Staybridge Suites Seattle - South Lake Union, an IHG Hotel

Location is great, secure and safe property, clean and properly maintained. Very comfortable pillow top bed, and fantastic pillows! (Even extra) The merging of the two check in locations had us confused for a moment but found the Bigfoot tracks to elevator very helpful. After that there was signage to guide us to the correct location to check in. Our room is very spacious, with everything included. Perfect for any length of stay! I’m a huge coffee drinker (true PNW) and the struggle is real when staying elsewhere. Usually the coffee is limited, quality is so-so and the amount of sugar/creamer is a joke…. WELL NOT HERE FOLKS!! I’m beyond happy to report to all those fellow coffee lovers - this property had it all. A FULL size coffee pot, two large bags of coffee incase one pot wasn’t enough 😆 and get this…. A HUGE bowl full of the necessary stuff like creamer, sugar, sweeteners…🤯 this will be on our favorites list for future trips. #mylivelyreviews

The breakfast was very good and stayed well stocked all morning. I was glad to see the signs the staff put out in the dining area requesting that we eat our breakfast and move on so others could enjoy the food. There were some groups of people hogging multiple tables all morning on the first 2 days so I appreciated the effort on the staff's part. The lobby bathrooms were always clean and all but 1 staff member were very nice.

We used the hotel as a mid-holiday recharge/base. Loved the equipped kitchen & large fridge/freezer which meant we could have the comforts of home as it's amazing how you miss being able to open the fridge for a drink of milk etc. I used the sofa bed (family room) for 5 nights and it's surprisingly comfy, no back ache and I'm 220lb. Laundry room was very good along with free dryers (reception have a "pantry" type section next to it and sold individual wash pods which was very cost effective). Breakfast was free and it showed, but it wasn't bad - good choice of coffee, fruit/cereal, cooked breakfast (that changed everyday). Outside area within the hotel was really nice and peaceful with a good bar that had a bit of life in it. Area was nice & safe (if bland), but Union lake is only a 5 min walk, 10 mins to the QFC supermarket & 15 mins to the space needle. Streetcars are frequent and pretty quick into Seattle's more touristy parts too. Taxis were generally quick but the Hotel is near a major intersection so a pop around a couple of corners in rush hour is advised.

Staybridge was the perfect base for our 5 night visit to Seattle. The hotel was a 15 minute walk to the Space Needle area. Pike Place was a longer walk but totally manageable also. Bus stops for the c line and line 70 were within a few minutes walk of the hotel and we used those to get to the docks for the ferries and sea taxis. The area around the hotel was calm and we found our room quiet (4th floor and not facing a road) despite Mercer Street being a busy road. The King studio room was spacious and light and the area around the hotel was calm. All spaces in the studio were very clean. There was a huge fridge with a big freezer compartment, a dishwasher and a microwave oven as well as a toaster and a drip coffee machine. We found all the staff to be very helpful and friendly and appreciated having laundry facilities at our disposal. Plenty of restaurants close by if you do want to eat out. We would definitely stay here again !

Rooms were very clean and quiet at night despite being in the downtown area. Beds and pillows had good support for sleeping. Breakfast was served hot and was good. Staff was pleasant.
