"As indicated by its name, the Inn at the Market offers the quintessential Seattle setting, being that it's the only hotel situated right at Pike Place Market. Rooms with water views look out over the iconic market neon sign, the Great Wheel, Puget Sound, and, on the horizon, the Olympic Mountains. Head downstairs to emerge into the heart of the Market, stocked with flowers, produce, fresh seafood, and locally-made arts and crafts. For a hotel in the heart of the action, it’s surprisingly quiet and private inside. The guestrooms are all beautifully appointed with earth-toned decor, custom linens, and nature-themed artwork; and they have floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the winning views."

"Flames dance prettily inside the lobby fireplace, giving the room an urban lodge vibe that feels just right on a rainy day at Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market, first opened in 1907. Elegant yet cozy, this 79-room hotel in the heart of the market counts plenty of loyal repeat customers among its clientele. From business travelers lounging on the lobby couch to couples celebrating their anniversary with Champagne sipped from well-placed swivel chairs in the waterfront rooms, the inn feels full of happy people." - Jessica Voelker, Naomi Tomky

Bottom line: Why will we love it here?Until you see it, it’s hard to understand the allure of Pike Place Market. But food lovers will fall hard for this collection of labyrinthine buildings where you can buy everything from freshly foraged morel mushrooms, slippers crafted from the wool of sheep raised on a nearby island, and spectacular grower Champagnes from two of Seattle’s best wine shops—DeLaurenti and Pike & Western.

Can not recommend a better place if you are wanting to stay near Pike Place Market. We had one day to spend in Seattle. Decided to go to the hotel earlier than the posted check in to ask if we could drop our luggage and car ... to our surprise, they had a room for us! It made our trip perfect. They are, literally, a stones throw from the market and so many great restaurants. The room was nice, clean, beds comfortable. Shower only, no bathtubs. The 5th floor lookout was fun with the lit fireplaces that overlook the market/water/mountains. We had the perfect view of Mt. Ranier. Prices are the best in comparison to others. We loved our stay. Would we stay there again? Absolutely.

The staff at Inn at the Market are excellent! I was greeted at the taxi (when I arrived), with the luggage person taking me right to the front desk. I was early for my reservation, so expected to only drop off my bag, but there was a room available, so I could check in and go to my room before continuing on with my activities! Everyone at the front desk was wonderful. All of the people handling luggage were spectacular. I left my luggage there my last day while I had some tours, and picking up the luggage and the ordering of my taxi was easy. The room was clean, quiet, and had a lovely view. There is also a fifth floor viewing deck / patio (outside) where you can watch the sunset, see the market, and just be outside. There are fire pits on this patio. The shower pressure was great, and the water warmed up quickly. The room was spacious! The location was superb! I could walk to the market (less than a block). I also walked to Pioneer Square and other locations in Seattle. Wonderful location! I highly recommend the Inn at the Market!

Had a wonderful stay at Inn at the Market. Walking distance to the waterfront and Pike's Market. Our room was on the side facing Post Alley and we had a couple of times where we heard very loud people as they passed through on their way to somewhere else. Otherwise, very good soundproofing and very comfortable room. Sitting out on the terrace (5th floor) next to a gas fireplace, looking out over the water was lovely.

We stayed at the Inn over the weekend, it was exceptional. The views from the top deck, the hotel space, I got a really awesome nook that overlooked out to the Pike Place from my room. It was amazing! Definitely won’t be the last time we stay!

The hotel is only a few metres from the Pike Place Public Market and is a cosy bolt-hole away from the crowds. The staff were exceptional and hotel itself was spotless. Our room and bathroom was huge and very comfortable. We loved the roof-top patio area with the fire pits as well.

Stayed recently with my husband and child. The hotel is beautiful and perfectly located, rooms are spacious and well appointed. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever experienced. Would highly recommend for families with children.

Loved it! Wonderful location, friendly staff, room was very clean and quiet. Great rooftop deck with view of sunsets, Ferris wheel, Mt. Rainier, the Olympic Mtns, and The Market. Also gas-light fire pits for winter warmth while star gazing.

