worked, the hot water was plentiful, and the breakfast while not unique was well-stocked The value for location probably cannot be beat.

First time visiting Seattle for leisure. My first impression when entering the hotel was that it had a weird strong smell (caused by living near the waters/sea) however once I entered my room the smell was gone, the room was clean, my stay for 3 nights was with no problems. I liked that the hotel is located near several tourist attractions (Pier 54, Pike Place, The Space Needle, Lumen Field, The first Starbucks and more) overall my stay pleasant with no problems. Housekeeping did a good job with my room, replace towels, make the beds, take out trash.

It was so nice to stay in this hotel during my visit in Seattle. First of all, rooms are so clean and comfortable to stay, and people are so nice and kind. No problem, I will definitely stay here again.

Booked this room because of location to T mobile park. It was a quick walk there and back. Loved the historic feel of the hotel. Was greeted by staff in a very friendly manner and all staff we came into contact were for friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast selections and loved that it was available for a longer period of time. Rooms were a lttle small but very clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Parking was off site but we were pleased to at least have that option in downtown Seattle. Would definetly stay here again.

Close to the piers. Close to the market area. Great staff. The room was really comfortable. The towels were big and fluffy. The internet worked well. The breakfast staff were great and the fOod was fresh. You do pay extra for parking.

Extremely poor. We stay in hotels world over, business and leisure. We have employees who travel extensively. Best Western Seattle has descended to the level of a dishonest and greedy innkeeper. Unless desperate, we won't appear at your doorstep again.

This hotel is in a great location in Pioneer Square - near lots of great restaurants and things to do (especially if you're going to Lumen Field or T-Mobile Park) and we loved the staff who were friendly and helpful. Literally the only knock I can give this place is outdated decor - but who wants to pay for that?

Perfect location to navigate downtown. Walking distance to the stadiums, numerous restaurants and trendy bars, Pike Place and the waterfront. Link station just a block away. Great vibe in Pioneer Square.

We were in town for only one night but the experience was fabulous! We actually got to check in early which was a great surprise! The hotel is older but has a lot of charm. The rooms are very clean and have everything you need. Breakfast is included was top notch. There were so many options and the coffee was delicious! The location was central to all the places we wanted to go. I would stay here again in a heart beat!

The Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel is located on the southern end in Downtown within the Pioneer Square area that is revitalizing. The hotel is walking distance to Mariners and Seahawks stadiums. It is also within walking distance to the pier area where there is shopping and restaurants. Mitchell was very helpful in checking us in. We appreciate his help with our gift cards. We also appreciate the free room upgrade to a king bed and parking the car in advance of our check-in. The hotel interior has a nice old fashion historical look. The rooms are very spacious. I like the comforter design on the bed. The walls are thick where we couldn't hear our neighbors. Just to note that the room doesn't have a refrigerator. The breakfast is the typical Best Western breakfast without the fresh scrambled eggs. I like how the hotel has a choice between almond and soy milk. We plan to stay at this hotel again in our next visits to Seattle for tourism or Mariners games.

I stayed here upon my arrival to a week long vacation in Seattle and Mt Rainer. Hotel was nice, clean, friendly staff, and there are several attractions and restaurants within walking distance. I wanted to stay at this location again at the time of leaving on my trip, although they were booked solid and had no availability. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Spent four nights here because it was one of the least costly hotels. This hotel is "billed" as historical and I guess the building is that. However, the rooms, lobby and hallways are very dated and minimal. Had one armoire as a closet, no refrigerator, no microwave and very old furniture and carpets. Had only one, very slow elevator. Positives include a very nice front desk staff, good location for the waterfront, ferry's and Pikes Place market. The cons far outweigh the pros and, if I had to stay in downtown Seattle again, I would spend a few hundred dollars more for an up to date hotel.

The front desk staff were extremely accommodating and kind. They went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. They checked us in early after we arrived from our cruise, and made sure that the grab and go breakfast was gluten free for me the next day when we left for the airport. The front desk staff the next day allowed me to choose my own items to put into the bag so that I could get what I wanted that was safe for me to eat. Each time I needed or wanted anything at all during my stay, the staff was always very approachable and eager to help. Some of the best staff I've seen in a hotel in a long time!

Excellent hotel, facilities, service, and location! I would definitely stay here in the future if visiting Seattle! It is walkable and close to major points of interest. The amenities are above and beyond for the price. Highly satisfied!!

We were very happy with our stay. The front desk staff are truly amazing, friendly, kind and helpful. Hotel is historic and room was clean and Ronnie r than expected. Great location near waterfront and to stadium. Easy walk to Mariners game and the train to the airport. They also stored our luggage until our flight. Complimentary water, snacks and continental buffet as well. I definitely recommend.

The room was a bit old, but clean and well equipped. Unfortunately it was very cold in our room, although we tried to heat the room via AC. There was typical American Breakfast with lots of sweet things, breakfast burger etc. A few healthy alternatives would have been nice, but it was OK. There are also some vending machines for food & drinks. Location was great, you can reach everything by foot.

Walkable to Lumen Field and Pike Place Market- this hotel is locked at night and provides all that you need for a comfortable stay. Over our 4 night stay, I took inventory of all that was offered for breakfast because it was a pretty impressive spread of good quality items for a place that advertises having a Continental breakfast. Here is what they had on hand- it was NOT crowded and well attended to by staff: Waffle batter, waffle iron, strawberry preserves, can of whipped cream, table syrup, salted butter Individually wrapped Otis Spunkmeyer chocolate chocolate chip muffins, blueberry, cheese danishes, apple pie, white, wheat, cinnamon raisin bread and toaster Minute Maid OJ and Apple Juice dispenser Skim & 2% milk carafes, coffee (decaf upon request), Splenda, sugar in the Raw, reg sugar packets, other high end packets- Heinz ketchup, Tabasco, Jiff peanut butter and Nutella. Quaker Oatmeal, Swiss Miss hot chocolate, craisin packets, raisins, granola packets, Natures Valley Oat & Honey granola bars too. Fresh Apples, oranges, bananas Jimmy Dean individually wrapped breakfast sandwiches served in a steamer tray, fridge full of individually wrapped mozzarella sticks, Babybell cheeses, water bottles, hard boiled eggs and Chobani and yoplait yogurts, silk soy milks, silk almond milk, chocolate almond milk “Gluten friendly and non-dairy items available upon request” sign

Personal items left behind are as good as gone. We forgot an electric toothbrush in the bathroom on our last stay here. Called a few hours after check out and again the next day. Both times we were told they would look into it and follow up but nobody ever called. They honestly seemed annoyed we were calling. Pretty disappointed as this is our favorite hotel in Seattle.

The location is great! Close to restaurants, bars, entertainment, and the stadiums. The hotel is on the older side, but it provides a comfortable, clean room, security, and good breakfast. Don't misread what I am saying, the hotel is nice, but it is not a 5-star hotel. I enjoy staying there because I enjoy how close it is to everything.

We stayed at this hotel due to it being close to the stadium. Room had a musty smell, and we barely had hot water for a shower. Breakfast was ok, but nothing special. The staff were amazing, but next time I will spend a little extra to have nicer amenities and hot water.

Great location near waterfront, 10 min walk to Pike Market, nice traditional hotel with reasonably priced, secure indoor garage parking (although limited spaces). Very good breakfast, with choices for everyone.

Really loved my stay at this hotel. Location is fantastic being in the Pioneer Square area. Only a 5 block walk from the Amtrak Train King Station. Tons of things to do close to the hotel. I spent the day sightseeing and was able to walk to the Space Needle (about 15 minutes away), Bill and Melinda Gates Discovery Center, Olympic Structure Park, and then have a nice leisurely walk along Alaskan Way Blvd (where cruise ships park at, the Seattle Great Wheel is, Seattle Aquarium, and lots of great restaurants). The "Beneath The Streets" tours also start only a couple blocks away from this hotel (which I highly recommend doing). Pioneer Square is such a great centralized location. The room was very nice. It is an older hotel so the amenities are not as modern as most other hotels, but I love that most about this hotel. Reminds me a lot of other quaint hotels I have stayed at like the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. This hotel is so cute and the ambiance is outstanding. The breakfast was great. Lots of tables (6 tables along with a bar). Offered hot waffles with fresh strawberry topping and whipped cream, danish, croissants, cereal, toast, yogurt, fruit (bananas, grapefruit, apples), coffee, juices (OJ and apple). Highly recommend. I will for sure stay here the next time I am in Seattle.

This hotel was lovely. It's over 100 years old, considered historic in Pioneer Square. The location is great for sightseeing. We had only 24 hours and did an underground tour, a round trip ferry ride to Bainbridge island,shopped Pikes Place Market, and had a meal on the waterfront…all walking from the hotel. The only thing to know is that the area feels less touristy at night. Pioneer Square has its share of homelessness. The front desk was very helpful in arranging airport transportation for us. The breakfast area was spacious, clean, and well stocked with the usual offerings. Housekeeping was outstanding, the room was spotless. We also got an upgrade on our room due to our BW status.

We wished to stay at a smaller hotel in downtown Seattle, WA. Best Western is located a block from the waterfront, close to an older part of Seattle. The small rooms were quaint. The breakfast room was charming where we met interesting guests from Australia, Utah, Mass, etc During the day we walked to Pike's market , had lunch at Ivars.

Out stay was pretty darn good. Decent breakfast, love the older décor of the building, decent size room. Surprised by getting one of the 3 rooms with a view of Elliott Bay and the ferries coming in to dock. Our only issue was that the showerhead came off during our shower and it was a jet stream of water that went through the curtain and made a lake on the bathroom floor, which we were able to clean up with the extra towels. The parking was secure and very affordable!! Coffee shops, restaurants are very close, walking distance to the stadiums, Pike Place, the waterfront, ferries, and the Link Transit. Easy access to highway 99, I-90, and I-5.

The best western Pioneer Square, Hotel in Seattle is a lovely old hotel, which is registered as a national historic landmark. It's a pleasure to stay in this old hotel, which has so much character. The staff is very courteous and efficient. The hotel is also quite close to the Seattle King St., Station and so it is very convenient if you're traveling by train. It is also near the water and in an area of Seattle with many fine old buildings.

All Staff were kind and professional. Location of this hotel is in walking distance to all sights. This hotel is very comfortable and a great breakfast as well. We will be back to this hotel for sure.

The location is great! It's just across from the Seattle ferry and a quick walk to most of the shops and restaurants on the pier/ocean. The hotel is very clean and well maintained but the beds are small. No refrigerator or microwave. No gym pass provided as stated on website. Very loud outside as it's right in downtown area.

This place was average at best. It served it's purpose (providing us a place to sleep) but was a bit underwhelming and at times, odd. The hotel is located south of the downtown area so is about a 10-15 min walk into downtown/Pike Place. The streets at night can be a bit dodgy and we heard yelling outside our room on the street below a couple of nights, like people getting in a fight. There was a giant 'hotel' neon sign outside our window strategically placed to give our room a nice pink glow for the entire night. Check in/front desk was curt but not overly welcoming, except for the final night when the internet and TV were out and the guy at front desk was happy to look up his phone for things for us to do - being from overseas we have no cell service so were sitting in a room with no TV or internet. I understand this was beyond their control but it might be helpful to have the TVs connected to an antenna so customers can at least watch free to air TV in event of an outage - we had no access to internet or TV for the last 24 hours of our stay. The rooms were retro, in a quite dated way. The room was large but I feel could have been better used with an armchair or similar as there was a fair bit of wasted space. Beds were fine but nothing to write home about. Housekeeping was odd. The first morning, they didn't make beds (that's fine) and they didn't take away old towels (also not a problem as I am happy to reuse towels for my stay) and didn't give us another roll of toilet paper (required) but they put a whole heap of new towels in and then just threw about 20 bottles of mini shampoo and conditioner on the bathroom sink next to our toiletries, just strewn about the place like someone was in a bad mood. I've never seen a truckload of toiletries thrown about like that before, and we didn't ask for anything either (they should also consider changing their shampoo company as the shampoo/conditioner turned my hair to straw and the body wash was impossible to lather). Breakfast was good, in true American style continental, so think pastries, waffles, toast, and cereals. Plenty to keep us satisfied. I think if I ever returned to Seattle I'd spend a little more and go elsewhere for a bit of a more acceptable experience.

Stayed in this hotel because it was close to stadiums and Waterfront. We took the train into town and it was a short 10 minute walk. We walked to T-Mobile park each day to watch the Mariners. We also walked up the waterfront where there was lots of dining and souvenir shops. Pike Place was also within walking distance. The Hotel was nice enough. Nothing glamorous but we were paying less than $200 a night. The staff was friendly and the place seemed clean. We saw a gentleman cleaning the common areas and elevator multiple times, seems he cleaned all day. Breakfast was good, had multiple ladies cleaning and restocking items as necessary. If you're looking for a fancy room to spend your vacation in this may not be the place for you. If you just need a clean room with friendly staff for cheap, this is the place. Close to stadiums and bars. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall I felt this Hotel was very nice. For an older hotel is was very well maintained and very clean. I appreciated they even cleaned the room, as many places no longer do that. The breakfast was decent as well, and better then I expected with some good choices I only have a few complaints. The windows do not seem to be very good at sound proofing against outside noise. I checked a few times to make sure I did not have an open window, but they were closed. Did not really disturb my sleep, but at times you could here cars and people which felt a bit weird. The other complaint, not sure Best Western can do much about, but the neighborhood is not great. North of the hotel towards the downtown area and the Pikes area seemed alright, but it seemed once you got to Yesler way and east and south, the area had quite a lot of homeless people, and did not really feel safe. After about 6:30 at night or so, really did not want to be out on the street, and even a few steps away from the hotel you would find a lot of homeless people. So if you stay at the hotel and are not driving, you may consider taking an Uber after dark, as would just be more safer. Even a few blocks to the train station felt like it could be risky. Everything shuts down early as well, so if you need snacks, best to get them before the evening, or they do have some vending machines on the floors.

Travel to Seattle to fulfill a childhood wish best western pioneer was located at a convenient area to visit Pike market in Space Needle and to pay my respects to my idols Brandon and Bruce Lee. It was close to the waterfront and was able to experience the downtown daily life of another state. Hotel staff was good food was good waffles were excellent and the room was good for two people.

Great location, very courteous staff, nice spacious rooms. Breakfast is plentiful. Location is within walking distance of quite a bit, train and public transportation is close. The only thing I was put off by was a strong mildew smell in the room. Building is old.

We stayed at the Pioneer Square Best Western and loved it. You get a classic, older hotel feeling which I enjoyed and the rooms were nice. The breakfast was very good and it's only a couple of blocks from the Seattle Light Rail.

Staff was excellent, safe affordable parking, good breakfast. We had no issues with our stay, staff made check in, parking, and navigation easy. Breakfast was a typical free breakfast, but was clean and organized. All staff was just very nice and helpful, really makes this place stand out from the average. Located in a safe area of town by a well lit pioneer square.

We selected this hotel for its location in downtown Seattle. We walked to most tourist spots and restaurants nearby. The location was great and what was important to us. The room was comfortable and we slept well in the bed. The breakfast service was sufficient—nothing to write home about. The staff from the cleaning staff to front desk was so friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and highly recommend for fam and friends.

This Hotel was beautiful. It looks out over the water. The interior decor was kept to its historic look. It was quiet and the staff were friendly. We loved watching the Ferries come and go and the views were awesome!

This very quaint old building is in immaculate shape and beautiful for its age. You can tell it's been updated but it's very nice and they kept the charm of the old woodwork and rooms and masonry tile floors in the bathrooms. The breakfast is adequate although there's not much hot food. The location of the hotel is very handy to the Alaskan Way wharf

This hotel held historical charm with clean modern amenities. Perfectly located to access the trans, waterfront, SAM & Pike Place market. Sincerely caring and helpful staff and well stocked breakfast!

This hotel is close to the waterfront, walking distance to shopping and dining options, and has a very cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was nice and the room was comfortable. The staff was very friendly.

The great condition of the building and fantastic customer service here were truly a surprise. I was so pleased by the people, the building and furnishings. I never expected this level of good so soon after covid. This place is well run and in great shape and in a good location. I'll be coming back here for sure. No more looking up hotels when I need to go to SEA !

Been going to this particular hotel for years. Initially, it was because it was a more cost effective alternative to where I previously stayed when I'd go see the New York Yankees in Seattle. It didn't take long to realize I made the right choice and, not, just from a financial point of view. The management and staff are incredible!! Friendly, helpful and informative. For me, as a walker, the location is spectacular as it pertains to Pike Place, retail, T Mobile Park and Lumen Field, to name just a few. Simply stated, it's the ONLY hotel I stay in when I'm in Seattle!!!!

My brother booked us rooms here for a nearby concert. They had a few parking spots under the building in a secure garage for only $25/night and more spots in another garage about a block or 2 away (our vehicles were in the first one). This is an older historic hotel that's been updated, and rooms were clean, the location was very convenient to walking everywhere (sports fields, piers, etc.), and breakfast was very good. It's right by the ferry terminals, a good coffee shop right next door, and we ran out of town to visit the large toy story across the street. You can request a fridge in your room, and there is elevator access, vending/ice machines, etc. You can still hear city noise from the rooms, so like any hotel, bring your ear plugs if you are light sleeper. Just a note, while we were in town, we had difficulty finding a sit-down restaurant at 8:30-8:45 on a Friday night, they were closing down (staffing issues? just didn't want to stay open? unsure). Even though plenty of bars were open, we had a minor with us so couldn't do that and wanted to avoid walking around too much after dark for obvious reasons. This hotel felt safe and comfortable, though.

