 | Marriott Seattle Waterfront: Across the street from the piers & Elliott Bay

I prefer either the Westin or my favorite, the Edgewater, but I went in and checked this place out & talked to the staff.
It's a decent hotel, and again, it's all about "marriott-style" amenities & the waterfront location.
Even with AAA or other special / corp rates you're still going to pay ~$200+/night, but Seattle waterfront hotel rooms are never cheap.
As it is a Marriott, it is like all other Marriotts, Hiltons, Hyatts, full service hotels.
Two distinctions of this hotel are:
the waterfront location; and the outside elevator on the south side that will take you from waterfront level and deposit you some 30 ft straight up at downtown street level, saving you a hefty climb if you were planning on walking up from the waterfront to downtown for some sightseeing.

| Marriott Seattle Waterfront: Expensive!! -- Only on an Expense Account

 View from my room's balcony -
Is it worth $200+ ? by suzyav8trix
Front desk staff was business-like, if not a little daft. They were not very acquainted with the grayline shuttle service that is one of the only forms of public transportation that service this hotel other than taxis. For a hotel of this size and at this price level, I expected more "service". On the other hand, I asked the concierge where there was a store nearby that I could buy an eyelash curler. She offered me hers to borrow -- nice, but Yuck!
My room was gorgeous with a private balcony overlooking Elliott Bay. The room was very large and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was not huge, but had a lot of counter space -- which I like to have when traveling.
Drinks at the hotel bar were also expensive. But you are a captive audience as there are very, very few places near by to have a drink. That said, they had an excellent wine list, many of which were available by the glass. And the pours were generous.
Even on an expense account, it's an awfully expensive place to stay. Getting to and from the place is expensive too. And it's not really convenient to anything other than the convention center and the cruise ship terminal. As beautiful as it is, I can't recommend. For the same money or less, the Westin, just one example, is more centrally located. The "waterfront" location isn't worth the expense, in my opinion.
Fitness center & indoor/outdoor pool; Restaurant; Bar
Across the street from the Int'l Cruise ship terminal.
Also, across the street from a convention center, where my conference was taking place and the ONLY reason I stayed here.
PIcture is the view from my balcony -- nice, but worth over $200 a night? You decide.
