The Belltown Inn

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This is a gem at an excellent price. There is the cutest little courtyard in the middle and an excellent biscuit restaurant attached. The staff was above and beyond, super friendly and helpful. There were even free Pirate's Booty in the room! This is an area that you definitely need to be aware of your surroundings, as many areas of Seattle can be but we felt completely safe once we were on the property and the manager was very attentive to make sure all guests were comfortable. The location is amazing, close to Pike's Market, Aquarium, Argosy pier. We walked to T-Mobile and could have walked to Climate Pledge as well if we weren't behind time. Remember you are in a big city with a lot of small crimes and homeless people who are harmless but always be on full alert. We would absolutely stay here again!"