Historical property on an old tree-lined street that was close to everything! Being downtown there are some “interesting “ individuals on the streets nearby, but this did not affect our trip one bit! Having just got off a cruise we chose to spend a couple of days in Seattle since we've never been. It was THE PERFECT location. The quick access to the train station at our departure to the airport added to the location's benefits. I will definitely stay here again.

This hotel was wonderful, although the area was questionable. I arrived on a morning flight and they very kindly allowed me to check in early, which was really nice of them; the desk staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The room was great - small (I had a budget room) but very clean and comfortable, and looked newly refurbished. Bed and desk chair were the only places to sit, bed was comfortable, plenty of pillows, and all very clean. The bathroom was likewise spotless, plenty of counter space, good water pressure in the shower, and everything worked well. There were little touches that hotels don't always have, such as a full-length mirror, a towel bar next to the sink. The wifi worked well. I heard no sounds from other rooms, there was typical street noise that you would expect in a city. The hotel's lobby was small but friendly, and the breakfast was above-average for a hotel buffet, with plenty of choices. I chose this hotel because I had never been to Seattle, because it was cheaper than most other hotels downtown, and the description of the Pioneer Square area sounded interesting. Maybe it was because it was a Sunday, maybe the pandemic changed things, but I didn't see many charming shops or sights, but as a solo female traveller, I did not find the area very safe, and did not want to return to the hotel at night - in fact, I got takeout for dinner and ate in my room. The hotel was literally across the street from the ferry terminal to Bainbridge Island, and that was a fun excursion. It was also convenient to the Link train to the airport, and by uber to other parts of Seattle.

We returned from our cruise and took a Lyft to the hotel. I had requested an early check in and thankfully we were able to check in when we arrived. Our room was small but quaint. This is an older hotel but the charm can't be beat. The AC was nice and cold so we slept great. We walked to the ferry and took a trip to Bainbridge for part of the day. We were able to walk to anywhere we wanted to go so it was conveniently located. I would definitely return to this hotel again.

The hotel was great and very clean the staff were super friendly and very helpful. there were quite alot of semi aggressive homeless in the area. I wasnt prepared for that because at home in montana its not really in your face. It was humbling. We had a good visit and would stay again if we made it back to the area

I loved this hotel. It's a piece of history in a wonderful location in Seattle. I had no issues with anything, check in agent was friendly, helpful with information & very nice. My 4th floor king bed room was great, nice bed & 2 windows with a small french balcony. The bathroom was equal with a nice tub. This was the size of hotel room of bygone days with charm. The breakfast served was nice, the usual items you woyld expect with an also nice & smiling person. The hotel is 3 blocks walk from the metro from the airport & about a 10 minute walk to the market. Pioneer Square is nice with lots of coffee shops & restaurants. Next time I am in Seattle I will stay here. Try it, you will love it also..

Nice hotel, excellent service by the staff... Very reasonable for downtown Seattle. Access for Uber and other transportation was excellent. Nice walking distance to the Boardwalk. The staff held our luggage after check out for a couple of hours, no charge and safely stored. They also allowed us to wait in the Lobby after a long morning shopping at Pikes Market until we were able to board our Cruise Ship

The new parking garage was very convenient and seemed incredibly secure., the rooms were great and the location was fantastic. The woman who checked us in around 5pm on Friday was incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Seattle

Stayed at BW Pioneer Square for 2 nights before a cruise. Great location near Pier 66, Pike Market, Alaska Way and other sites. The staff was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again when in Seattle.

Walking distance to waterfront activities and Pike's Market. It felt like stepping back in time with all the dark wood, heavy wood doors, period decor. The breakfast room was cheery and there was actually staff there who were very helpful. Bed was comfortable. The walls and ceiling are thinner than in new hotels, so we could hear that we had neighbors. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Staff was really friendly and let me check in 3.5 hours early and upgraded my room complimentary! Breakfast had many good options. Person in room above me was a little loud, stomping at 1am, but luckily I had ear plugs. Room smelled a little like cleaning supplies, not enough to be bothersome though. Was able to walk all over the city in 20 min or less (Pike Place Market, Starbucks Roastery, down to Piers, etc.)

This hotel is in a great location and the staff was welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful with a variety of items to choose from. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit.

Our family cannot rave enough about how awesome our stay was at the BW Pioneer Square Hotel. The Light Rail Station to/from SeaTac Airport is a couple of blocks up the street from the hotel. The WA Ferry Terminal is across the street. Easy walking to the sports stadiums, WAMU Theater and downtown attractions. We cannot comment on the parking because we took the Light Rail (super easy and affordable) and walked everywhere else. Trapp at the Front Desk always greeted us warmly at check in and during our comings and goings throughout the weekend. Housekeeping were efficient and our room with 2 double beds was spacious and clean. There was a waffle station and a thoughtful arrangement of wholesome grab and go continental breakfast each morning. The coffee was good too! The breakfast dining area was clean with the fireplace in the lobby providing a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. This is a well managed and maintained hotel. A lovely historic building. We enjoy the Best Western brand for hotels, and this is absolutely our most favorite BW so far. The lodging, management, location and old world charm provided for an exceptional weekend in downtown Seattle.

Only a 10 minute walk from Amtrak. Very welcoming staff and they allowed us to check in early. Room was some what small but very charming and spotless. Being a light sleeper got an interior room which was very quiet. Location is excellent easy walk to Pikes market, water front, international district and space needle. I was pleased to see that the city is moving many of the homeless out of downtown. We were here last October and was not sure I would return to Seattle but I was very pleasently surprised.

I needed a centrally located and unexpensive hotel in Seattle, when I saw the best western at Pioneer Square I thought it would be a good option. NOT. The rooms are super small, the heating was not working and it was literally freezing, the area is full of unseemly characters and I hear very unsafe, so I wasn't thrilled and definitely will not be coming back .

Best Western Pioneer Square Hotel is a great spot to stay at. You get all the amenities that you need and complimentary breakfast! The pillows are always fluffy and the bed we had was very comfortable. Overall cleanliness was great. Close to a lot of attractions and a easy walk to the Wamu.

Great Location Great Service. The staff were helpful and courteous. It was great to get a full service breakfast. We even got an early check in and local restaurant recommendations. We would surely stay here again!

Fantastic location! We lived being SO close to the ferry as we're visiting our son across the sound on base. Pioneer Square is a quaint location, walkable, beautiful history! The hotel staff was friendly, and the breakfast had TONS of options! Grab and go (cheese, yougut, raisins, fruit, pre-made sandwiches) but also make your own waffles and pastries! You'll be glad you stayed here!

I stayed here nearly five years ago and wrote a very positive review. I'm happy to say that the hotel has maintained its charm and standards of service and cleanliness. The decor of the rooms speaks to a different time, and that is its charm. The bathrooms are modern and spotless. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of fluffy pillows. Flat screen tv, coffee maker, and in-room safe are standard, but no refrigerator or microwave. Breakfast was all it needed to be with decent coffee. Take a tour of the hotel to see the pictures of Old Seattle, especially Pioneer Square. You're sleeping on historical ground.

I stay at this Best Western very frequently and I always have a wonderful experience. The location is super convenient as there are a lot of great bars and restaurants within walking distance. The staff here is always welcoming and helpful.

Always enjoy this hotel. Wouldn't go anywhere else when in Seattle. Clean rooms. Rustic and comfortable. Love the curtains. Love the whole place. Nice fireplace upon entry. Close to train station. Love it.

The location was perfect and would be great for someone using the ferry. Nice large rooms with comfortable beds and very friendly staff. Even though there is no kitchen the breakfast was varied and filling. Jimmy Dean breakfast muffins, variety of fruits, breads, cold and hot cereal, boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee, juice, milk (to include non dairy), muffins, pastries, waffles, granola, etc.

The hotel staff was super helpful and sweet. On our first night there we ordered out and they forgot to give us utensils and the person at the front desk gave us some without an issue. Overall it was a really good experience.

Most affordable and friendliest hotel staff I've encountered, in the pioneer square area. Hotel is located in an old cool building. Everything was very clean. The continental breakfast was great. Ammenities inside the hotel are minimal, but the bed was comfy, and there was a bathtub in the room. Lots to see and eat on the same block. Walking distance to Pike Street Market.

Located about 3 blocks from Pioneer Square to the east and about the same distance to the waterfront west, this hotel seems a good location to experience Seattle. The hotel has a great ambiance with rich wood tones and decor and was surprisingly quiet. The staff were all helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. Secure, garaged parking is available.

We had a visit from 12/27 - 01/02 with family and took the Amtrak up from LA. Unfortunately it was delayed due to weather and scheduled to get in at 1am, far after the time my family would be able to pick us up. I ordered this room so we'd have a place to stay and confirmed with the hotel that we'd be able to check in late. The purchase said it was non-refundable. The train ended up coming in at 8am so I never got to stay in the hotel. At the end of my stay, I called them to see if I could get a credit to stay at the hotel another time. This seemed like a reasonable request; the purchase was non-refundable, I ordered the room so late that they didn't have to prepare anything and also, they subsequently didn't have to clean the room. This is where things got crazy. I called the hotel directly and spoke to Ibrahim, explaining that I purchased the room directly from the Best Western website, he subsequently forwarded the call to someone else in the hotel who then transferred my call to central reservations. They in turn said that I should call 800-528-1238 the next day, the whole time reassuring me that since the situation was out of my control, they would be able to help me. The next day I called 800-528-1238, spoke to Hannah, who gave me a ticket #CR421436 for reference, and after spending 20 minutes on the phone, I was told that they could do nothing for me since I didn't call the hotel the next day. I tried to explain that my wife tested positive for Covid that day so I essentially was on daddy duty and had to arrange to get a PCR test to confirm we weren't infected. She advised that had I called them the next day, I would have been able to get a refund, but since I didn't do that, it was treated as a no show / no call. I told her that I wasn't looking for a refund since it was a non-refundable purchase, just a credit to stay at a later date. That's all I wanted and I was forced to remain on the phone with 4 different people to be told this.

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. It was super clean everywhere. The room was spotless. The breakfast was a serve yourself but better than the usual with cheese, yogurt, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, fruit, and so on. The location is close to the light rail for inexpensive, easy access to the airport and many Seattle attractions. It a block or less to the water and Pikes Market is very walkable. Beds and pillows were super comfortable.

Great Pioneer Square location. Easy access to anywhere in Seattle with Uber, Lightrail and buses all at or nearby location. Received exceptional service from friendly and helpful staff. Room was incredibly clean and quiet.

Awesome old time charm hotel! The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, room was spotless clean and very comfortable, and it was so quiet that we thought we might be the only guests in the entire place! Nice to have a Continental breakfast that had choices and didn't come from a bag. Great location in Pioneer Square district, about a block from the ferry, and a mile from the Seattle stadiums. A must see is the underground tour while there and Merchants Cafe.

Always clean and very friendly staff. If they can they always offer a upgrade. I love that it's in walking distance to restaurants and pioneer Square. Besides a well stocked breakfast, they put out snacks in the afternoon.

Had a late night up near Capitol Hill for a Wrestling event and Seahawks tailgate and game the next day so convinced him to get a room downtown to avoid the 40 minute drive home and maybe 1.5 hour back the next morning. Perfect location. Parked by the stadium the night before, took the electric scooters to and from the stadium. The overnight staff was great. He liked it, we will be back on our next long night.

I visit Seattle frequently, and when I need a hotel room, I always try to stay at the Best Western in Pioneer Square. It's quiet, conveniently located, and really quaint. The staff are always super friendly as well.

The illumination inside the room is very poor. The parking lot is an issue. If there was at least an internal connection with the hotel it would be different. I left the hotel at 2am to fly back to my Country and I found it risky especially if you are on a business trip.

Half a block off the water front and ferry. The restored Hotel Pioneer Square. The rooms are nice sized. They show a little bit of wear. A better than average continental breakfast. Seattle has a problem with homelessness, they are harmless and don't panhandle. The rooms with a decent view are on Yesler Street

Not only was the wifi consistent, but the room was VERY clean! I enjoyed the yummy breakfast! They even had WAFFLES! I enjoyed the check in and check out process. Very quick and professional. The bed was very comfortable as well.

The location was perfect. We went to see a show at the WaMu theater. This was walking distance to the theater and had plenty of cool places to eat when the show got out. The rooms were clean and comfy.

This Best Western has an idea location for our needs. Close to Amtrak and walkable to all the downtown tourist sights. We love the historic Pioneer Square. We don't need luxury amenities, just a clean comfortably rooms. This hotel has everything we ask for and a great breakfast and great staff.

The hotel is located in the heart of Pioneer Square. We were in town to see baseball games at T- Mobile Park and could not have found a better option for lodging. The park is just a short walk from the hotel and close to restaurants, art galleries and historic pubs. The building is older, and in a major urban area, so it reminded me a bit of hotels in New York or Europe. There was a measurable "old world" charm that enhanced the experience. My wife and I will definitely be staying there again when we return to Seattle.

About 12 of us stayed here for the Labor Day weekend. We had about 12 rooms. The place to me is very historic but up to date, clean, great service, responsive staff, COVID cautious and very friendly. Anytime we needed anything the staff was there to accommodate us. The location was fabulous close to everything. The only time we needed to take an uber was to the space needle & capitol hill area. We will be back no doubt-----I highly recommend it.

An amazing hotel stay to say the least. The history of the building itself is extremely interesting, as well as the history of Pioneer Square. Speaking of the surrounding area, I would highly recommend a city facing room on the top floor. A few of the rooms have balconies that you can go out on and see Smith Tower and the other old buildings, which is an amazing experience. In addition to that, the staff was very helpful and kind, parking was cheap (by Seattle standards, $25 for almost 24 hours) and the room was very clean. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seattle, especially with the proximity to the must see tourist sights.

Thank you for a wonderful stay, I enjoyed staying here from checkin to checkout and the entire staff is amazing. Great location that you can't beat with so much to do close by. Delicious breakfast clean rooms

Rooms are large, very clean. Great climate control, quiet, nice linens, towels, extremely clean and comfortable. Staff attentive, welcoming and professional. A perfect and secure downtown hotel. Would highly recommend and will stay there again!

The location is in Pioneer Square, which makes it easy to get to many places downtown. It reminded me of a 1930's hotel, with a lot of character and beauty. Our room was wonderful: it was clean, the beds were good to sleep in, and the nice toiletries that were provided were an added bonus. The staff was GREAT! We had questions about locations of some of the landmarks and the staff was very helpful. I would highly recommend.

Nice choice for using the light rail from the airport; easy walk from station and to the wharf area. Lots of construction in the area so expect noise. Loads of business shut down in the area and reduced hours- food was difficult at times. Makes resservations.

Nothing like the pictures, inside or outside. The entire downtown area was out of business or shut down and filled with homeless people. There's no housekeeping and free breakfast was a joke, a paper bag with a bottle of water and a granola bar

Easy access to stores and attractions at the pier. Parking provided at a minimal fee. Hotel was worth the stay. Highly recommend this hotel as price reasonable as well. Nice to not have to drive car..

2nd time staying at this BW. We took the train from the airport to 2 blocks from the hotel. Very nice staff and we could walk to all of our tours. Even with covid, the hotel had a nice selection for breakfast.

I always stay at this best western when I'm in Seattle it's close to all the great attractions and I love the historic building it's pretty much the reason I stay here there's plenty of places close by to eat and get drinks

The location is near the ferries, which was convenient, but the quirky, old-timey atmosphere was a little annoying. The TV in the room would go offline every time we turned the TV off. Resetting the modem was a pain since the TV did not swivel away from the wall. We told the staff and they said, "hmm, never heard of that happening before." So we just restarted the router every time. One lamp in the room had to be unplugged for it to go off, the other table lamp didn't work at all even after changing bulbs. The coke machine took money and had no product. Telling the staff didn't help much. They gave us the money back but had no clue there was a problem, had no access to the machines and had no idea what products were in the machines. The bed was initially comfortable but is just a big futon in case that makes a difference. The parking was $25 a day and the parking garage was a block and a half away. We chose to park on the street. We've been home for 3 days and the $50 we paid for the parking we didn't use has not been put back on our card. This will have to be settled by a phone call. Also, walking a block and a half in downtown Seattle in the dark these days is not something I want to do - lots of homeless tents and a general feeling of despair with many businesses still closed. These complaints could be dealt with easily if the staff of the hotel cared...but they don't seem to.

Old hotel however it is well maintained and clean. For the price, this is a great value. COVID restrictions prevented full breakfast but they had a good selection of grab and go. I appreciated that there were refrigerated snacks when we checked in at 4:00 pm. Also, street parking was easy and free overnight. Thanks to the front desk team member for giving us the parking options.