The hotel is under construction resulting in a very cramped and inconveniently located alternate lobby. Presumably that also contributed to the exceptionally cold room. The heating worked, but was insufficient to the need. We ended up putting a pillow along the door as a draft barrier and that helped. The majority of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. That only pointed up the male staff member on the last day who was exceptionally difficult and rude. Telling us we were cluttering up the hallway when he was the one who refused to understand we wanted our bags that he was trying to move to a storage room. We had asked for the car to be brought around which he failed to understand. He is the reason for a lost star as he was so incredibly rude. We may stay here again, but will ensure the renovations are completed before booking.

The bed was comfortable. Pillows were too soft. Room and hotel overall were clean! The staff was helpful and friendly. Location is perfect IF you want to be near Pikes Peak Market. The roof top area is for sitting outside and the view. There is no bar or food up there unless you bring it yourself. Overall, IF you want to be in this area of town, then this IS the hotel where you want to stay. But, it is not a large hotel, so book early if you can.

Dee Ann L.

Yelp

Awe inspiring from friendly check-in to check-out. Have never stayed in an inn built into a hill before with views of the Market, the Bay, and Seattle. The room was huge, bed comfortable, and everything was great. Location was excellent for stepping out to the market, to the street, and on up to the 5th floor to relax and view.

Molly G.

Yelp

Convenient location but disappointing hospitality experience. Room was not ready for check in at 4 pm. Employees were completely apathetic regarding the delay. Service overall during my 4-day stay could have been better. What you must know is you are essentially only paying for the location. There is absolutely nothing that stands out about the rooms that sets them apart from any mid-range hotel. I suppose I was expecting a higher quality feel given the price point. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times we live in that businesses have their hands out for more but provide less to the consumer. Don't be fooled by the Inn's marketing, there are other hotels nearby within very reasonable walking distance to the market. I'll try one of those next time I visit Seattle.

Where do I start? The best location, minutes from everything and a few steps from Pike Street Market. The staff was helpful and great. Our room was quiet and comfortable. I can't think of any negatives. And the rooftop deck was literally the cherry on top! What a view! Also they have a great heart for animal organizations!

Paul Z.

Yelp

Returned for a family visit at Thanksgiving and continue to find the Inn providing consistent and excellent visitor attention. The service of Paul and his team in valet is attentive and aware of time issues. The front desk service of Holly and Emily is one of the best I have experienced in the hospitality industry. Look forward to future stays!!!

If you're planning to visit the Pike Place Market while staying in Seattle, this is by far the best place to spend a night or two due to the location. It's quite literally in the middle of the market, meaning you'll be within a half mile walking distance of everything there. Being able to freely go back and forth to your room (and bathroom) while visiting the Market is worth the extra price if you factor in what you might spend on Ubers or taxis if you stayed elsewhere. The staff were very nice and helpful, even offering us free bottled water upon our arrival. The rooms were very clean and had plenty of space, and the beds were comfortable. Other than the location, which was perfect, the real secret here is the rooftop bar/seating area complete with gas fireplaces. It's the perfect place to sit and chill safely while overlooking the market and with a full view of the Peugeot Sound.

Jay S.

Yelp

The rooms are beautiful and quite clean. But the secret to this place is the rooftop deck on the 5th floor. Here's a nice tip, go to H Mart pick up dinner /drinks and then bring it to the roof deck with amazing views of the city. People who work there are incredibly friendly. A shout out goes to Colin, Adrianne and the entire staff...

