Courtyard Seattle Downtown/Lake Union

The courtyard is a good hotel -- nothing fancy, but it was clean and comfortable. I wish there had been an outdoor patio/courtyard for guests, and I also wish they had a pool, but it is right across from Lake Union where you can watch people swimming and paddleboarding. You can walk or run the Lake Union trail, or take a decent walk to downtown and/or Seattle center. It's a great location if you don't mind some decent walks. The neighborhood was better than expected even with all the construction, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

They had fresh steel cut oatmeal with all the trimmings. The people working there were kind and genuine, I think solicitous, both at the front desk and in the breakfast room. We had stayed there before the renovation and really liked the reno details and everything, except some of the upholstered cushions in the breakfast room, was spotless.

• awesome staff, multiple individuals • great check-in process even with multiple people checking in. • Great views of lake from 2nd floor elevator and up! • Parking across street was free and very easily-accessible and right across the street from front door of hotel! • great downtown access and access to highways • 2 Starbucks on same street within 3 mins driving of hotel! • Hospitality with the ladies that clean the rooms was awesome!

Location was great, and fairly easy to get to. Walking distance from a lot of attractions in Seattle. Room was quiet and had a lovely view.

Location and staff were really lovely.