I have stayed at this hotel for 30 years when in the city. It has changed radically. It is not just because of Covid. I arrived at the hotel from an Atlanta flight at 10pm. I had no reservation for fear that there might be flight delays or cancellation. Of course you would have to pay for a reserved night whether there or not. Their phone is not answered at night. When I buzzed at the door I was asked what I wanted. A room of course. "We do not rent rooms at night" When do they rent them if not at night. What am I to do? Sleep under the pergola at Pioneer Square? The hotel was basically empty. I am not sure they had any guests. With much talk I was finally admitted. The room was inadequately heated, I was offered another blanket. The lobby was 20 degrees warmer. There is no coffee in the lobby because of Covid, if that makes sense. They put on rubber gloves to touch my credit card. I believe in being careful but they have lost touch with reality here. I suspect that they do not want to rent rooms. Free government money if occupancy is down. I hope they are passing some on to the poor ladies that used to work in the breakfast room and have been laid off for a year. I may never stay here again. Something is wrong and Covid is not the excuse.

This was at first and Yesler where the old pioneers had their business district. I came to see the Christmas lights that were advertised and the area was pretty when lit up. The lobby has a fireplace and picture of Henry Yesler who died in 1890.

Don't let the location fool you, this is a very romantic hotel in the lobby. The roaring fire was perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and the hotel was following protocols.we enjoyed every moment of our stay.

The staff were very nice to me and my girlfriend. I really like the Look Of the lobby. The room was very nice and the beds were nice as well. The price was affordable. I highly recommend this place to stay overnight

The hotel is surrounded by construction. Major construction. Great many homeless in the area, especially walking or at transportation hubs. Some nice pockets of commerce in the area, but not adjacent.

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Train Station as we were taking an Amtrak trip. Very clean, grab & go breakfast was great (we ate it on the train); close to dinner options. Staff very friendly.

Was looking for a hotel close to the Amtrak King Street Station during a round the county rail trip. Also wanted a property that was reasonably priced. The Pioneer Square Best Western met all of my requirements and was close to all of the tourist things to do. It was an easy walk to the restaurants on the waterfront and the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry. The staff was very aware of security and were willing to help in any way.

Was able to relax and sleep well here. Walking distance to great cafes and shops! Wifi is weak and the heater maxes out at 'just about warm enough' but minor issues so just be ready if those are important to you. For me, not so much. If you want to be touristy and don't want to drive, you can't beat this place.

If you do not like the city, this hotel is not for you. There is no easy parking and the parking garage they use is small and hard to navigate. This location was just an absolute pain to stay at. However, if you love the city and walking every where, you'll love this location. It's by the water front, with walking distance of some great seafood restaurants and many others. I am not a city person and I hated the stay.

I stayed here for two nights. I took the light rail from the airport for $3 one way and it dropped me off about 3 blocks from the hotel, it was very easy to walk from the station to the hotel. From the hotel I was able to walk to Pikes Place Market and many other areas of downtown Seattle. The ferry terminal to go to the islands is right across the street, the ferry was around $8 round trip and it was nice for a day trip to the little island towns, which are also very walk-able. The hotel is very clean and the area seamed safe. The ladies at the front desk are friendly and accommodating. I was upgraded to a larger room with a beautiful view of the water. My room was clean, bed was comfortable and clean and I found it to be fairly quiet. Breakfast was good, hot Jimmy Dean Sandwiches, boiled eggs, waffles, pastries, and all the other usual continental breakfast items. I took some fruit and granola to eat for lunch as well. They usually have free bottled water in the lobby for you to take, I always grabbed one on my way out.

It was Chilly Hilly time again. Every year in the third week of February the Cascade Bicycle Club holds the Chilly Hilly, a 33 mile ride around Bainbridge Island. If you are from out of town there is no easier way to take part in the ride than to stay at the Best Western Pioneer Square. On Sunday morning the ferry dock is half a block away, and when you roll back in later that day there's a hot shower waiting. To top it off Pioneer Square is a fun place to poke around.

I was horrified by the prices of hotels in Seattle in February. I needed something close to downtown. I was a bit nervous about staying at this hotel because of a number of negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. The location was perfect for us -- two blocks from light rail and a 15 minute walk to Pike Place Market. There are a lot of homeless people in Pioneer Square, but no more than I remember from when I lived here in the 1980s, and no more than in my hometown - Austin. I never felt unsafe, even at night. I thought the hotel had a lot of charm and it didn't seem as down-at-the-heels as some reviews seemed to indicate. The bed was comfy and the room was quiet, even though it faced a busy street. I got a good night's sleep. Maybe if you rented in the summer it would be noisier. There were signs indicating the hotel was being renovated, but we were not disturbed by any construction noise. I was only there one night, but based on this experience, I would stay in this hotel again.

I know the place is historical, but carpet updates would be nice. Too loud of creeking. Bed was lumpy and no mini fridge. Lobby needs updated. Great location. Nice staff too. Didn't eat breakfast, but the menu is large for a continental.

Good location, clean rooms and lobby. Staff was professional and friendly. Rooms by the street were noisy with street traffic. Walking distance to alot of attractions and shops. Continental breakfast not the best but still happy to have it.

The staff at the hotel was very courteous and efficient. The hotel is located near the ferry and (spooky) Pioneer Square. The were a few confrontations with the homeless and indigent people that now infest most of Seattle downtown. It has improved, however, from trips from the past. Druggies and crazies are not taken care of well in this town and as a result the city has gone third world.

Stayed in Best Western for two nights in Feb 2020 on a business trip. The rooms are large with well appointed toilets. The toiletries are decent and they stack up a lot of towels which is always welcome. The bed and linens were clean. My room did not have a view and a window that opened into a dark empty air-well which i found creepy. The heating in the room was very noisy to the point of almost waking u up each time it switched on and off. The floors were a bit creaky and you could easily be awakened by people walking on the top floor. The carpets were clean but had an old look. You get a lot of typical american breakfast items including waffles, coffee, cereals, burgers, canned juice etc. Overall it is an ok 'average american' hotel which needs a bit of a touch up-they seem to have just been doing enough to keep it running- so you end up with a lot of old stuff which does not make it worth the money.

Staff here were wonderful. Room was huge,very quiet. Close to every thing. We walked. Lots to see and do close to the hotel. We went to pike place market, took the train to airport, went to sea world.

Many many homeless people on the streets many very scary. We were afraid to go out after dark. Room heat (window AC) was very loud and cycled frequently keeping us awake. Pillows were more for decoration than sleep and my wife and I woke up with sore necks,Staff was friendly and when TV didn't work they gave us a different room.

Our third time here and always enjoy it. Near Pioneer Square and King Street train station. Underground Seattle Tour across the street. Found super restaurants, and went to good shopping. Often go to waterfront and do Ivar's. Running on waterfront is great. Fun to do Pike Place Market.

A great location with lots of nearby eating and entertainment options located nearby. Rooms were very clean and the staff was welcoming and helpful. Nice and handy to King Street Station. Highly recommended.

The Pioneer Square Best Western never fails to impress us with it's historical charm, friendly staff and above-average continental breakfast. This was our 7th year staying at the Hotel, and it didn't disappoint, once again. Right downtown, it makes it easy to walk anywhere and it's close to all of our favorite restaurants.

Location was amazing since it is really close to the sea, building has this vintage style look and an old but safe elevator. Room had a pleasing decor and wifi was great. Receptionist was really helpful for checking in and out and I was allowed to check in early since my room was already available.

There are obviously many places to stay in Seattle. However, for those who want a simple, convenient and comfortable rooms, in historic Pioneer Square, you should stay here. The historic exterior and interior (lobby) is retained but still modern. Price is reasonable for the area. Walking distance to underground tours, restaurants, the waterfront, and shopping.

Friendly staff and clean rooms. Very centrally located. They have us a complementary upgrade of the room which was very much appreciated. The breakfast is simple, but got what you need for making it until lunch.

Hotel is clean, quiet, and excellent walking distance to everything WE wanted to do. Cheap light rail ride from airport to Pioneer Square Station, $3 per person. Short walks to everything, even the space needle.

If you enjoy history and Victorian structures from the late 1800's, this is the hotel for you! Even thought the hotel was built in 1914, the area around the hotel were mostly built after the great fire of 1889. I was very fortunate to come by ferry and not have to deal with parking issues and traffic. The ferry terminal is only two blocks away on the waterfront. Very nice rooms with updated bathrooms (no claw feet tubs here!), great selection of cable channels and in room wireless internet. The morning breakfast bar and room is staffed by very attentive and helpful attendants to get your day started. The guest book in the room also features the complete bio of Henry Yesler, one of Seattle's prominent founders which makes for interesting reading. The area around the hotel has dozens of eateries and pubs. Do NOT stay out late in this area because of the crime that occurs late at night. Hotel front door is locked at 12 midnight and then you have to be buzzed in. Overall, a very nice get-a-away to bask in the history of Seattle's early days.

From the time we checked-in to the time we checked-out, the staff of this hotel was attentive, hospitable, and extremely helpful. Assisted with directions to local sites and made us feel like we were home.

Upon arriving, we were concerned that it would be some sort of flop house due to the neon sign and the downtown environment. Once we got to the doors and entered, we experienced immediate relief. The building was built in 1911 and there is a historic yet modern charm to it. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional and made the stay more than pleasant. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bathroom was well kept and in good shape (I loved the shower!). The toilet had a deep stain on the inside bottom but that could be from age. The office area had a warm, old world charm with a ready computer and pamphlets to local attractions which are within walking distance. We did not care for the breakfast as, due to dietary restrictions, we were limited to what we could eat if anything. Overall, this was a pretty good stay for the price and I would definately recommend it to others. INTERSTING TIDBIT: Around 3:30 am, my relative and I heard something walk across our room that we could not see. While were both schocked, we were not scared and did not feel threatened. We still laugh about it. Also, the television kept turning off randomly. Like I said, it's an old building.

We were awarded a free night from Best Western and chose to go to the Pioneer Square Hotel so we could see the downtown Seattle Christmas lights and decorations. Even though we arrived at 11:00 am expecting to just drop off our bags and go sightseeing, we were warmly welcomed by the front desk person and given early access to our room -- yay!. It was was large and comfortably furnished, although another chair and luggage rack would be nice for couples traveling together. We appreciated having the Keurig machine and a refrigerator, and especially loved the little balcony with a great view of the Smith Tower building and the Pioneer Square pergola. Breakfast was simple but satisfying with Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, waffles, juice, and the usual continental breakfast items. As a Seattle native, it's always fun to explore my hometown and we had a wonderful time walking along the waterfront and through the Pike Place Market, then to the department stores and big hotels to see their Christmas displays. We walked to the 13 Coins Restaurant a few blocks away and had a very nice dinner at their display kitchen bar. After dinner we went shopping at the fabulous Magic Mouse Toy store across the street from the hotel. I would love to repeat this experience again sometime.

We enjoyed our stay. Rooms were bigger than normal and bed was oriented differently than other hotels. Old charm in downtown Seattle close to the ferries and food. We had one issue with something beeping in our room. They were impeccable when we had this issue by giving us another room while it was being fixed.

This property is good if the price is right. The night I stayed it cost $100, which is a fair price. The same room the next day was over $300, which is laughable for a room without a fridge fronting a busy street. The one thing this hotel has hands down is walking access to the sports stadiums and downtown, both about 15 minutes away. It also has lots of homeless people on the corners nearby, a by product of being in old town.

Located in the heart of Pioneer Square, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places, this hotel provides modern conveniences in an historic setting. An easy walk to Seattle's waterfront attractions, sports venues (think CenturyLink Field), and local entertainment venues avoid the need to rent a vehicle. Many fine restaurants and bars are minutes away by foot. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, complimentary breakfast is good. Highly recommended, we'll be staying here again!

Love our stay here at BW in Pioneer square! Walking distance to all attractions (30 mins to Space Needle). We love walking, so that was perfect for us! We were out and about from 8 am to 9 pm the 3 days we stayed here. Love the breakfast selection too! We enjoyed our time here!!

This is a decent place but the carpeting in second floor hall is kind of loose and needs replacing. Staff were friendly. Free breakfast options very underwhelming but some decent restaurants nearby and easy walking distance. As far as walking goes, easy 10-15 minute walk to Pike Street Market one way and Century Link / T-Mobile Park the other. Public paid parking lot right across street so convenient (but costs added up over our four night stay). All in all an okay place in good location. We'd probably stay there again.

Our stay was wonderful. Staff was welcoming, warm and pleasant. Room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Pioneer Square was a perfect location since we were visiting family in the local area. Over our 3 night stay, the accommodations were excellent!

This hotel is in a great downtown location if that is your priority. It's clean, the staff is friendly, and the wi-fi works great. However, they are currently going through a renovation so there is construction noise. Also, like many old buildings, if you are on a lower floor, you will hear the people above you walking around and you will hear every pipe in the wall when someone flushes a toilet or takes a shower. The continental breakfast is not that great- mostly sugary, overly processed foods. If you are a health-conscious person like me, there isn't much there to choose from.

There isn't anything specific that jumps out about this hotel but as a place to stay while I was in town for a convention it was fine. The continental breakfast doesn't have much in the way of savory options all carbs pretty much. The bathtub had black mold in places on the caulk and grout but it was obviously cleaned just still there. The place was clean, staff was friendly. The neighborhood is full of homeless and loud sirens through out the night but again, for a stay like I had it was perfectly fine. It's very close walking distance to the metro which I took to/from airport. Close to the convention center and Pikes Market.

I chose this hotel by price/location. $143 /night and walking distance to the King street AMTRAK station. It is one block from the waterfront and near the gritty Pioneer Sq. area. Accommodations were fine, staff nice, the "continental"breakfast was way more than "continental" which was a big plus. Coffee ,water and great cookies in the lobby in the afternoon/early evening as well as a local newspaper. Close enough to a light rail station.I would stay there again.

This hotel never disappoints. Excellent service and very professional staff. Rooms are very clean and roomy. Prices are ver reasonable and you are in the heart of the downtown district. Close to so many things to include the waterfront, the art museum and Pike Place Market.

Parking is down the block in a narrow garage. Had to leave hotel at 3am to catch my flight. Hotel staff would not walk with me. Walked a block in the dark, three homeless people were yelling at each other, then went into a dark isolated garage to retrieve my car. Then had to go back to the hotel to check out (have to return garage key). No fun and not safe.

We stayed for three nights at the end of October 2019. The hotel is ‘just' in the Pioneer Square district, it is a walk to get to anywhere interesting, but everywhere was walkable (for us) and the free shuttle, which will take you to Space Needle, MoPOP etc, stops outside the hotel Good things: Room was a good size with a huge bed and just about everything one might need, including a kettle and tea and coffee. Complimentary tea, coffee and cookies in reception. Plentiful ‘continental' style breakfast with helpful staff. Bad things; Not much, except early morning noise from the ongoing construction work by the waterfront; and the hotel is a bit ‘peripheral'.

It was clean, everything was ok and fine but it´s veeeeeery old. Super old. Nice beds. There was a public parking right on the other side of the street. Breakfast was ok. Short distance to pike market and the orginal starbucks coffee.

Fantastic location. Steps away from all the MUST do attractions. Super comfy bed and pillows. Helpful staff. Continental breakfast was good to get you going in the morning. Amazing view from our 4th floor room. Cons: construction noise at all hours, jackhammers at 7am on a Saturday. The windows seem to be thin as you could even hear people talking on the street during the night and we were on the 4th floor

Close to water, restaurants. About 10-15 to space Needle. Lots of shopping and restaurants on side streets. Water front construction going on, but that is during business hours. Found easy access to many attractions and apprx 8 blocks to train station.

Older style hotel in the historic downtown area close to the waterfront. Hospitable and helpful staff. Nice decor with very attactive lobby and breakfast areas - the only downside is the current roadwork outside.

Way too expensive, but aren't they all. Nicely rebuilt old hotel, good staff. No hustle, bustle. Clean, nice linens. Terrible toilet paper, but eco-friendly. View of construction wall from our cheap seats. That includes a built in alarm clock.. I'd go back if the occasion arose.

Overall good experience. I was impressed with interior decor as outside is not real impressive. Nice but small room. Very comfortable bed. Breakfast is standard fare. Staff I met in halls were very friendly.

Outstanding front desk service. Excellent location (for anyone visiting or doing business in this area). Adjacent construction makes access a challenge. Cannot beat the price vs total package for Seattle. Will plan to stay every time I visit and room price is competitive.

This hotel is over 100 years old. The interior and exterior is pretty much kept the same. Our room was extremely clean. We had all amenities of a normal hotel. The location is close to downtown with great restaurants and shops within walking distance. A great place to stay for a couple of days.

All the quaint and charm of a boutique hotel, with all the amenities of a Best Western. The room was spacious with antique furnishings. Fragrant soaps and lotions were provided and the king sized bed was super comfy. The most impressive feature was the breakfast: cereals, fruit, bagels, muffins, juice, coffee AND breakfast sandwiches - all served restaurant-style in the hotel's parlor. The hotel is located walking distance to the light rail in the middle of the historic Pioneer Square.

My wife and I had a quick Seattle trip to see family over Columbus Day weekend. We chose the property because of its proximity to the Bainbridge Island ferry (literally right across the street). It's a 10-12 minute walk from Pike Place and a bit further to the Space Needle. We took Uber/Lyft to most of the tourist spots for convenience, but there was a free shuttle that also ran from the hotel to many of the Seattle hot spots. Unfortunately, Pioneer Square isn't the best spot because of the homeless in the nearby parks. Nobody was abrasive or confronted us, but it was a bit unsettling walking around that part of town with our luggage to get to and from the airport. The hotel itself was an older building that had some dated decor, but the room was plenty big, clean and had everything we wanted for our stay. The breakfast options worked out too, but the microwaved Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches provided were a bit unusual, considering other BW properties I've stayed at usually have eggs, bacon, sausages, etc. With that said, they were good though. Besides the location of the hotel and the ongoing construction nearby/loud noises from the street at times, we really enjoyed the property.

