Hoodsport Holidays from NZ$2,258

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!

Loved the bathroom very updated and clean.

I booked the Mayflower Park Hotel expecting a little history and charm. Instead I got catfished — hard. The lobby photos online were doing some serious Facetune work, because in person it looked like it hasn't been redecorated since the actual Mayflower docked. If you're going to run an old profile pic, hotel, at least be upfront about your age. We'd have respected you more. Buckle up, because I'm about to walk you through three separate rooms — not because I'm picky, but because the first two check-in attempts were genuinely unlivable. Room 1 (floor 7): billed as "non-smoking," smelled like the inside of an ashtray that also smokes. I'm convinced that carpet was installed the day smoking bans went into effect, purely as a protest. Room 2 (floor 12): no smoke, but a DIY air conditioner duct-taped into the wall like a hostage situation, venting into a window sealed shut with painter's tape. Free soundtrack included: honking traffic, all night, because the window physically could not close. Room 3: by this point I was one bad smell away from walking out and booking elsewhere. This room was mercifully mainly smoke-free and actually clean, so I stayed. Let's be clear though — this wasn't "genuinely fine." It was basic. The best of three underwhelming options, which is a low bar to clear and they cleared it by an inch. Bottom line: the staff were kind and patient with my three-room odyssey, which counts for a lo