Yelp

I'm kind of torn on this 3-4 star but when I think about the experience I have to put it down to the Memories that stand out. First, the good; The rooms are pleasant and comfortable. You cannot beat the location in the heart of downtown Seattle. Heck one I got the rythem of the place for breakfast in the mornings i would just pop across the street to the pike place market as stuff was being delivered and before tourists, other tourists I guess, showed up and would pick up what I liked and strolled back to enjoy it in my room. Likewise pretty much everything of significance in downtown Seattle from Chinatown to the Space Needle is in walking distance. The costs in the hotel, and I don't mean the room, but meals is a bit high. When my wife and I first got there we had breakfast and a late night meal there but the prices were pretty steep leading us to look elsewhere for food and as noted about, it was pretty darn easy.-see great location. The real down side was the staff and this takes some explaining. For the here and now they were great giving directions making suggestions etc. absolutely great. but. anything that needed a plan-like a wake up call the next time or can you arrange X for tomorrow, they'd happily say 'yes' and then get it wrong. They were so unreliable in this matter, and so unapologetic that by the end of the trip I'd assumed they'd get it wrong and made alternate arrangements assuming-and proved right-they'd get it wrong-and when this includes an early wake up call because of a flight, that's pretty serious. So for location, room quality etc this would easily be four stars but the problems with the staff , and I'm not belaboring you with those, knock it down to a 3. I still have a bad taste in my mouth.

What a wonderful place! The location was perfect, Pike Place Market right around the corner. The rooms were great, customer service was great. The best part was the 5th floor roof top deck. So nice to unwind the day with a lovely fire pit and amazing view

Felita L.

This really is a five star hotel IMO. Super clean and the staff are all wonderful! You'll fall in love with the fireplace in the lobby and the view on the 5th floor is jaw deopping. Cute bar and bistros next door too!! Do stay here if you're considering it!

TC B.

Yelp

We lived in Bell Town long ago (when we feared for dinosaur attacks) so we never stayed at the Market because we lived nearby. Since we were going to the Taste of Washington we didn't want to drive back south so we took the opportunity to stay at the Inn. Overall, I would recommend the Inn as a place to stay. Rooms are clean, staff is friendly, location is FANTASTIC, and we had an enjoyable experience. The bed was softer than I would like and the pillows way too soft for - though many like that. That's not a knock on the Inn, just a heads up! Some minor issues: We had some lights that weren't working. They weren't a big enough deal to call down and change rooms, just something to let folks know at checkout. One was the bathroom mirror light which left the bathroom slightly dark. This is a great place to spend a night or a few nights in Seattle.

A friend gave us a gift certificate to this hotel and highly recommended it, so we booked a room for this past Memorial Day weekend. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Pike Place Market. It was nice to be able to go in and out throughout the day after touring. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the rooftop lounge area on the 5th floor. At the end of the day, we sat by the fire and enjoyed the great view of the Elliot Bay waterfront on Puget Sound. The staff at the Inn were superb! Three of which I took notice, Brenda & Katie at the Front Desk, and an Asian Valet Attendant (didn't get his name). Every time we went in the lobby, he greeted us with a big smile and asked if he could be of assistance. I remember Brenda from a year ago when I booked a room (but had to cancel due to illness). She mentioned the "Sunday Funday Package" which included a discounted room rate, complimentary valet parking for Sun-Tues stay. I made a note of all the great info she provided, as well as her name. She was the nicest rep that I have ever dealt with when booking a hotel. She was so helpful and informative, and not one bit annoyed with all of my questions. I was pleasantly surprised to see her at the Front Desk and finally meet her. Katie was also there, and she kindly applied my GC, as well as accommodate our request for a late checkout. We had a fabulous stay and plan to return in the future. We will highly recommend to all of our friends and family. Our friend's recommendation was spot on, what a gem!

Love this little boutique hotel right in the middle of literally everything. Our room was spacious and clean. Everyone is very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here while in Seattle.

Gerard B.

We understand check in isn't officially until 4 pm, but at 3pm, (we've been here since noon) when I asked for some help because my wife is ill, the answer was something like...the cleaning people work according to floors and real estate, so we can't change their schedule...(I'm not making up the term real estate). In other words, doesn't matter that your 72 year old wife is sick. Tough to swallow.

We had a wonderful stay at the Inn! It was right on the market which was very convenient. Everyone was very nice, and let us check in a little early. The beds are comfy and the room was exceptionally clean. We will absolutely be staying here again on our next visit to Seattle.