I booked the best western as i was seeing a show at the Showbox Sodo and found this a convienant location. Just a 4min uber ride away from the venue. The location of the hotel is interesting, it is located close to various places of interest, however the area itself is a bit sketchy. Many homeless people hanging around, which might be concerning for some. The hotel staff were friendly and i was suprised by the size of the room. Whilst building work is ongoing in the area i did have a good nights sleep , before the construction work started about 8am. Thr bed was super comfy. Overall I would recommend this place. It is good value and nearby to some places of interest ,such as the underground tour, the ferry terminal and seafront and not far from pike market or the showbox sodo.

National Historic Registered Building houses this hotel. Immaculate rooms and common areas. Knowledgeable front desk agents. Great breakfast buffet and shuttle to popular Seattle sites right outside the door. However at night it's located in a problem spot. Many homeless people in Pioneer Square up to something at night nearby. The walk to the designated safe parking area goes right through where they were congregating. Not the hotels fault it's a common big city problem.

The building is on the National Historic Register. The room was immaculate and had a balcony (not all rooms have balconies) Located next to bars and restaurants it's a great location. Centurylink Stadium, Great Wheel, Pikes Place Market and the ferry to Bainbridge were all within walking distance.

Very well maintain and enjoying the larger rooms, excellent breakfast and central location between Pikes Market and the two stadiums allow for an easy walk between the two with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars

This hotel has some great, welcoming staff who know what they're doing. Everything is pretty straight forward, and the location is great as far as what's nearby, Seattle's at night just sucks and that's not the hotel's fault. I do think they need to replace some things in the room. Everything just feels so old, it would be nice if they changed their decor a bit.

Very centrally located, and with in walking distance to all things that you traveled to Seattle to see. This hotel is over 100 years old and they have done a great job and keeping up with current amenities while keep the past history alive. We took Shuttle Express from the airport and they dropped us off and picked us up at the front door.

We were so happy with our experience here. There was a fair amount of street repairs happening around this block, making it a bit off putting at first. The staff here were the most helpful and genuinely caring of any hotel staff I have ever encountered. Walking back -all downhill-from the touristy attractions was a plus!

The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Would be nice if they had more varieties for breakfast. Centrally located so within easy walking distance to many attractions and dining establishments. Historically speaking it's one of the oldest functioning hotels in Seattle.

Beautiful old hotel with all the modern conveniences. Spacious rooms and fast internet. Many choices for breakfast. The hot egg and ham biscuit was a treat. Located within easy walking distance of Amtrak Station and Pike's Market.

We travel a lot and have to say that this was amongst the best small hotels we've encountered. The location is wonderful...Pioneer Square is near the waterfront. It's very walkable to the waterfront restaurants even though there is currently a lot of construction. It's also walkable to Pikes Market. There, is a free shuttle that you catch right in front of the hotel The breakfast is wonderful as well with lots of choices from waffles and bagels to breakfast sandwiches. Also great coffee. In the afternoon. They put out great cookies with the tea and coffee The room was huge (we were upgraded to suite which was more than nice ). Bed was comfortable. There is nothing to complain about. The decor is amusing Staff is over the top friendly and helpful. It was a great few days.

Pioneer Square is an interesting Seattle neighborhood close to local transit as well as Amtrak. We've stayed here at the BW Plus Pioneer Square Hotel before and know that it is easy (though, yes, there are hills) to walk to a variety of areas and activities. We enjoy the old fashioned look of the hotel as well as the extreme friendliness of the staff who are very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is old so we aren't surprised that the floor squeaks in places (sorry to those below who might be disturbed), but that adds to the charm. Breakfast choices are good.

Rude customer service. no Parking. Bed was hard lumpy and uncomfortable. I would not stay here again. Not the best of neighborhood was approached by several people living on the streets. Tried to cancel my reservation to move to another hotel was told they would Not cancel

Great hotel. We liked the place so much we extended our stay an extra 2 days. Centrally locates, this hotel was perfect and allowed us to explore all of Seattle by foot. Rooms are excellent with lovely decor and the bathrooms are excellent, great shower, loads of towels. Rooms had safes, but no mini fridge. (At least ours did not and we stayed in two different rooms). Breakfast area was big, but could be bigger due to the number of clients. Nice selection of breakfast items. Excellent staff who expertly stocked and tidied up, and had super manners. Front desk staff were very friendly and professional. Worked very diligently to help us extend our stay. The most relaxing of hotels. A little home away from home is the best description I could give. Very enjoyable place to stay.

The outside of this hotel does not give the inside it's due as it's absolutely beautiful once you walk in the front door. You are not far from waterfront and thier is a shuttle to take you to down to sights and food.

Got upgraded to a King room and I was very pleased with the service and accommodations. The location was convenient and secure and an easy walk close to everything. Breakfast was good (nice to have china plates) with lots of choices. I would highly recommend this place!

The hotel was an older hotel once owned by Yesler. It is near the water front and close to Pioneer Square. The free Seattle shuttle also stops right in front of the hotel but double check the route as it changes due to the construction at the waterfront.

For me, the location can't be beat. Close to shopping, Pike Place Market, Century Link Field and T Mobile Park. More than that, the staff is amazing. Every stay has been exceptional. I love this place and would never stay anywhere else.

Stayed here for 2 nights in July. When we made the reservation, we weren't told that the parking garage would be almost 2 blocks away. Had booked a king room with roll away. Upon check in, was told that the room is small for a roll away, which it was but we did manage to make space for it. Room was clean, nicely appointed, bed comfortable, huge bathroom, good shower. Wish they had a better privacy window treatment for the bathroom ( curtain would not stay closed). Breakfast area was clean and constantly being refreshed. Fare was the usual assortment, we liked the Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches (unique for a Best Western to offer). The breakfast staff was very friendly and efficient. Only problem we had was that there weren't enough tables for all the guests. Hotel was within walking distance to the underground walking tour.

This hotel is pretty convenient for many of the attractions in downtown Seattle. You can walk to Pike Market and the aquarium. There is a free shuttle that stops in front of the hotel for transport to the space needle and other locations. The room was large and comfortable. The tv appeared to be small due to its distance from the bed. The elevator was a bit slow but the is a nice staircase that goes to all floors so unless you have baggage take the stairs. The breakfast was a little disappointing. No scrambled eggs, just pre-made ham, cheese & egg biscuits or really hard hard-boiled eggs. The breakfast room is small and you may have to wait to get a table/chair. The most expensive way to book the room is directly with Best Western. Use another site like this one to save approximately $100 per night. Parking is $25 per day with the lot about a 1 1/2 blocks away.

I stayed in room 217 of the Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel from Aug. 25-29. I was primarily there to see the Yankees and Mariners play at T-Mobile but also wanted to sample the Seattle downtown area. Only real complaint is for the rate they charged, there was no refrigerator in the room. Even most low-end hotels have refrigerators these days. Room was small but fit my needs, as I was there to do little more than sleep, shower and change clothes. Place is quiet both inside and out. Recent reviews have complained of noise problems from nearby construction, but it seems to no longer be an issue as it has moved farther down the street. I am a late sleeper, usually didn't leave the room until 11 a.m., but my room had been attended to by housekeeping by the time I returned. Air conditioner was a window unit, but did the job just fine. The walk to the T-Mobile Bark, or Century Link Field, where the Seahawks play, is easy. Takes about 15 minutes. Note, if you plan on walking a few blocks into the city, toward second and third avenue, it is quite hilly. Also the sidewalks are old and uneven, with a lot of high curbs, so you have to be careful not to get tripped up. A lot of homeless in the downtown area. A few may ask for money or shove a cup in your direction, just ignore them and go about your business and you should be fine. Some nice local bars in the area. Spent time at a few of them. Some have music. Expensive. Also a 5-minute walk from Pike's Market where there is an assortment of restaurants, gift shops and a ferry tours available. If you're able, it might be best to stock up on supplies -- water, beer, chips, etc., stuff which you might want to keep in your room -- as all I could find was a 7-11 about a block away that overcharged. Also they'll give you free water at the front desk. Or during cookie hour from 4-6 p.m., but it's warm. I had to go purchase a styroform cooler at 7-11, for my water, beer etc. But still a nice hotel in a popular location. If I go back to Seattle, I would have no problem staying there again.

The building and decor are dated. The neighbourhood is a little scary after dark but there is a local pub next door that's very friendly. The breakfast is barely edible, packaged breakfast sandwiches, cold eggs, cereal, yogurt and a wafflemaker. No fresh fruit or baking.

Have stayed at this hotel before and found it to be a good value and good location, but during our August visit we found our room less than 100 yards from major demolition project. Hotel desk managers were dishonest about when construction noise would start in the morning. Hotel parking is 1-1/2 blocks away and there are aggressive homeless people in the neighborhood.

This property is in a prime location. Walking distance to Pike Place Market, and close to a shuttle stop to other sites around the city. The staff were super friendly, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The building is historic and had that feel. Would definitely stay again, and can highly recommend.

We had a great Seattle vacation, with the location of our hotel and wonderful breakfasts. The decor is a bit dated, but the people were kind and it was clean and comfy. We love historic architecture, so Pioneer Square was the right place. We walked to Ivar's for dinner and along the famed docks, took free bus to the Spaceneedle and Pike Place market. Good central location for us tourists. Price of room was very reasonable compared to several other places.

Perfect location to explore the lower City especially pikes or the stadiums. Our room was an economy Queen. I've had larger rooms in New York for half the price. Hotel is old and rooms are aged. Bed and pillows not comfortable. Air conditioning adequate especially since you're in a room not much larger then a cruise ship cabin . Breakfast was not up to the Best Western standard where you normally get a full breakfast. Continued construction along Alaskan Way means that you will get no sleep in the morning even on weekends or be able to take an afternoon nap because of all the jackhammering and construction noise. Front desk is very helpful and courteous. I will spend another $50 and stay at one of the larger hotel chains next time.

I like the small quaint rooms. I don't like how boxed in the lobby and all is. No hotel bar to relax in. I like the shops and the walk along the coast and easy access to downtown. It is also within a short taxi distance to the baseball and football games.

This is a great location for the hotel as well as the interior was well maintained and clean. Our room with a view however was interrupted by demolition of a bridge as well as the noise at 5am. Call in advance to find out if there is construction. They did not tell us prior to our stay!!!

Great hotel, central to every thing, we walked every where, great staff. Good filling breakfast, got a free upgrade on room, to a king sized bed. Older hotel, not in nicest of areas, would not walk around at night.

1st, remember this is a 100 yr old building, in a busy part of town, near a major road in the middle of demo/rebuilding... BUT it is the bright spot in the block, and though the carpet is a bit worn the folks are friendly and helpful, and the room is modern and functional - much nicer than I expected for where it is. Great location for our activities. I would stay here again!

This hotel is in an older building, as are many of the buildings in Pioneer Square, but our room was nice and had enough room to make us feel comfortable. It is located about three-fourths of a mile from Century Link football stadium and T-Mobile ballpark. We felt very safe, walking with the many people down the street to the Mariners' games. A free shuttle stops in front of the hotel, which will take you to Pike Place Market, the Space Needle & Chihuly Art Museum, the nearby shops at the pier, and other places. As a result, we didn't have to drive until we left, three days later. Great location, great staff, and great place to stay.

This hotel was in the shadow of the old freeway/highway. It's a lovely old place with charm and grace which will shine when the sun can hit it and the road and all that cement is gone! Different sized rooms, not all with views, but full of all you need. The rooms with views are spectacular.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is right in the middle of Pioneer Square in a very concenient location. They offer paid parking and you can walk or UBER. Very cute hotel with old charm and some origional architecture. There are a lot of fun restaurants/pubs around and it's 2 blocks from the Ferry. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, we will come back here for sure!

Stayed here with my daughter during a two night visit to Seattle. This hotel is a registered historical building. The staff was attentive. They offered a good selection for breakfast and free bottled water. The room was clean. We were 3 blocks from the light rail and 10 minutes to the water front and Pikes Market. Great location. The homeless situation was unnerving at times.

My family and I were woken up early every morning to the sound of hammers banging on metal. It wouldve been nice to sleep in on vacation, considering I wake up early for work year round. Room keys got deactivated before check out, and my family was locked out. That was a nice inconvenience. The breakfast was great, and the location was great.

Fabulous location (though rife with homeless and panhandlers - perhaps all of Seattle is) and pretty comfortable beds and rooms but the hotel is aging and could use fresh carpets and paint. The continental breakfast is ok though the eating area is small and its hard to get a place to sit down. Staff is pleasant.

Staying at this hotel was quick and convenient. The staff was friendly. They had a toothbrush for my friend who forgot theirs. Checking in and out was simple. The breakfast offerings were better than other places I've stayed at. They had a waffle maker! I just grabbed a yogurt, boiled eggs, and juice. There's vending machines on every floor by the elevators. Unfortunately I was woken up at 7am by some transients yelling at each other outside. For those looking at staying here, be aware that there are plenty of transients on the streets nearby. The ones during my stay left me alone and seemed harmless, but there was definitely a urine smell and lots of cigarette smoke to walk through.

Stayed two nights at this great location. Withing walking distance to light rail and Amtrak stations, waterfront, and is a stop for the free shuttle that takes you to the Space Needle, Seattle Center museums, Aquarium, Pikes Market. The staff was welcoming and got us right into our room even though we were early for check in. Breakfast was good and the hotel was clean and comfortable. There is construction next door during the day. Would stay again because it was so convenient.

We recently spent a weekend in Seattle and did the major "tourist" attractions. This was a great location for us. The hotel was great! Kind, friendly service, ready with recommendations for us. The breakfast offerings were fabulous if you're looking for healthy options, as well as hot foods. Warm cookies at the counter in the evening! Very clean and comfortable! We arrived early from the cruise dock and were planning to store our luggage until check in, but they placed us in a room right away with a room upgrade!

Stayed at this hotel to attend this past weekend to attend some baseball games. I specifically booked this hotel because it is walking distance to the T-Mobile Baseball park, downtown Seattle, and the train station. The place and staff are terrific. I will definitely stay here next time I visit Seattle. One must remember the building is over 100 years old and has a lot of history. The Pioneer Square is full of eclectic shops and cafes. Pikes Market and the water front are all walking distance.

Staff is nice, but not exceptional. Breakfast is good; nothing unusual or unique . Area around hotel is dirty with lots of characters wandering around screaming profanities day and night. Scary place after dark. Room overlooked the street- very loud. There is a free shuttle to waterfront, Pike Market and Space Needle at this time- with a stop in front of hotel- that hotel staff don't tell you about. Wouldn't stay here again most likely.

My wife and I decided to stay here on our trip to Seattle and this was a great place to stay. All of the staff members were friendly and helpful. We got a great room at a great price here. Everything that we wanted to visit was within a short distance of the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to call home while visiting Seattle. Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Within walking distance to the waterfront and to the pike place market and the aquarium. Pioneer Square is right up the street too.

Charming, historical place to stay in. You are surrounded with old history. You feel it. Easiest access to all attractions in Seattle. 1 to 2 minute Uber/Lyft arrival. 20 minutes walking to almost everything you want to see. Professional and nice crew to take care of most of your needs. Do not leave Seattle without having drinks/desert/lunch or dinner at Smith tower. 1 1/2 block away from Best Western Down Town. I felt marvelous.

Close to walk to all sights, easy access on a main street. Very up & coming area. Good breakfast selections. Coffee & cookies in lobby. Helpful staff. Comfy bed & pillows. Good sized room with everything needed

Our simple queen bed room was small but very comfortable: nice tv, nice sized bathroom, very clean, well lighted, and quiet. Staff were friendly and efficient and the included breakfast more than adequate. The hotel is conveniently located, and we will definitely stay here again.

Our room smelled like cheap air freshener and the room phone didn't work. This was supposed to be a Best Western Plus. I expected better quality. The breakfast was very low budget...premade breakfast sandwiches, bagels, toast. I would NOT stay there again.

My wife not really like the location of this hotel. From the King Street Station, there were quite a lot of peoples loitering around during the midnight of weekend. However, the hotel was clean although not that spacey.

Excellent location, facility, and amenities. Shuttle stop to major attractions right in front, and walking distance to major attractions as well. Great breakfast timing and options. ONE ISSUE: housekeeping did not clean my room the first day I was there, even though I had been gone all day.

The room was nice, albeit quite small. It had most everything except a refrigerator. They were nice at check in. The bed had great linens and several weight of pillows. The shower was good. I was glad that I was alone because there wouldn't have been much room for 2 people's luggage.

hotel staff was great, check-in and check-out was easy, parking was easy and we could walk wherever we needed to go so didn't have to find parking spaces downtown, lots to see and do in the area to meet our needs, the only thing was found our room was small, not a lot of room to mice around freely with king bed and our view was no view, was doing construction in are of other building we looked at so that was abit disappointing but otherwise we enjoyed our stay there and would go back, would just ask for a view and maybe queen bed so have more room to move

Walking distance from Pike Market Rooms are spacious for clean Breakfast choice is limited and a bit small Service is good No bars at the hotel but there is a one next door Walking distance from restaurants and bars

Oldest hotel in oldest part of town -Pioneer Square - with easy access to tourist sites, transportation and a friendly, helpful staff. Easily learn how Seattle reinvented itself several times and its current challenges.

