The Edgewater Hotel
- June 28, 2009
- Rated 5 of 5 by

My wife and I stayed at the Edgewater for our 20th anniversary. We stayed on the water side of the hotel. The view and the weather was fantastic. I don't think that we closed the windows for 5 days. The bed was very comfortable and of course my wife loved the bathroom with the tub and shower. The staff was friendly and helpful and the free shuttle was a plus. $30.00 a day for parking in a hotel where you are a guest is about the biggest complaint that I had. I would stay here again in a heart beat if it was just my wife and myself. With kids, I think I would stay somewhere else. The hotel is within walking distance from several places of interest, but you will have to walk up quite a few hills.
Fabulous waterfront lodging

Elegant & contemporary surroundings with a casual coastal feel; the staff was wonderful; the views unsurpassed (waterfront on Elliott Bay including ferries and sunset); easy walk
to Pike Place Market, downtown, the Aquarium, Space Needle;
dining room is lovely with sweeping views of the water and fine food. Nice to have the convenience of north end of downtown but the ambience of ocean lodging. I loved my stay!!
Sleepless in Seattle

Historic hotel with a location that has positives and negatives. If you don't get a waterfront room be prepared to listen to trains on the adjacent railroad tracks all night. And as I was told by a less then empathetic front desk clerk "Seattle is a busy port and the trains run continually".
In my interaction with staff they were unresponsive to the point of being rude. Management is trying to address the issue and I hope they get it under control as the property does have a unique place in history.
Ok Location, nice views, kinda strange hotel

We stayed in the Edgewater for Memorial Day weekend this year. We thought the location was ok - close to Pike Place but it was quite a walk to get pretty much anywhere and the closest bus stop was about a mile away. The hotel does offer a free shuttle every hour, so that was nice to use occasionally. The weird part about this hotel is the interior design. It's half cabin/woodsy and half modern. The bathroom has nice red walls and wainscot and a black sink but then the shower has kinda spa-like nature-y stone tile that doesn't match at all. We stayed in a king, deluxe patial ocean view and half the time cruise ships were parked right outside our window. I liked having a fireplace but we just used it briefly because it heats up the room really quickly. The room is pretty small and totally dominated by the four-poster bed. The service was good though and the room service was excellent. I just don't think the people who did the re-model thought everything through. For example the hotel provided blow-dryer blew a fuse in our room. The engineer who came to fix it said to expect it to happen again because the guy who did the electrical in the hotel didn't provide enough capacity. How silly! Anyway, it was fine to stay there but I don't think I'd recommend it or stay again.
awesome
