Larkspur Landing Renton - An All-Suite Hotel
3.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very good, 3,518 reviews
"This hotel was in a quiet location and located very close to a few different highway on ramps making it easily accessible to touristy locations. The staff was friendly and responsive. The breakfast wasn't a traditional continental breakfast - but they did have boiled eggs, yogurt, muffins, bagels, oatmeal, cereal, & fruit. The rooms were spacious, bathroom amenities were high quality, and YouTube & Netflix were both available on their TV's. We would definitely stay at this location again!"

"The place was very clean and comfortable. We found plenty of pillows and blankets. We stayed here for 2 days, 3 adults. The location is very centralized. We were able to walk to the pier for our embarkation day. The communication was great previous arriving day. Once in the location, I never heard from the owner again. I texted when arrived and once on the ship once gone. I got no responses, nor the code for the door so we could get in the building. I would still rent again."

"Clean and reliable place to stay. We really appreciate having so much space, big windows, a desk dining table for working on our laptops, and a full kitchen. The building is older so there's definitely quirks, but we continue booking our stays here. Appreciate the secure entrance. Metropolitan market right across the street is great for their hot bar, coffee, groceries, etc. Great restaurants nearby. Host is very accommodating and responsive to any questions we had.

Secluded Tree-Top Cabin on West Seattle Waterfront
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, 83 reviews
"Cute little place. Provided a keurig but only had tea. No big deal just noting. Bathroom lighting is not great. Heating is hot as hades or cold. Hard to find happy medium with baseboard heat but to be expected. If you’re parking an SUV, plan to finagle your way out. Overall, I was happy with this unit."