I'm currently staying at this hotel and have been very disappointed. I was staying at Best Western Puyallup before, which was much nicer! And the Crown at Seatac was even nicer again (but I wanted to enjoy a central location for last few days) Whilst the breakfast here is not as nice (limited healthy options), the location a little seedy, I was okay as price was reasonable and I wasn't expecting flash. However, a warning to fellow Australians... my credit card was declined despite having sufficient funds - the lady said they often have issues with Australian cards... I split the bill between two cards and felt very embarrassed by their attitude. Then today, on my last day, my card was declined at a shop... I discovered the hotel had just charged me an extra $220! They had no explanation but blamed me using two cards. Somehow turned into my fault again. Not the type of customer service I have enjoyed this far in Seattle. The female concierge, breakfast and housekeeping staff are lovely, but I've been disappointed by reception staff. I rarely leave an emotional negative review but since they have taken my spending money I have limited options!

I chose this hotel purely for it's location to a meeting I was attending, and was pleasantly surprised at it's historic appearance, and the tastefully updates that made my room quiet and comfortable. Didn't think much of the free breakfast though, which seemed to consist of gas station quality breakfast sandwiches and toast, and there wasn't much available in the way of cable channels or movies. Pleasant enough though, very clean and the staff was nice.

Location was optimal for my work and restaurant option good, although going in certain directions you encounter a lot of homeless people. The room was good, The staff was great, breakfast was average. The Coffee was below average. Overall I could stay in good hotel. I will stay here again especially due to the location.

The check in was fast and friendly. The parking was explained and is simple, it is a block down the road in parking garage with parking lot attendants on site. Best Western customers get a reduced rate to park. The hotel is close to the waterfront and Pikes Market just a few blocks down, so we just walked.

Stayed here for 3 days during my business visit. The location is excellent and very near to the waterfront. You can take a walk around the downtown area without hiring a cab. The hotel rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast served has a good range of items and is stomach feeling for rest of the day. Enjoyed staying here. Recommended for short stays if you are on a business trip.

Excellent stay - Staff extremely helpful. Room was clean and spacious - Breakfast was great! There was a great selection offered to please anyone. The Staff was courteous, helpful, professional - very customer service oriented!!!

This hotel on the Historic Register, though not impressive on the outside, took me back in time. The lobby was small, and representative of a different time in history, embellished with original woodwork. Our room was comfortable, and a Best Western in all ways, thoughtfully furnished. We very much enjoyed our stay while exploring the Pioneer District.

I stayed there when I spoke at an event in Seattle. AMAZING location. It's a bit old-world in its feel so maybe that's not a match for everyone. The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming. The rooms are a bit dated but have everything you need including coffee makers and hair dryer. Nice breakfast in the morning and wicked good cookies in the afternoon!

In our last portion of our 6weeks holiday in Alaska & the States we decided to stay in Seattle for three nights seeing that normally we only see the inside of the airport.Pioneer Square Hotel is situated in downtown Seattle, walking distance to Pikes Markets, all the Piers ,observation wheel,ferries, seafood restaurants,the Underground tours ect;. We found the Hotel quite comfortable,staff were always helpful when we required their help.Sure the Hotel is a little dated,but keep in mind this is probably one of the oldest hotels in Seattle.We choose this accomodation because it is central, not over pricey as costs of 6 weeks holiday can become expensive.The bottom line is if you intend to live in your room & go nowhere ,this is probably not going to suit &suggest you go for something more Ritzy !The continental breakfast was just what it is meant to be,but staff catering the breakfast room were very unfriendly. We had a great stay & enjoyed our time at the Pioneer Square Hotel.

This hotel is a good choice if you are working within a small travel budget - and you don't plan to be in the room much. Otherwise, select a different hotel where the reception staff is more helpful and hospitable. At this hotel, they person at reception acts like you are inconveniencing them if you ask a question or need help.

The location is great (very close to the ferry, small walk to the market). AWESOME parking 1 block away!! ($25 for covered garage with in/out capability!!) Can't beat that parking. The breakfast was perfect (everything you'd want in continental bfast plus Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches). Very easy to grab bottles of water whenever you need them, coffee and cookies out all day. Really over the top with these great perks and nice touches. Only downside was that the rooms were very dated (it's an old hotel, I get it). Mine smelled like a nursing home - that old musty smell. Bring a scented spray/plug in and it's still worth it. I'd stay again, but would bring a room spray!

stay in this hotel for a business trip. the room is a bit old. but can walk to the light rail and the ferry pier. the breakfast is not bad. the staffs are nice. should have a fridge in the room. hopefully see an upgrade later.

Went for the weekend. The room was decorated very nicely the staff very nice. Breakfast was great. This Best Western is close to everything. There is a shuttle that takes you to the watefront for free. Very nice little ride. Everything is so close by you can walk everywhere, if you so desire. We ate at the local place called Vonn's which we walked to and the food was outstanding. The Seattle underground tour is just accross the street.There are many shops right there including a toy store. The museum is just up the street you can walk there also. I enjoyed the location oft his Best Western, everything is so close. no fridge or microwave. there is coffee and tea in the room. There's a store close by within walking distance.Over all I would recomend this one, enjoyedmy stay and the bed was nice , no backache!

We stayed at the Best Western Plus Pioneer Square for one night. We came by train from Vancouver to see a Mariners game. We arrived in Seattle at 11 am and we were able to drop our bags off before check in. Upon check in they upgraded our room which we really appreciated. The service was excellent, the staff are extremely friendly. The rooms are big and spotless, however the decor is a bit dated but it didn't bother us as we spent most of our stay in the city. The breakfast is basic but there are multiple options such as waffles, cereal, eggs and breakfast sandwiches. I wish there would have been more fresh fruit. The location is amazing. Altogether we would definitely stay again!

Really nice hotel. The room was spacious, as was the tub. Very comfortable bed. The staff was helpful, The breakfast had good variety. The hotel is within walking distance of the waterfront, the light rail line, and the underground tour. The free shuttle stops there. Great location, lots of history without the shabbiness of some older hotels.

We were in town for opening day of the Mariners basebsll season. We took the train and were looking for a hotel centrally located near the ball park and the sites of Seattle. This was definitely the right choice. Everything was within walking distance.

Had a very good stay at this quaint older building with lots of charm and style. Easy walk to water front and Pike's Market place. You get great WiFi signal. Rifht in the middle of Pioneer Square area.

Leisure trip with my daughter. The hotel is not right down town but we easily walked along the waterfront to the popular attractions such as Pike Place Market; Space Needle; Chihuly exhibit; etc. It is also just a short walk to the Light Rail which took us to the airport. It was clean; nice options in the complimentary breakfast (even almond milk for my vegan daughter!) . They offered a AAA discount.

Good value with convenient location close to train station and ferry terminal in historic though not the best neighborhood. Plenty of nearby eating places, comfortable beds, helpful staff, breakfast buffet with waffles, breakfast sandwiches and other basic items.

Once again I have returned to the Best Western Pioneer Square Hotel for a weekend family trip for Supercross. Having stayed here many times before, you know it is a good place that I keep returning. Located in the a little in the South of the Seattle's downtown core, it is easy walking distance to anywhere you need/want to get. The waterfront and shops is located steps out the door. T-Park Field (Mariners) and CenturyLink Field (Sea Hawks) are located about 10 minutes away. Shopping can be accessed by walking 10-20 minutes or catching transit. Underground Tours, and many others points of interest abound the location as well. Small eateries line the streets from local restaurants to chains. It's easy to find whatever you want from this location. The hotel itself is a historic building featuring 4 floors of rooms. Rooms are clean and comfortable with good, clean linens. A daily morning breakfast is included featuring a wide range of offerings for all the family members. Breakfast sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, fruits, bread and bagels, waffles, cereal and yogurt are topped off with coffee and juices. A definite plus! Staff are friendly and accommodating. They'll even grabbed flavoured coffee creamers from the (in the afternoon and evening) closed kitchen for use in your rooms. If I'm coming to Seattle for an event, this is where I always stay.

You need to make it clear to the desk agents to *not* transfer unscreened calls to hotel guests. I received a transferred call at 3:55am on Fri. 3/22/2019. The person on the line tried to scam me for information. He said he was calling from the front desk, that there was a computer outage, and that he needed my personal info again to allow me to stay checked in. After I foolishly gave my full name and birthdate I realized it did not sound legitimate. I argued for a minute and hung up. I followed by calling the front desk to which the young lady who transferred the call did not tell me she did so. I learned that she did after I spoke to “Michael B.” who I believe was the morning manager on duty (it was 8:50am). I asked if there were any other reports besides mine, at first his response was “yes” then later asked if I was “Martin” then said “you were the only one” and also said “I've spoken to the clerk who transferred the call, said she shouldn't transfer calls without asking for the guest's name whom they're looking for.” I told him how uncomfortable I feel, that through the con I gave my full name and birthdate, and his response, along with another lady associate who also agreed, speaking about the con-phone-man, “don't worry, they can't do anything fraudulent if they only have your name and birthdate; it's good that you were smart to not give your social security number or other personal information.” This is the worst experience I've ever had at any hotel, and I've been to hundreds, including dozens and dozens of Best Western Hotels. I did not get any sleep for the rest of that morning, and I'm still very anxious and nervous that my identity *will* get compromised (frauded).

This hotel is very comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly and it is located close to the waterfront and other attractions at Pioneer Square. I will stay here again if the price is right. It should be noted that for the time being, the old highway 99 overpass within a block of the hotel is being demolished- this means noise starting at 7 AM for those of you who like to sleep in.

Together with friends from UK we just spent 4 days at Beast Western Plus Pioneer Square Seattle. We were completely satisfied with hotel service and ,especially, the location of the hotel. You will nit fine better value for your money! Thank you Best Western

We had several rooms for the wedding party and everyone enjoyed their stay. The staff was extremely helpful. The breakfast is called a continental breakfast but it was definitely a step above... sausage/egg muffins, large yogurt choice, waffles, three juice choices & hard boiled eggs. And it was all served on real plates, glasses and real silverware. The room was nicely appointed with a comfortable king size bed. Some of our guests used the light rail to get to & from the airport with no problems at all.

Hotel personnel could not have been nicer. Good location Free breakfast is wonderful Rooms are cold. The heating system has to run the entire time you are there to keep the room warmish. Bathroom floors like ice

So you may find other reviews I have left for staying at the Best Western Pioneer Square Hotel while participating in the Chilly Hilly bike ride. If you can swing it please listen to my sage advise. Check into the Pioneer Square Hotel for Saturday and Sunday. You arrive the day before the ride, unload your bike and all of your gear, and then enjoy all of the great fun in Pioneer Square..... just don't stay out too late! On Sunday morning you can actually coast from the hotel front door to the ferry dock...... but only if the traffic light is green! After a fabulous, though chilly, circular tour of Bainbridge Island, both uphill and down, it is only a block to a hot shower!!! How can you beat that?

This hotel is in historic building in Seattle Pioneer Square. Close to the Underground Tour, which was excellent. Shuttle stop right out the door. Loved the old part of Seattle and just up the street from the ferries and piers.

Located steps to the water front and to 4th avenue. Walk everywhere 10 minutes to Pikes Market. Historical building with tons of charm. No frills 3 star hotel, very clean throughout, nice breakfast, accommodating and knowledgable staff.

My daughter and I stayed at the Pioneer Square Hotel for an event that we were attending. We got a King room and the room was very large. The bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows. The bathroom was clean and had a large square tub, almost a soaker tub. I requested additional towels and they brought them up immediately. The room was really nice and cozy with a big TV and cable. The breakfast was really good too. It was the usual continental breakfast but also had hot breakfast sandwiches, eggs and waffles. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and offered information on some other events that weekend and information for the free shuttle. The hotel is in a perfect location if you are wanting to be near the waterfront or Pike Place. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. I have stayed at this hotel before and will stay there again when visiting Seattle.

Stayed at the Best Western Pioneer Square for the first time this month. I was delightedly surprised at the location and accommodations. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The room was comfy and clean. The location was perfect. The concert I was to see was postponed but we were able to walk to the waterfront, have dinner and ride the wheel. Headed to the airport at 4:00 a.m.l and was happy to see a breakfast to-go back filled with fruit, granola bar and water. Nice surprise indeed! The only issue I had was the lack of instruction for the off-site parking garage and how to get in after hours. I reported it to the front desk and asked them to make sure they gave instructions to their guests on how to get your car out between the hours of 2:30 a.m. & 6:00 a.m.

This hotel is close to Pioneer Square and the popular waterfront area - and the price was very reasonable. The staff were friendly and helpful, and our room was quiet and clean with everything in good working order. We will definitely stay here again!

Close to the ferries and light rail. The breakfast had great selections. The room was clean. The building is older but they have done a nice job keeping it current. The price was perfect and great for a downtown Seattle location. Totally would stay again!

This older hotel has retained her grace and charm. It is very clean and comfortable and the staff are wonderful! The area is a bit sketchy but never did my daughter or I feel unsafe. Coming back to our room after being out felt a bit like coming home. We highly recommend this sweet hotel!

I would highly recommend the Best Western at Pioneer Square. I was there for the Seattle Boat Show, breakfast was great and the shuttle stopped out front. Everyone was super friendly, I managed an early check in and my room was clean.

I came to Seattle for a professional board meeting located in the Chinatown/International District, and staying in Pioneer Square was recommended. This is a clean, no-frills place with a free breakfast and friendly staff. Walk to the Pioneer Square Link Rail station in 5 minutes, King Street Amtrak and Union Station in 10 minutes. Downtown in 15 min. Lots of foodie restaurants a short walk away. Yes, this area is slightly run-down and there are a lot of homeless milling around, but it's safe and convenient. Good budget option.

The hotel was located in the historic pioneer square area and is a charming historic building. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good and delicious. The hotel is also very close to the wharf, waterfront, underground tour and Smith tour. Pike place and the art museum were also only a 15-20 minutes walk away. The rooms were quiet and cozy. The day we checked in there was also a plate of cookies for guests :) There is also a free shuttle with a stop right outside the hotel which will take you to most attractions! The light rail line is also only 5 minutes away.

We had just arrived in Seattle from San Fransisco it was 8 pm. We stayed nearby Union Station. The Pioneer Square Hotel is like a hotel from my days of living in Alaska. It has a comfy cozy lobby with a fireplace and the rooms are modern but retain the features of the early 1900's. Great staff and breakfast is included. I am a Rewards member so the room was $120.00 with taxes and fees. Great Bargain.

We needed a place to stay overnight so we could get up early and get to train station the next morning and this is what we chose as it is just about a 10 minute walk to station. It was not fancy by any means - but the room was very clean and quiet - other than hearing the person upstairs walking around. So ask for room on the fourth floor if it bothers you. Coffee, tea and the usual breakfast available at 6 a.m. so we were pleasantly surprised and the room was just $120 with tax etc. It's a short walk from the Bainbridge ferry which makes it good for those of us who live on the peninsula.

I stayed at BW Pioneer Square Hotel while in Seattle for a concert. I arrived early, and they were able to check me in no problem. The architecture of the building and lobby was amazing! My room was on the second floor which had a small patio that overlooked Yesler Way. The hotel is easy walking distance to the waterfront and the Big Wheel. I ate at a nearby Italian restaurant, and there is plenty of bars, coffee shops, and specialty stores within a block or two. I was a solo female traveler, I felt very safe inside the hotel overnight, but kept my outdoor exploring to the daytime....yes, there's a huge homeless issue in all of Seattle and Tacoma, they didn't bother me, but choose to not take a chance at night.

We arrived a few days before New Years from the Amtrak Station, and easily found the hotel...The hotel staff were friendly and provided us with a welcome bag with snacks, bottled waters and freshly baked cookies...In the mornings, the staff provided complimentary "Grab and Go" Bags which contain fruit, energy bar and bottled water...We were pleased with our room... it was small but perfect for a couple with large 3 pieces of luggage....Everything in the room was extremely clean and everything worked ...we stayed at the end of the hall on the 4th floor (Room 423)... The area is away from the vending machines , ice and elevators, hence quite .. the room also had a Keurig coffee maker... KEEP IN MIND, there are homeless individuals around BUT they are not on the same street as the Hotel...You are able to maneuver yourself around them.... For example, when you exit , make a left and a right at the end the street , walk for 10 minutes and your at Waterfront, with restaurants, Ferris wheel and stores....convenient to walk around. we also had complimentary breakfast at the Hotel which consisted of waffles, toast, bagels, orange juice , yogurt, coffee...

Very good staff, helpful and always smiled. We arrived early and they had both rooms ready. Impressed. Perfect location. Have all Info were to eat, the underground tour, and free shuttle to water front, pikes and Kong's Union amtrac station. Pick you up in front of motel, Starbucks one block away and the underground tour was one block away

Great location downtown with all the City Vibe that comes with it. Only a few short blocks to the stadium. Hotel is clean and rooms are well appointed although for some reason ours did not have a mini fridge. No big deal. Friendly staff and a very good cont. breakfast and the attendants are great.

Pleasant, comfortable hotel with great staff in the heart of Seattle. We were just looking for a place to stay after a company party downtown and were very pleasantly surprised at this hotel. The lobby is comfortable and welcoming after coming in from a stormy Seattle night, and the classic decor makes the place seem very nostalgic without being run-down. I would definitely recommend as a home base to see the city while you're in town or a weekend getaway from the kids!