The perfect location. We were able to walk the market and go back to our room so we didn't have to carry everything. The room was very clean and the service was awesome. Definitely would stay here again when in Seattle

Had a great stay night before our Alaskan cruise at the inn at the market. Perched right above Pikes market and the Seattle waterfront the inn not only delivered on location and views but on service and comfort. Nice large room with a water view, clean comfortable bed with quality sheets, mini bar with snacks and drinks and a huge bathroom with a gigantic walk in shower. Also definitely worth mentioning is a spacious rooftop padio with many gas fire pits and comfortable chairs and couches and spectacular views of the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend these accommodations.

avoid this hotel at all costs. we stayed there for four nights a month ago and they lost our suitcase. they've acknowledged the loss but we still haven't seen any compensation for our losses or any indication as to when we will! it's a shame because the hotel is ok. but incompetence combined with a lackadaisical attitude ruined it for us.

Great location, rooms and service! Howie and Katie at the front desk were very friendly and helpful! Clean rooms with exceptional views of the Puget Sound!

The service was absolutely stellar. Room was beautiful. And the location cannot be beat, basically connected to the famous Pike Place Market and central to the downtown waterfront district. They went above and beyond to mail back to me a special thermos I left there. Thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Olive R.

Yelp

Location is what makes this hotel a great place. I have been here several times, and every time is is just fantastic. The rooms are big and the beds are super comfy/fluffy. The Pike Place is just steps away. The staff is friendly and informative and they gave me great recommendations for restaurants close by. Reason for a star left out was because the walls are somewhat thin and the heaters were difficult to work with. It took sometime for the room to warm up.

Gary F.

Yelp

What a great place to stay while in Seattle for sightseeing. This hotel is located right in the market, great location. A very nice hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. Our room had both a water and city view with outstanding views. The deck /patio on the 5th floor was awesome, looks out over the market and bay. If I travel back to Seattle again I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this hotel.

Amber E.

Yelp

Still my favorite Seattle hotel. Ideal location, right by Pike place market, pretty courtyard, small, intimate hotel, comfortable rooms, some with beautiful bay views, and others with city views. The best part is the rooftop deck, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening with fire pits and a beautiful view of the pike place market neon sign, Ferris wheel, Mount Rainier and the bay. Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to everything. Just stayed 4 nights for a convention; can't wait until I get a chance to stay here again.

Janell O.

Yelp

My husband and I stayed here 9/15-17 - I selected this hotel specifically because it was located in the market and would allow us to park the car, forget about it, and walk where we wanted. Solid choice for those purposes! When we pulled up at a busy 4p, there was no valet - I had to go in to see the ladies at the front desk who summoned him. He came promptly and was very helpful. The front desk staff was helpful and gave us instruction that the hotel's doors lock at 9p and what to do to get in after they're locked... this proved to clearly be a safety measure in a city utterly plagued by homelessness. The room we had was awesome! Views of the water and the street (we lucked out w/ a corner). There was a ton of space in the bedroom area and the bathroom was stark white and bright. The frig was cold and the Keurig worked. The loss of a star comes from the absolute worst pillows ever - it seems like such a petty thing to complain of when you walk out in the early AM to homeless men on the stoops - but for a really nice hotel surely there has to be something better. If I were returning to Seattle I would 100% stay here again - this is a great choice right in the thick of the market.

Not only is this a charming, romantic hotel, but the staff is top-notch. Location, location, location! Just feet from Pike Place Market, you're in the middle of all the action. Cute courtyard area, outdoor deck with several firepits on the 6th floor, mini fridge in the room, luxurious bathrobes and the bed is heavenly comfortable - like being hugged by clouds! Valet parking was fast and efficient. The entire staff is attentive to even the smallest of details. We were in room 704 with a direct view of the market sign, the Wheel and the water. The bathroom was huge and beautiful. There's an in-room safe and some snacks for purchase. We're already trying to find a reason to have another date night in Seattle so we can stay here again!

