Bottom Line

This mid-size, economy hotel is centrally located in the heart of Seattle -- equidistant to the downtown area and the Space Needle -- making it an ideal choice for those in town for business or pleasure. With the property adjacent to the lovely tree-lined Bell Street, guests of Belltown Inn will find themselves within easy walking distance of many area restaurants and bars as well as significant city sights like Pike Place Market, Seattle Center, and Seattle Aquarium. The rooms in this hotel are small and fairly standard issue, but they're clean and comfortable. All have kitchenettes with microwaves and mini-fridges as well as flat-screen TVs, but there’s no air-conditioning or free Wi-Fi, though the daily surcharge for Internet access is not obscene compared to other hotels. The business center is open 24 hours and there are also hotel staff members available around the clock. Fun perks include a lovely rooftop deck and free bicycles you can borrow.

Oyster Hotel Review

Belltown Inn

Scene

A welcoming, cheery starting point for Seattle adventures

With a motto that declares "Walk to everything!" Belltown Inn makes it clear that this is more of a convenient stopover on your way to seeing Seattle's sights than a hotel you'll want to spend a ton of time hanging out in. That being said, the property is clean, cheery, and welcoming. The exterior even feels a tad whimsical thanks to its checkered facade and turquoise mosaic columns. The lobby is functional with leather seating and Picasso-esque print armchairs. There’s an interior courtyard with a tiled fountain and a lovely rooftop deck that also provides a place for guests to gather, weather permitting.

Location

Within walking distance to most Seattle sites in central Belltown

Conveniently located between downtown and the Space Needle, the inn's location makes it ideal for visitors trying to see Seattle's sights as well as for those in town on business. Pike Place Market, Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Center, and Pacific Science Center are all within walking distance, as it’s about three quarters of a mile max to any of these places. Immediately surrounding the hotel you will find a tree-lined street with little shops; head down Bell Street -- which the inn abuts -- and you’ll run into a slew of restaurants and bars. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is about 20 minutes south.

Rooms

Nothing special, but clean and comfy with kitchenettes and flat-screen TVs

All 127 guest rooms at Belltown Inn are fairly standard hotel fare. In other words, these spaces aren't going to rock your world with their decor -- think white walls and duvets, burgundy carpets, a wild Picasso-like armchair to match the ones in the lobby, and wood furniture. That being said, things are tidy and well-kept, and the beds feature pillow-top mattresses. The kitchenettes are a super-convenient perk and have microwaves, mini-fridges with free bottled water, and coffeemakers.

There are also flat-screen TVs available with premium channels, but Wi-Fi is not free. However, the daily Internet fee is definitely not as high as other hotels. The rooms also don’t come with air-conditioning, though the Seattle climate usually doesn't make it necessary. Windows can be opened, and there are ceiling and pedestal fans. The bathrooms have showers and tubs with sufficient water pressure (and shower curtains that match the bed skirts), though the free-hanging bathroom mirrors and sinks can feel a little small when trying to get ready.

For the quietest rooms, ask for one overlooking the interior atrium and not the street, as area traffic can be noisy. Also keep in mind that there’s no daily maid service, only weekly if you’re staying for multiple nights, so plan accordingly.

Features

Free bicycles for guest use, 24-hour staff and business center, coin-operated laundry, and a rooftop deck...

This hotel doesn't have a pool or a fitness center, but exercise-minded guests can "walk to everything" as the venue says, and free loaner bikes are also available. Belltown Inn is staffed around-the-clock, and there’s a 24-hour business center with two computers, a printer/copier, and a paper shredder. The coin-operated laundry on the premises is helpful for guests staying for extended periods of time. During pleasant weather, the rooftop deck provides a lovely place to relax thanks to its patio furniture and Pacific Northwest city views.
