Seattle Marriott Waterfront
Elliott Bay fills the windows of most rooms here—half even have small Juliet balconies—and the waterfront location puts both cruise terminals and top tourist spots within easy reach. Groups and cruise travelers flock to this reliable favorite for its comfort, convenience, and cushy beds. Public spaces feel warm and polished, while guest rooms are standard but well kept. The Hook and Plow serves straightforward American fare, though better dining waits just outside. For the prime view, spring for a north-tower room; it’s worth the upgrade.