The room is small but it is very clean. It is not a big deal about the size of the room since I have stayed in smaller rooms in Hong Kong and Tokyo.The staffs are very nice. I like that it is very close to attractions and restaurants.

We just returned from four nights at the historic Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel and were very pleased. The location is ideal and walking distance to many of the top places to visit like Pikes Place Market, the ferries to the islands, wonderful architecture and the free Klondike Gold Rush Museum. And if you are not big walkers, the free City shuttle stops right in front of the hotel. Our room was comfortable and quiet since we had one of the inner hallway rooms and not one on the street. I appreciated that the bathroom had a built in night light and a retractable clothesline. Although mini-fridges are not standard in the rooms, you can request one. The front desk staff are welcoming, professional and very helpful. The breakfast is fine, not fancy. I liked the friendly touches like cookies and coffee/tea in the lobby at 4 PM and grab-and-go breakfasts put out for people who have to leave early in the morning. The hotel will give you daily passes to a gym a couple blocks away. We checked it out but did not have the opportunity to use it since we were so busy walking around. The gym provides towels and the key to a locker. I read other reviews that complained about the homeless in the area. Sadly, homelessness seems to be a reality everywhere in Seattle, not just Pioneer Square. The hotel contracts with a parking garage a block a way and charges $25/day.

Excellent price, and the room was spacious. Lighting was a bit dim, and the bed was firm (fine for me) with a quilt and crisp sheets (no down comforter). The tub/shower drain was very very slow. Breakfast was exceptional, much more than a typical continental breakfast (fresh waffles, Nutella, to-go breakfast sandwiches, packets of granola or craisins, etc). Staff were very nice. The walkability of the location to Pioneer Square trains & other parts downtown was excellent. They advertise a fitness room as an amenity on all the booking sites, but it's the option of a free day pass to a gym 6 blocks away. The one big issue was noise. The windows & balcony door in my room were all single pane and provided truly minimal sound insulation. Pioneer Square still deserves its "skid row" reputation, and multiple times both nights I was awakened by the screams of homeless drunks and heroin addicts. As a solo traveler I felt fine walking in the area during the day but not at night. Honestly at the rate I got I'd stay again, but bring ear plugs.

My husband and I recently stayed at the BW Pioneer Square Hotel while visiting our daughter. Hotels in DT Seattle are pricey! So when we found this hotel for $179 we nabbed it up! The Pioneer Square area is where old Seattle began so the historic essence of this hotel does not go unnoticed. Right next to BW Pioneer Square is the oldest restaurant in Seattle. Rumors abound that it's haunted, a fun fact (definitely worth checking out).The Puget Sound is a few short blocks away from the hotel, you will find tourist attractions like Century Link field, the Great Wheel, ferry tours, and very fresh seafood very close by. The hotel offers a satisfying breakfast each morning, it begins at 6am which was great for us early risers. There is a Starbucks up the block if you want a morning coffee to go. The hotel is older, we were in a King room, it was small, but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable. There is homelessness near by, be aware of that, but we didn't feel unsafe. I think you'll be pleased with the price and the location of BW Pioneer Square and you'll find the historic nature of the Pioneer Square area as inviting and appreciate this older hotel's character as refreshing.

Great value for a downtown Seattle hotel. Not a lot of frills (no pool, for instance) but lots of historic charm. Well maintained, close to everything, great continental breakfast, and a very good value.

Hotel was quaint. Staff very accomodating. Bed was too hard and made our backs hurt. There were not enough blankets on the bed and the in-room heater was very loud. We enjoyed the continental + breakfast. The waffles were delicious and the breakfast staff was very friendly, clean and helpful.

Friends and I took the train from Los Angeles to Seattle and picked this hotel for its promotion the train station. When we checked it we were impressed by the charm of the place. The staff were friendly and efficient. Would definitely stay here again.

We were coming in on an Amtrak and needed a close hotel. This fit the bill nicely. It's an older hotel in the historic Pioneer Square District. We picked this hotel because of it's location. When we arrived and found out it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places, that was an added bonus. We're just geeky enough to think that is incredibly cool. We were not disappointed. The rooms were quite large and the bed was comfy. The breakfast was good. Free bottled water and cookies upon arrival was much appreciated. I have stayed in the glass towers in Seattle but between those and this quaint beautiful hotel with character, I chose this one hands down. The staff was stellar too.

This place was odd. It attempted to be a “charming“ older hotel, but it lacked the charm, and just screamed “grandma.“ From the strange microwave breakfast, to the curtains, everything about this hotel was just odd to me. This said, it was quiet, and the staff was polite. Not my cup of tea .

The hotel is lovely and clean. It maintains the charm of an old hotel with up to date amenities. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. The location was great. The Best Western Plus Pioneer Square was the perfect place to stay.

Had a few reservations about staying at this hotel from reading different reviews but was very glad that we stayed. The room was spacious and very clean. We had a room that overlooked Yesler. Yes, it was a bit noisy at times but it was to be expected for a room in downtown. We even had a small balcony. We had to park at a garage that wasn't too far away. It costs $25 per night. The breakfast was nice. It included the traditional danishes, waffle maker, cereals, etc. It was staffed by some lovely ladies that made sure everything was stocked and ready. There are homeless around the area, but we didn't have any problems with anyone. Overall, it was a very nice experience with a great staff. THANKS for the great stay.

You don't see much from the outside. All buildings in this area are old, many are yet to be renovated. This one is on the Seattle Historical Register. In spite of the half-lit neon lights it is beautifully restored inside. The rooms are very comfortable with all of the expected modern amenities. Pioneer Square, many historical sights, restaurants, cafes, and watering-holes are within a short walk. Safeco and Century Link fields are very close as is the Link Railway to take you to every other part of the city. Yes, there will be a few of the homeless encountered during any trek about town. (as there are in any city) Keep moving, avoid sarcasm, and don't respond to there rhetoric and they are quite benign.

I checked out the reviews on Trip Advisor and on Yelp after booking the Hotel and frankly I lowered my expectations figuring it would be tiny rooms typical of very older Hotels. Visiting from Idaho to watch the Seahawks play this Hotel is only a 10 walk from the Stadium. We choose to fly into Seattle, take the Link train to downtown and the station is three blocks away so super convenient. Yes there are going to be Homeless in the area and this is typical of most Downtown Cities so if this bugs or scares you, you probably shouldn't be going downtown anyway. The Hotel on the inside is gorgeous and full of History, The staff are friendly and very welcoming and the Breakfast attendants are almost too efficient at their jobs. The room was spacious and located on the top floor. We were pleasantly surprised with just how big it was and bed was very comfortable. Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby. Pike Place market not far. Take an Uber for like $6.00 if you don't want to walk. All and All this Hotel is fantastic and was everything we wanted and needed for a much needed break.

I picked this hotel for its central location.Most of Seatlle Entertainment is not too far walking distance. A free touristic Shuttle passes every 20mn from 10am to 8pm in front of the hotel.but too close to Alaskan Way make teh environment Noisy. and the overall look is old.Breakfast is quite poor.

This hotel we used as a short base following our move to Seattle. Upgraded at check in our room like the hotel a little dated but warm and comfortable. I understand the hotel is over a 100 years old. No complaints at all the staff of all ages lovely and friendly at all times, and we absolutely loved the breakfast choices (my wife's gluten free needs easily covered) good coffee at breakfast also available to go. The area bordering Alaskan Way and Pioneer Square has homeless folk around but we didn't feel personally threatened. 5 stars for the comfort the staff and the great breakfast. Nice view of the Smith Tower from our balcony

The hotel is in the heart of Pioneer Square. The rooms are nice but not luxurious. The complimentary breakfast is very good; the highlights being waffles and sausage egg breakfast sandwiches. One bit of advice: avoid "city view" rooms. The hotel is on a busy street and near an interstate so you get a lot of traffic noise. Also the street lights are bright which makes it impossible to get the room really dark. This said, overall it was a very good experience.

Traditional American designed rooms including creaky floors and doors. Though the hotel's appearance was charming and accommodations comfortable, seeking nearby restaurants was scarce and the walking journey eerie. Staying in October, I found what restaurants could be found closed early around 8 pm, making touring and sliding dinner schedule inconvenient. Pioneer Square and International District was filled with rundown/abandoned buildings and littered with the cities destitute (no judgement, just an observation). A traveler seeking sites and activities within walking distance is better off staying in the Lower Queen Anne area where choices are more abundant.

The Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel was great. It's in a great location in Seattle with easy access to everything. The staff at the hotel were also wonderful. I definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel was perfect for sight seeing. 3 mins to waterfront and 5 mins to pikes and about 10 mins to space needle. If you want to catch a game your about 5 mins from train station or The Seahawks stadium.

Great restaurants everywhere and tons of stuff to do. Close to the piers. The building has an older feel to it but is very clean and kept up. Shower is hot and the room is clean. Some rooms have a better view than others. Elevators and nice old staircase to get around.

This hotel is strategically located in the heart of all things Seattle! It is close to the market place, close to the water and there are hundreds of things to do all around! The staff is amazing and always friendly and the continental breakfast was nice treat! It is a quaint little hotel where you will definitely want to stay at while you're in Seattle!

This hotel is a travel classic. We booked this hotel due to price, location, and facilities, and it met our expectations. The room was spacy enough, the bed was comfortable enough. It was quite noisy during the morning hours due to an old-fashioned window and due to the elevated two-level freeway (Alaskan Way) passing the building less than 25 meters from our window. The hotel needs renovation, but everything was clean and functioning. Wifi is fast and reliable, breakfast is like most American hotel breakfasts are, the staff is friendly and ready to help, cookies and coffee available in the lobby afternoons and evenings, parking in a nearby parking facility is affordable. The city operates a a free shuttle-bus route which leaves from the hotel front door every 20-25 minutes and goes all the way up to Seattle Center (Space Needle, Museum of Pop Culture). The hotel is located near Pioneer Square which is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Seattle. If you walk north you will go into the finer part of the city center, if you go east or south, you will go into the more dodgy side of the city center around King Street Station.

Great City to visit with family and perfect location for Hotel. Within Walking distance to Waterfront, Pioneer Square and especially all the transportation to other areas. The Lite Rail to the airport, Buses to the zoo, Space Needle, Duck Tour etc all within 2-3 blocks. Especially convenient for the Free Shuttle stop outside the front door to the Great Wheel,Space Needle, Pikes Market and all the waterfront activities. Inexpensive for travel on the public transportation and alleviates the need for a car rental, parking expenses and child car seats. Hotel staff were helpful and pleasant and breakfast was diversified and convenient with very efficient staff.

This hotel is located in Pioneer Square, an older part of town less than one mile from Pike Place Market, so it's easily walkable. The area has many homeless, unfortunately. The room was large, with a king-size bed, though the pillows weren't down, so not what we really like. The toilet was filthy, unfortunately. The A/C comes from a window unit and we had a scenic view of a wall. Breakfast had many options and parking is $25 nearby.

Good hotel, nice big bed, good location although Pioneer Square and indeed much of Seattle is teeming with homeless which spoils it.Our room looked out onto a massive brick wall. And the noise from the freeway was intrusive. I have found that if you book through booking.com you always get a rubbish room. Try to get a front room.

A weekend trip to Seattle and our first visit. This hotel is a beautiful entry to the past. Walking distance to Pikes Place and the piers. The nearby restaurants were numerous and lots of shopping too. The staff was exceptional in customer service and knowledge of the area. I can't wait to come back.

Our room was quite large. The maid service was superb. I am a stickler for looking at everything upon check in. It was spotless. Easy walk to the Underground tour and Pikes Fish Market and tons of dining spots.

This hotel was built in 1910 (approx) and retains some of it's early charm along with nicely remodeled bedrooms and bathrooms. Their WiFi is quite good and fast. Their location, right in Pioneer Square, is excellent with ethnic restaurants all around. My room overlooked the square which proved quite interesting. I found the staff quite helpful and friendly. They were knowledgeable about the local sights.They also responded quickly to an email I sent them prior to my arrival. I like staying there when I am getting ready to fly from Seattle as the Light Rail takes you from the airport to the hotel for $3.00 and 30 minutes time.

Decrepit old hotel straight outta the 80s. Poor internet, Dark room, AAC sounded like a 747. And wait for it... $280 for a one night stay. Staff were lovely, though maybe a little embarrassed by the hotel.

Three night weekend break. Cheerful staff / good service. The rooms were large but old and tired - we apparently had been given an upgrade, but it really didn't show. The room was clean enough, the bed comfortable but it all felt threadbare and smelled a little musty. As it turned out the hotel is at the wrong end of the tourist centre, a good walk or short taxi ride from Pike Place and the Space Needle. However it is only a few steps from the ugly flyover and the waterfront it spoils. Lastly, the breakfast is grim! Walk around the block to the superb Planet Java diner; great food & fun atmosphere.

A conveniently placed hotel to visit the waterfront and other attractions. We only stayed overnight en route to Portland but the room was very comfortable apart from the lack of a kettle or fridge . Bed good and very clean.Staff helpful and breakfast adequate.

I visited Seattle in the month of May this year for a business trip. I had to stay for two weeks, so wanted something comfortable enough. And the hotel surely is comfortable. You totally will love the room size, how smooth the checkin was. Many thanks to the girl at check-in who helped to make the process really fast. And generally i was happy with how things were setup, and staff. But one incident that pissed me off was with a reception guy. To be honest, his manner of speaking was demeaning, annoying, and very disrespectful. Whenever i bumped into him, the day would go south. An example, i came back to the hotel at around 9 pm, and had a meeting in few minutes. I got a call from this dude that there was some issue with my credit card settlement. Now mind you, i still have about 3-4 days left of my trip, and they know the firm i am coming from. But he kind of ordered me to come asap for the settlement. Wish i got his name, so that can alert you all to watch out and just stay away from him. Other than that, didnt have any problems there. Hotel is just next to the ocean front so you get an awesome view when you come out. Plus room has sofas and good beds, so really enjoyed my sleep

This wonderful hotel ii's clean, well serviced, with excellent amenities. Rooms are comfy, with hi speed internet and lots of charging stations. Staff are friendly and helpful.very close to railway station, the Pike Street Markets and lots of fun cafes. Great place

You are close to the action - Pioneer Square attractions, sports stadiums, ferry, Seattle Center, restaurants, waterfront and more. Nice clean rooms, good service, excellent complimentary breakfast. My room location was quiet (no view, faced an inner 'wall'. Interesting historic building. Very attentive staff. In room coffee/tea. NO mini fridge, NO microwave in my room (I did not expect them). Rooms are small, but comfortable. Included a desk & chairs.

loved the heritage building and area, very comfortable bed and pillows had a great sleep, nice and quiethotel is in a perfect spot you can walk anywhere very comfortably, lots of restaurants around and close to Safeco Field

Spent a night in Seattle before a cruise. This is a great location for restaurants and attractions. Close to both stadiums if you are attending the Seahawks or Mariners. Great complimentary breakfast and Starbucks just up the road.

Booked this hotel because it was close to both the Ferry terminal and the Amtrak station. Overall a throughly pleasant experience. Furnishings and decor all high end. Hotel accomodation as it should be.

The hotel was in the historic part of town and was just awesome. We had a room with a balcony facing the city so we watched traffic and people walking around. It as a beautifully decorated hotel. I would recommend anyone going to Seattle to take a cruise to stay here. There is a free shuttle that stops right in front of the hotel and will take you to different sites around town. (Space needle, Pikes Place Market, waterfront piers, etc)

If going to Seattle for football or baseball this is the place to stay. So much to do and close to Pike's Market for a day of shopping. Great selection of food choices and pub's to hang out in before or after the game.

Nice hotel, lots of new trainee with no service experience, everything takes longer to do. cannot adequately accommodate early check-in or late checkoutgreat location and breakfast.will get fridge if you ask for one.

Lovely hotel, centrally located. The hotel has a lot of original woodwork and the rooms are very comfortable. Front desk staff is very helpful. The location is great if you want to walk and see the excellent things Seattle has to offer.

The location is in an old, historic part of Seattle. It is close to Pike Place Market, the stadiums, Link train to and from SeaTac (be sure to purchase a ticket - we saw 2 people get caught so they do a lot of ticket checking), lot of restaurants, ferries and much more. The staff was very welcoming and greeted us every time we went by the front desk. They were helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. Housekeeping did a wonderful job and they were also very friendly. Our room was large compared to most modern rooms. It was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was the standard hotel breakfast but a selection of ready made breakfast sandwiches were always available. They also have a grab and go breakfast bag if you need to leave before the dining area opens at 6:00AM. Overall, very well done.

Easy walk to Pike Place Market and other destinations. The room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff was helpful, and the room was clean. This hotel is not a luxury hotel, but everything you need for a few nights and days of sightseeing and rest especially for the price compared to others.

Elegant comfortable boutique style hotel centrally located excellent breakfast helpful staff victorian style rooms relaxing lobby serving coffee cookies had a wonderful stay lot of restaurants near by close to downtown and pikkes market

Stayed three nights over a weekend in Seattle. This hotel is a nice old building in a historic part of town. It is a short walk to the waterfront, 1st streeet businesses or the stadiums. Parking is close and convenient. The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was modern. The bed was comfy. It is a 4 story building with a modern elevator, but I enjoyed usining the stairs even though our room was on the 4th floor. The classic architecture of a wrap around staircase was so inviting. There is a nice breakfast bar in the morning. The staff are very helpful in finding places to go and good places to eat. A great value for a great location.

