You’ll fall in love with the Hotel Monaco from the moment you walk through its front doors. Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, you’re just minutes from all the major attractions including the famous Pike Place Fish Market. Each room is individually decorated with attention to every detail. While the Wi-Fi isn’t free, you’ll at least sleep like a baby thanks to its posh bedding. As luxurious as this place is, guests can still bring along their pets, even the feathered ones.
Right on the Lake
Perfect if you’re coming for a concert at Key Arena or heading up the Space Needle, the business friendly Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown is situated right on the shores on Lake Union. You can go for a run in nearby Lake Union Park, get some work done in the huge business center, or just enjoy a good meal with lots of dining options nearby.

Rooms are simple yet comfortable and the highlight is definitely the huge complimentary breakfast.
Close to the university