I usually don't stay at Best Westerns but this one was very clean and the staff cared! Breakfast was delicious and the room was very clean. Staff was there immediately cleaning tables and sharing a smile.

we had a hospital visit and needed a quick room to stay at over night. The staff was very nice, helpful & professional. The hotel is more old school and the rooms are small. But all we needed was somewhere to sleep so we didn't mind. The breakfast was good and the kindness and patience of the staff made our stay that much better.

From check in until check out all the staff were friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to make this a great stay. Complimentary good filling breakfast with ample choice of hot and cold food, pastries, cereals, juices, endless coffee. Large spacious well equipped bedrooms. Great location in historic Pioneer Square, with free shuttle stop at front door. Extra touches like cookies, coffee and water offered in lobby. Great value for price - a great stay experience because of the lovely staff.

We stayed at the BW Pioneer Square when going to a Ball Game in Seattle. Hotel was within a few blocks walking distance to Safeco Field. The area was a bit rough but the hotel is very nice and felt safe inside. Was very expensive as a Canadian having to pay in US dollars but supply and demand. Would stay here again.

We stayed at the Best Western Plus Pioneer Square Hotel a couple of days before the 4th of July and would highly suggest this hotel. It's such a cute location with a ton of personality. When booking I mentioned that we were staying for our 8th anniversary and when we checked in the lady (I wish I could remember her name, she was so nice) who checked us in noticed and brought champagne to our room! The location was perfect too. We loved being able to walk everywhere from it, we could easily walk to the pier and to the stadium for a Mariners game. The breakfast was amazing, so many options and we really loved the breakfast sandwiches! If you are looking for a fantastic place to say in downtown Seattle book here today!

It is in an older neighbourhood of the city, but still close to the waterfront and all the attractions there. It's about 15-20 min walk from Pike Place Market too. The area is fine of a day, but just be a bit careful of a night as there are many shady characters that lurk around in the neighbourhood. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was very varied - I was impressed. The room was a bit on the small side, but the bed was really comfy and there was an ice bucket for if you bought any drinks. I'd recommend it definitely, but like I said, be aware of where you wander too.

Stayed here for a couple of nights on return from Alaska before flying home to UK. Wasn't sure what to expect from some of the reviews. Hotel is obviously a little dated but we found it comfortable and clean. The staff were all great and very helpful and the breakfast was good. We also really liked the neighbourhood although the construction for the new street car meant it wasn't at its best. Only downside for us was that our room was close to the elevated highway and it was incredibly noisy.

2nd time staying at this Hotel. Very nice and rooms are perfect. Very clean and very well maintained. Beds are SUPER comfy. Free continental Breakfast was excellent! ALL staff at this hotel were very friendly & greeted us everyday. Hotel is close to a lot of things. Safeco Field in particular which was one reason why we stayed here. Secured parking was offered for $25 USD off site a couple of blocks away. We used UBER to get around. Lots of roadwork going around the area and probably best to not be walking around at night. Thank you for the awesome accommodations!

Great staff, generous amenities and perks. Great location! If I were to state a defect, it would be that there was no refrigerator in the room, but I am sure the staff would have accommodated my needs because they were always so helpful and eager to please.

I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The front desk was friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean beds comfortable and I loved the views of Tacoma city. I have no complaints at all. I like the fact the hotel is not far from downtown Seattle.

The hotel is beautiful, is located dowtown a few steps from the docks, (Pier) where tourist life of Seattle takes part. The building is really beautiful. The rooms are specious, very clean, wonderful, confortable soft sheets, with all the amenities that good hotels offer. The recepcionists attend very kindly trying to help and resolve any question. The sad story of Seattle and what I found very diferent from four years ago I´ve been there, was that the homeless increased and the area feels insecure. The rate per night is too high, 394.00 dollars. Look for good rates in other pages. The city is expensive, you can find good places to eat or have dinner at a good price leaving a bit of the area. Starbucks a disappointment, almost all very dirty and bad service. At Capitol Hill you can find a good Satarbucks Reserve Roastery, and other options for good coffe. Seattle has a lot to offer, not only the city: mountains, great museums, parks, visits to Victoria or oder island. Wonderful city!!!

Booked in for work travel from Sunday-Wednesday during the summer. We arrived later Sunday evening and was told the hotel approved parking garage was a block away and there is no valet. Trust me, you don't want to walk a block alone at night in this neighborhood! No one to help bring up our bags, and very old elevator took forever to take us to our rooms. Once in, the overall rooms are very old (at least there is A/C). Spotty wifi internet. One of my colleagues got bit by a ton of bugs and we are thinking they are bed bugs. Overall terrible stay for the price tag. Would not stay here again.

This hotel was great! The room was large and the bathroom was huge. The hotel is located in the middle of Pioneer Square. It's a great location within walking distance of many local attractions and the Link. The breakfast service begins at 6 AM which is great for early risers since most restaurants in the area aren't open that early. I highly recommend this hotel.

The location for this hotel is excellent, it is an older hotel but still clean and has everything needed in a hotel The staff were all friendly and helpful close to good restaurants it is a little better priced compared to other hotels in the area

Great location just a couple of blocks from the Light Rail station. Friendly, helpful reception staff. Rooms large, clean. Breakfast had sandwiches, boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt .... easy to fill up on. Starbucks and Cherry Street Coffee a block away. Lots of great bars and restaurants nearby. We loved the location! Near to stadiums, Chinatown, waterfront, Occidental Square. Yes, some homeless people like to sleep in Pioneer Square. They are harmless and you will see homeless people all over Seattle. Again, hotel staff work hard to make sure you have a great stay. We were there for 5 nights and had zero complaints!

Our travel agent booked this hotel in conjunction with our Alaskan cruise. It was just 2 blocks from the light rail station that we rode from Sea/Tac, very convenient. Hotel was built in 1914 so rooms are small compared to modern hotels. Our room was a king room and bed took up most of the Space. Only one uncomfortable desk chair to sit in. Very nice clean bathroom, comfortable bed and hotel was quiet even though fully booked. Probably because of the thick walls of.older hotels. The breakfast was good, lots of.options. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Stored our luggage before room was ready. Gave us late checkout the day we left. The area around the hotel is sketchy run down, lots of construction. We did not go out after dark. Lots.of.homeless people in downtown Seattle. We needed a fridge in our room for medications and they brought one up. I think the whole downtown area is trying to regentrify so if you can deal with that this hotel is a good choice. Close to the water and Pike Market.

We chose this hotel because we were attending an event at CenturyLink field and we wanted to be within walking distance. It is a historic hotel built in 1914. Our room was well maintained, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all friendly. Self-park (which we prefer) was half the cost of other hotels in the area. The complimentary breakfast looked good although we didn't take advantage of it. This hotel is very central within walking distance to the stadium as well as Pike Place market and the harbour. A great stay, would stay there again!

Very nice historical building. Very clean, fresh smelling room. Walking distance to Centurylink Field, Safeco Field, Waterfront and Pikes Market. If your really ambitious you can walk to The Space Needle. No parking on site but received free parking a block away. Very expensive though, Room was nothing fancy just paying for location.

This hotel is less than a 5 minute walk to the water front, 15 minutes to Pikes square. Hotel was built ~ 1900 but is one of the best maintained properties I've stayed in, Breakfast was convenient, staff was friendly and helpful. Try the tavern next store for a beer or glass of wine.

I am a Best Western member. I reserved in anticipation of a late arrival in Seattle. After driving from Canada we were exhausted. After I checked in my family went to the room while I went to park the car in a parking lot for the hotel 2 blocks away. While I was parking my family said don't park because we're not staying at the Best Western. My family said the room smelled bad. I will refrain from saying what they said it smelled like but being a Best Western rewards member I implore Best Western executives check this place out. I was extremely disappointed and not happy about the room smelling badly and then having to find a new hotel room after a long drive.

this hotel is very central situated in the lively pioneer square quarter. You will find nearly anything in walking distance or at least reachable by metro. We got a nice upgrade to the top floor. Breakfast was nice and above expectations. It might be slightly noisy due to the nearby highway but it did not disturb us.

Clean and comfortable hotel in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square. Early American furnishings with evening snacks (water and cookies) and a nice breakfast included. Two blocks from the Lite Rail station. Easy walking distance to the Centurylink Arena and Safeco Stadium, Pier 57 with Seattle Aquarium and Ferris Wheel. Small walk from there to the Pike's Place Market and gum wall. Perfect location!

Stayed two nights prior to an Alaskan cruise. Great hotel with lots of character. The staff is excellent, I would definitely stay there again. We arrived very late the first night, and all the area restaurants were closed. The desk clerk opened the breakfast room for us so we could grab a snack. Service above and beyond!!

This hotel is in a very old neighbourhood how very it is within walking distance to the waterfront and the public market. Public transportation is also right there. It has a lot of character. Great breakfasts. Our room was a bigger room however we faced a wall so no view. That was ok because we didn't spend much time there. The window opens do we had fresh air to sleep with. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again

Location is perfect for attending a sporting event in Seattle and easy access from Interstate 5. Check in was smooth and easy with Michael assisting us. Parking is only a block away. Room was very clean and comfortable. Lots of good eating and socializing spots nearby. Will book here again.

We chose this hotel as we wanted to walk to Pike Place Market....and be close to King Street Station for boarding the Empire Builder the next day. Our view was the waterfront and a freeway...which was fine. Walking at night around this hotel leaves a little to be desired. The staff was the BEST ever. They were endlessly helpful in helping us find a bottle of wine....get a LYFT ride....just to name two. Professional and friendly. Great morning breakfast!! Clean rooms....delightfully appointed and spotless bathroom. Comfy bed. I love this place and will come back. Highly recommended.

I booked from online reviews and am so happy I did. I had a great business trip and then spent the weekend with friends. They thought it was great too! Great location! Walking distance to the stadium and nice places to eat and drink! Coffee shop close. The hotel was so cute and clean. Breakfast was really good! I'll be going again!!

A block from Pioneer Square. Original building that has been nicely upgraded with all the extras you would you expect at a newer facility. Within walking distance to the Seattle Waterfront, Seattle Aquarium, Fine dining on the warf, The Big Wheel, Pike Street Market, Pioneer Square, Underground tours of old Seattle. Our room was very nice, clean, comfortable bed and staff exceptional!

Enjoyed a quick stopover at this hotel. Was impressed with staff and amenities. The breakfast was surprisingly good, given the lack of a full kitchen. Location offers easy access to downtown, with plenty to see and do within walking distance.

When visiting Seattle I always stay in this old-fashioned hotel in Pioneer Square near the ferry wharf and the train station. It is within a short walk of the Pike Street market, the Underground Seattle tour, the Columbia and Smith towers, the gold rush museum and a great cafe called Planet Java. Location is somewhat noisy in the shadow of the Route 99 viaduct, but downtowns are generally noisy places.

Choose Best Western as I have always had good experiences worldwide. Good facilities, friendly helpful staff and I must say the range of breakfast items included was excellent. May be a while before back in Seattle but would definitely stay again. Very convenient for King Street Amtrak station and light railway. Also very close to sport stadiums.

Just a fun trip with my wife to visit the Seattle area. This hotel was excellent in terms of service, cleanliness, and was easy to walk to the waterfront. I would have given it 5 stars except for the location. The area is full of construction and a bit chancy to walk after dark. No problem at all during daylight.

Great experience as always. When I come to Seattle this is my favorite place to stay. Very convenient to restaurants and waterfront. Walking distance to most everything that I need and easy to get in and out of downtown Seattle through various routes.

I enjoyed my stay here at the property. My normal downtown hotels were sold-out due to a technical conference. The property is well-maintained, and a great example of early Seattle elegance. The staff is first-rate and housekeeping did their job without fail. The problem that keeps it from five-stars is the neighborhood. Something that's out of their control. Plan to eat and drink anywhere but around here. Food and drink choices around here are very, very limited. The downstairs bar that you see in the photos is pretty tired and seedy. The battle that Seattle is losing against the homeless is showing itself here in a strong way. While I have no problem with the few homeless I run into on the streets, the homeless here are aggressive and many are of criminal nature. Far worse than many other cities I visit. When asked by my customer where I was staying, it caused raised eyebrows, and solicited the caution to "Be careful around there". Definitely do NOT walk the neighborhood after 10PM.

If you want the downtown big city experience, you won't do better than the BW Plus Pioneer Square Hotel. The interior was nicely historic, but not decrepit. Our room on the 3rd floor was a little small, but fine for 2 people & 2 nights. There was no fridge or microwave, though the hotel provides breakfast. There are interior stairs as well as an elevator. We took a fairly quick bus trip from the hotel to Seattle Center (Space Needle), then the monorail to Pike Place Market, then walked back to the hotel. We probably could have walked the whole way, but wanted to save our feet a little. It's close to the waterfront, and as others have mentioned, about 3/4 of a mile from the stadiums. It was also SUPER close to at least one of the Seattle Underground tours. There were a plethora of restaurants and coffee places, as well as Pioneer Park within a couple of blocks. As of May of 2018 (when we went) the hotel has an agreement with a parking garage a couple of short blocks away. You can park your car there for $25 a day. Compared to some other hotels in the city this was a good deal, and I would NOT rely on street parking. We just left our car there the whole time and walked, but it was a quick walk from the hotel to go get it (you may have to park on the 8, 9, 10, or 11th floor of the garage, but there's an elevator). One negative (for some, not really for us) was the view from our room. It was almost comically bad. We didn't request anything, and our room was in the back of the building so we saw other tall buildings, and below was a drainage culvert with stagnant water, and there were probably homeless people around. We don't care about a view, but if you want a view, you should request it. The benefit of the room in the back (and a possible down side of having a room with a view) was that our room was very quiet. I was concerned that it would be noisy overnight. We had very little problem with noise. A couple of sirens & horns honking, but being in the heart of downtown, I'm not complaining about that at all. The price, compared to other hotels between the stadiums & Seattle Center, was very reasonable.

A place located in the old heart ood town. 2 min. on foot to the water front, 5 min. on foot to Smith tower. Pike Place Market is roughly 10-15 min. on foot. Price is adequate and breakfast in included. The breakfast however is quite basic, but nothing wrong with it. Downtown bars and restaurants are all in close reach.

Mostly a fine Best Western, more affordable and with more personality than the big-box chains. Pretty good breakfast but the prepackaged egg sandwiches were not good. Wish they had fresh cooked eggs. Biggest problem was that the AC units are way too noisy, and the carpet is past its prime. Otherwise, overall good.

This hotel is in a great location and is a wonderfully maintained old building. All the staff were helpful and friendly, and easily helped us change rooms when we needed another bed in the room. I stayed here so I could walk to and from Safeco Field for a Mariners game. Unfortunately, the homeless will accost you on the way home from Safeco. Don't attempt the walk with children. This is the only problem we had with our stay. This is not the hotel's fault; I hope this issue can be addressed.

Spacious & clean room; comfortable bed; friendly staff; complimentary breakfast w/ great selections. Within 5 to 10 minutes walking distance to piers, Great Wheel, Pike Place Market, and various restaurants; however, I won't go out by myself after dark.

I was looking for an overnighter hear King St station as had an early train to catch the following morning to Vancouver. Too early for checkin but front desk staff handled my paperwork efficiently and professionally. Held my luggage whilst I went for a walk up to Pikes Market and waterfront. My room was on 3rd floor and was extremely comfortable with everything you need for a restful sleep after a long flight. Room was very quiet and I heard no overnight noise. Good selection of bars and eateries just around the corner house in lovely old restored buildings. Loved sitting outside on a warm spring evening people watching with a glass of wine. Checkout was quick and professional and unfortunately didn't have time for breakfast but grabbed a great coffee from the Italian cafe on the corner whilst I waited for my cab. Overall highly recommend, comfortable, lovely staff and easy to access location

Stayed at the Best Western at Pioneer Square . Great location for tours, restaurants and and site seeing. Beautiful heritage building. We will be returning with the next group of visitors to our home.

very good location, close to the Seattle wharf. Close to many restaurants. a mere few meters from the Underground tour- note that there are two options. Your second option is much cheaper. Very good breakfast and great ans helpful staff. From the airport (SEA), take the light railway and stop at Pioneer Sq station- so convenient!!!!

If you're visiting Seattle and want to see the historic and famous landmarks, it is best to stay at this hotel. It is very accessible to everything...even if you have late night cravings! Would definitely go back to this hotel when I visit Seattle again in the future.

This was our first stay at the BW Pioneer Square, and we chose it specifically as it was close to the King Street Station. We were foot travelers, so either had to rely on walking or transit/cabs to get around the city. The area where it's situated is ideal if you're taking the bus/train, or if you're attending a sporting event at either of the arenas. Otherwise, it's a bit of a distance from the downtown core and main attractions. We felt totally comfortable walking around in daylight, but as it got darker, we preferred to retreat to our room for the evening. Our room was clean and comfortable, but lacked a mini fridge for storing cold beverages. The staff, however, made our stay worthwhile as they were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to assist us when we experienced a problem with our travel cards. We felt they genuinely cared about us and wanted to make our stay as memorable as possible.

We have stayed at many Best Westerns and assumed as the others this would be family friendly. When we checked in they didn't give us a key. We unloaded the car and explained we didn't get a key; they had no idea what I was talking about and after a round and round, got the key to our room. After finally getting a key, I asked where we could walk to dinner with our son. Both clerks exclaimed nothing really. Eventually one of them said the Med which I after walking past it several times assume they met the Mediterranean restaurant. The third floor window does not lock; if my son was much older I would be worried about him opening it and falling three stories to the water pit below. The city view is as my two year old said it, scary. I wasn't expecting a crumbling building, graffiti, and a city swamp. Our room was extremely noisy. The interior of our room was dated but clean. The linens were fresh. If you plan on walking anywhere after dark, there are much more pedestrian and family friendly places to stay.

This hotel is in an excellent location for the ferries, waterfront area and Pike Place Market. It's also a short walk from Pioneer Square Station for anyone travelling from the airport by train. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was quiet (we were not at the front of the hotel), clean and spacious. We would certainly stay there again.

The hotel is in an ideal location, being centrally located to the link train and to the ferry, as well as to the board walk and Pike's Market. Very clean, comfy beds, great breakfast (lots of selection from healthy to slightly fast food), and helpfful staff. Two streets over provide for many different food choices. Overall, the price was great for the value you get.

We wanted a hotel near everything in the Pioneer Square area, along with the WaMu Theater. This hotel fit the bill perfectly! We were able to walk to most everywhere, and when the rains came, we used Uber. The hotel staff to a person were incredibly friendly and helpful. Front desk, room service, breakfast area, etc. They seemed to go out of their way to make a positive impression - and they did. The bed and pillows were SO very comfortable! My only complaint was the size of the room - a bit small. And my recommendation for the next time we stay there - ask for a room that's not street side. Our room faced Yesler, and the early morning traffic and construction noise was unfortunate. But the overall cleanliness of the hotel was stellar! As were the people who served us there! Stellar!!

This is a hotel with an older décor or ambiance but it is in excellent condition and very clean. The service was excellent, room clean, and complimentary breakfast was very good quality. The location was close to stores, restaurants and attractions. We will recommend this hotel to friends and family.

We had a great time in Seattle. Our stay at the Best Western Plus Pioneer Square added to the experience. It's in an older neighborhood but it was very charming in the decor. The room had ample space for me & my daughter. The room was clean & well maintained. It didn't have a fridge or microwave, but it did have a coffee/tea maker. The king size bed was a little more firm than I like but still comfortable. The king size pillows were super comfortable. The bathroom was well stocked & it was pretty cool having a square shower/tub. Decent amount of space & didn't feel cramped. It was great having WiFi whenever we were back in the hotel. The breakfast was good & had a lot to offer than most continental breakfasts. They had waffles, oatmeal, cereals, bagels, toast, danish, muffins, yogurt, breakfast sandwiches, hard boiled eggs, fruit, tea, coffee, OJ, apple juice, different types individual milk/soy milk, and bottles of water. The breakfast room was small but was never crowded. The staff on hand kept the tables clean & helped with anything you might need. The only drawback to the whole experience was the parking. There isn't on site parking. It isn't anything against the hotel because that's just Seattle in general. We had to walk a block to get to the garage but we had 24hr access with in/out privileges. That was a new experience for me. All-in-all we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

Quaint spot in a good location. Enjoyed our three night stay here. Large rooms with a very large bed and large bathroom! Lovely and accommodating front desk team, we were fortunate enough to get an early check in and slightly later check out. Breakfast included is a massive advantage - waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, fruit, anything you could want! Cold water bottles provided too which is excellent. The hotel itself is very dated, but it adds to the charm and is very neat and tidy! Pioneer Square is very cool and lots of cafes, shops and restaurants within walking distance. About $7 Uber to central downtown. Thanks for a lovely stay!

I would highly recommend this hotel if you are traveling to Seattle, WA. It was centrally located downtown and within walking distance to the light rail. Staff very courteous and helpful. Very clean rooms.

Probably needs to be refurbished, but everything is clean and well taken care of. Location is great, just across the street from the port and only 10 minutes walking from major port sights like the aquarium. Easy to get to via Airport train. Had nice included breakfast with lots of options everything from breakfast sandwiches to dairy free chocolate milk.

Traveled to Seattle by train and this hotel is was easy to walk to from King Street Amtrak station. Arrived after 8 PM but area was safe although there are lots of homeless. Rooms are clean, comfortable beds and nice bath towels. Our room was 4th floor on Yesler Way, the front of hotel, which was OK for winter time but summer you may want a quieter location. Plus elevated Highway 99 is right at that end of the hotel and you definitely need ear plugs even in winter. Which is the only reason I didn't give 5 rating. The staff are all friendly and helpful, the whole hotel is kept extremely clean, I was impressed. Breakfast is all you could ask for and attendants keep it well stocked. You can easily walk to Pikes Place Mkt along the bay where there is lots to see also. We definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Spent a night here in the heart of Seattle's historic center. Very comfy, large room. We got a double upgrade and the staff was exceptional at making us comfortable. All definitely stay here on our next visit..

This hotel is easy to get to from the airport by car, has a car park 300m away which is extra, but is secure. Great welcome by very friendly staff who made you feel valued, they explained the room, breakfast and all of the local amenities which was useful. The building has a lot of character which I like, my room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a decent bathroom and shower. The hotel is situated in the historic Pioneer Square district and the bottom of the original "Skid row", after logging activities. It is a gentle walk to the city centre from the hotel, either along the front or up 1st Ave. Breakfast is plentiful, with great choices just what you need to start your day. A great location or tourists and I highly recommend this place.

From the hotel's own literature "Today, the Best Western - Pioneer Square Hotel is Pioneer Square Historical District's only operating first class small hotel that remains, as it continues a district tradition, in the midst of an architecturally restored and economically thriving neighbourhood steeped in Seattle's history." Previous reviews tell about the proximity to the railway station, Pikes Market etc. All true. My review focuses on the delightful interior period restoration, the large rooms and comfy beds and a heating/cooling system superior to any other I have ever encountered (Room 407). We will return to this hotel and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. Yes, it is downtown in the historic district so do not expect to see fancy gardens and boulevards. Instead enjoy the ambience of a beautifully restored historic hotel in Seattle's historic district.

Our stay here was kind of a happy accident. We were taking Amtrak up the coast to Seattle to be tourists for a few days. We were looking for an inexpensive hotel in the downtown area so we could be close to everything. The Best Western Pioneer Square was perfect! It's right on the edge of old and new downtown Seattle. It's walking distance from the train station, Pike Place Market, Harbor tour and the Smith building. The Seattle Underground tours are just a block away. We didn't bother with a car, we walked or took public transit everywhere, bus stops are a block or two away. As a bonus, the Metro light rail to SeaTac is also only two blocks away. Location couldn't have been better. The hotel itself was nicely refinished in a period look with a beautiful lobby. The room was quite large and very quiet. The bathroom was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The wifi was fast and never seemed to drop out. The included continental breakfast was tasty and varied enough to make it an acceptable start over several days. The staff were all very cordial and helpful, really excellent. And there are cookies and coffee in the afternoon. All in all, a really pleasant and comfortable stay. We'll definitely be staying here again and recommending it to friends.

Really enjoyed this hotel, nice location close to the train station. The decode is very historical and I enjoyed the look while it was still comfortable. Had a nice breakfast before leaving in the morning all around a good one night stay on the 4th floor.

We stayed in the Best Western Pioneer Square on our very first visit to Seattle Washington. The staff was helpful and went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. We explored the REI store , Pikes Market, took the ferry to Bainbridge Island, visited Smith Tower, and the Seattle Boatshiw all within walking distance. The hotel location and design added to the experience

What a hidden gem in downtown Seattle this is! I was there for 6 consecutive nights recently and had a wonderfully delightful stay. I was placed in the corner on the top floor. My room was very quiet (even next to the elevated expressway nearby) along with having a very comfortable bed which provided great nights of sleeping. There are many places to eat within walking distance, the underground tour is nearby and you can head right up 1st Ave to begin your tour of the city. What impressed me most about this historic hotel with character is the exceptional customer service I received prior to, and during, my stay. One of the highlights of my stay was my interactions with GSR Kalina (rockstar)...this lady is super professional, so friendly and personable, and wants to ensure your stay is quite memorable--she is definitely an asset to Best Western. I had a very warm first impression by Michael when I first checked in. Would I recommend this hotel for its value, location, and even a continental breakfast? Absolutely. For those of you expecting a full service hotel, this is not the place, you can do elsewhere for that...but...if you want a comfortable stay with great customer service this is a terrific spot in Seattle for your overnight stay. I recommend this gem and would definitely stay there again!

Stayed at the Pioneer Square Hotel when we went to visit our daughter. It is very close to the pier where you can take the ferry or walk along the pier. The hotel is older but something seems to be special about it. Continental breakfast is very good a lot of selections to choose from. If you like to walk it's not too far from the Marketplace or the Underground tour. I would stay there all of the time if it's not booked.

I just want to say thank you to your staff, everyone we came into contact with was happy to be of help. Our accommodations were clean and bright. The hotel has great charm that matches the feel of the neighborhood. The location was perfect as we spent the weekend exploring Seattle by foot, leaving the car parked. This will be our first choice the next time we are in Seattle! Oh and the breakfast was great!

I don't go to Seattle often. For this trip I was looking for an inexpensive hotel that was close to everything. Pioneer Square Hotel is a cozy hotel close (quarter mile) to public transportation including the Amtrak Station on King Street. Competitive prices for retirees. Excellent staff. Although there was a freeway nearby my room was very quiet. There are some homeless panhandlers in the area but they were never a problem. I was sorry to leave.

Hotel shouldn't have in service. The building is nice antique, but needs renovation big time. Carpets are worn out. General room appearance is not good. At the moment of my stay it appeared understaffed, we didn't have room service when needed .

We had a great time. The uniqueness of the hotel and the downtown area made the trip that much more fun! Glad we stayed with Best Western and will definitely go to the Pioneer Square Hotel again! We will recommend this to our friends and family.

The staff were caring and helpful. The rooms are smaller but, that is to be expected in a larger city. During the night, it was surprising quiet. My sleep was not disturbed. Keep in mind, I was visiting during a weekend. The parking garage is less than 3 blocks away. Wonderful dinning options like NIRMAL'S (Indian food) near by. Not to mention, the Space Needle is less than 2 miles walk away and Pike Place Market was only 15 minutes away.

The hotel is older and has a lot of character, in a good way. Its located close to Amtrak and the light rail. Downtown is less then 10 minutes away by Lyft or a 20 minute walk. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The room was simply but older. Beware of the bathtub, its extremely small, shallow, and a odd shape.

Staff is excellent, Service is great. I would recommend this Hotel anytime. The Rooms are great, the Service superior. Convenient located ion the Heart of Seattle. Definatley a Place I will use again.

This hotel exceeded all expectations. Front Staff and Manager made stay extremely enjoyable. Breakfast was great, as was Breakfast attendants. Coffee hot and fresh. Keep the Nutella in the breakfast choices! Great value for location. View of water a plus. We will be back. Accommodated family traveling and site seeing Seattle.

Hadn't ever stayed here before but had walked by it on numerous occasions. With so many homeless everywhere in Seattle and sleeping in every nook and cranny, especially in that neighborhood, I always assumed that this was just a "bum" hotel. However when reading reviews I figured I'd give it a shot for a couple of nights when up in town for a wedding. Am so glad that I did because it is extremely nice, the staff is great, the rooms very cozy and some even have balconies. I have a business trip scheduled for mid February, so will be booking my stay at this property for sure.

The location is convenient but the rooms are small and smell bad. The heater in our room was broken so they brought us a portable heater? Not what I expect when I pay that kind of money. The room was also pretty dirty and the floors squeaked whenever anyone took a step. The beds were not very comfortable. I would not recommend this hotel until they fix things. The service was good but the building is in disrepair in my opinion.

If you want a good deal on a room in Seattle, this hotel is the place to go. The free breakfast has enough variety to satisfy any appetite, the staff is so friendly and helpful no matter what the request, the room is comfortable and big enough to not be claustrophobic, and the location is convenient to all the sights whether on foot or by public transportation.

This hotel is a small hotel but size didn't matter because the rooms very reasonable, clean and centrally located in the heart of downtown Seattle. Walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and waterfront. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

They are a decent hotel in the area and I would recommend. They are not a full service established hotel and parking is a distance away, with the hotel only parking on the top floor with minimal parking spaces available. It took a long time to park and go to the top floor.

Great service great staff lovely hotel , very clean , excellent breakfast and close to many things in town.we will certainly go back soon .we had a room with balcony facing the waters.we had great time staying there for Christmas.

This hotel is near the Ferry Terminal and easily located. It's an historic building and has remained in the proper decor of its era. The room was comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. It's located close to the light rail and within walking distance of the stadiums or Pike Place Market.

Exceptional staff. Beautifully restored vintage rooms. Convenient to all modes of transport. Trains, ships, airport and yet step out of the busy streets into these comforting rooms. walking distance to restaurants.

As others have mentioned the location is great for visiting downtown Seattle. The light rail was just two blocks up so we used that along with the street car to get everywhere we needed to without driving. The rooms were spacious and quiet. Our only negative point is the in-room TVs are still SD and were really small. Picky I know, but these days you come to expect to have HD so next time we will just bring the Fire stick.

We loved the location of the hotel as well as the atmosphere! Once we parked the car, we walked everywhere until it was time to leave. Close to everything we needed. Great service & staff. Clean rooms, staff was willing to go extra effort to accommodate.

Great hotel in a historic area of old Seattle. Being a downtown area it's a bit depressed, but it's close to the water front and cultural sights. All around I recommend it for the experienced traveler

Stayed 4 nights in the Best Western Pioneer Square and had a great stay. Hotel is a historic building, so rooms were small but that was expected. View of the vacant lot was bad but bed was great. The location could not be beat and the hotel price was a great value. I would not hesitate to stay again. Free breakfast

The bed was amazing. Breakfast was good. Room was good size. Was close to the train. It was easy to get to the airport. Location to tourist spots was a little distance away. It would have been nice to have a courtesy shuttle to and from airport.

Shady area at night time. Be aware of your surroundings! Great area for walking around during the day. Lots of history to learn. Was overcharged 4 times and they could not explain to me what the charges were. View was horrendous. No fridge in the room. Continental breakfast items were very limited.

If you have read my reviews of the Best Western Pioneer Square Hotel before you know that this is my favorite Seattle Hotel. Our excuse for going to Seattle was Christmas Shopping for our wives, and it worked! A few blocks from the hotel is one of the Light Rail Stations which with little time, cost or effort will drop you off in the middle of the Westlake Center. Another bonus is that from the Westlake Center it is a fun downhill walk to the Market and back to the hotel. The Pioneer Square Hotel was great. Great friendly service; nice room; wonderful location; good free breakfast, and quick free WIFI.

Truly enjoyed our stay, Thai restaurant next store was very reasonable and and the food was excellent. The staff at the hotel were wonderful. Walking distance to many main attractions and events. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay with many restaurants close by, great continental breakfast with many choices. close to the sports stadium. quiet street so not a lot of traffic. rooms very clean and the staff is always willing to help and they greet you as you walk in.

I booked this hotel for a business trip for the location. I rode the train in from the airport...walked the 4 blocks to the hotel, and was very pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, décor and staff ! I will come back for a personal trip....

Its always a great place to stay, one of the BW to stay overnight, we hope it remains the same for our trips to Seattle, WA, we are never disappointed, great place to stay, close distance to many sights and events

Highly Recommended. Downtown Seattle, very close to Pike Place Market, Original Starbucks store, Seattle Art Museum, The Showbox, The Seattle Symphony, and Seattle Underground Tour. Uber less than $10 to Seattle Center, Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Museum of Pop Culture

I stayed at the BW Pioneer Square Hotel in Seattle, WA. The breakfast was AMAZING. The rooms were clean, very comfortable and had a lot of character. The entire staff was wonderful. It was located in the perfect spot for catching the ferry or sightseeing in Seattle. Close to EVERYTHING! I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Seattle. A+++++

I think this hotel is a hidden jewel. Outside appearances are very deceiving. Beautiful and welcoming inside. Breakfast is great! Staff is outstanding! Walking distance to many locations that an out of town guest would want to visit.

Everyone was very sweet and helpful. The front desk staff was amazing, nice, friendly, and willing to help with whatever my husband and I needed. The room was clean, nice and had a balcony! We will definitely be coming back.

Nice historic hotel, staff was nice. Located downtown. Parking was sparse. Hotel has a special deal with a parking garage that does make it easier. Lots of homeless sleeping in doorways of businesses at night.

Booked at the last minute over Thanksgiving. Period hotel and furnishings with attentive staff. Room was adequate and clean. Breakfast had anything you coukd ever want for breakfast. Can't faukt the staff with their cheerful attitude and helpful advice.

The stay was good and the staff did great: was very disappointed about the mix up on the reservations and could not be reimbursed for the earlier booking. The cost to stay a night that I was not even in town for was disappointing to say the least. The night spent there was good.

Located in a 110 year old courtyard style building, this is the real Hawaii with a Hemingway style bar and great restaurant. The staff are helpful and friendly, the rooms are big and spacious with large balconies overlooking a pool and the ocean only 100 metres away. We are definitely going back to Maui next year and staying at this hotel.