Yelp

I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Perfectly located in pikes market, you can walk everywhere. It's on the same block at Beechers, which was heavenly because their Mac and cheese is to die for. Anyway, these hotel rooms are extremely clean and spacious. It fit our family of five wonderfully. We never heard neighbors once; the rooms are very quiet. The employees went above and beyond in helping us. We were a last minute check in due to our Airbnb falling through, and the Inn at the market workers were amazing in accommodating us; so kind and helpful...especially Spencer. He did way more than his job description that's for sure. Shout out to Spencer. We'd stay here again in no doubt.

We fell in love with a picture on Instagram @visitseattle We had seen the view and said I have to get this view I can honestly say that this has to be the best place I've ever stayed at due to it being super close to everything at pike market We got up early beat the early crowds Got to Starbucks before it opened up came back to get ready and went back out to explore the morning. It was so accommodating at times if you just wanted to rest up a bit or use the bathroom or forgot something you could easily go to the hotel and be back out in 5 min thats the main thing I loved about staying here

Rebecca S.

Yelp

The Inn is super convenient to Pikes Place- half a block down the hill. Our Room was pretty nice and the rooftop patio is fantastic! Most of our time at the hotel was spent on the roof- great views and quite a few little seating areas with fire pits. We came with another couple, both reserving the same water view rooms within hours of each other. Ours was exactly like the website pictures, while theirs was not as nice (possibly not renovated, 3rd floor) after the first night they requested a room on the 4th floor near us and were moved to a room matching ours! Our bathroom sink stopped draining at about 7pm, so one of the front desk ladies went to find a plunger and got it draining before we returned to our room. Very friendly staff, very helpful& great location. We were quite surprised at how early everything here closes up- most of the shops close by were closed by 5pm. Beds are pretty comfortable and pillows are very soft. It would have been better if there was a hot tub and a bar in the hotel. Everything within a couple blocks was closed after dinner time.

Eddie D.

Great Hotel! The staff was very friendly, and very attentive. The only downside was that there is no bar there but there are plenty of great bars in the area. Other than no bar shocker (at first) everything else was perfect. location, location, location is key... and they hold it.

Matt U.

Until this past weekend, we never really stayed at boutique hotels. We always figured that we should get points towards future stairs, regardless of the hotel chain. We had our preferences, but decided that this would be a nice time to try out something new. After I stay here, I will declare that this is the favorite hotel that I have ever stayed in, anywhere in the world! As the name would suggest, it's located in Pike Place market. We were very excited that we got to have the car valet parked, not because of what valet parking is, but rather because we were able to drive down Pine Street and legally stop in front of the Inn! Pelman service was available and they quickly took our bags inside and got our car parked. Valet parking was something like $37 per night. Ridiculous, but about 50% less than most of the other places in town, so it felt more like a deal then a pillaging. Chicken was very easy, and they quickly got us up to our room. The lobby is warm and inviting, with a fireplace, a couple of large couches, and a Starbucks coffee machine. We ended up in a room with a partial Waterview, and it was phenomenal. You can see the market below, the water in front of you, and many of the Seattle waterfront sites. We had a very nice sunrise the next morning, and when I went outside to the patio, I could see that literally everybody on the water side of the hotel was enjoying it. This also gave me insight into the fact that there is no reflective glass on the windows, to make sure you take that into consideration. Even if you're an exhibitionist, I'm not totally interested in watching you hang out in your birthday suit. The bed was very comfortable, there was extra seating within the room, a good sized TV, and a versatile bathroom with a nice shower and plenty of space for my best half to get ready! Check out time was noon, but they allowed us to extend it to 1 o'clock, which was lovely! This was far and away the most memorable stay we've had anywhere in Seattle. We started talking about how we need to try and get this room any time we come back to town and should probably do so quarterly! If you have the chance, you should go out of your way to stay here!

We stayed here 1 night over Labor Day weekend for a staycation. It's in a perfect location downtown, in the center of Pike Place Market. If you're visiting from out of town it's great! You can walk down to the market, not far from shopping or light rail and stunning views. We booked a suite and it was amazing! It was a good size, comfy and had an amazing view! We wanted to stay foreverrrrr. They have a great rooftop to hangout on! Lots of tables and space for people to hangout and catch sunrise or sunset or just to chill. You are free to bring drinks up and food. If you catch sunset go a little early to get a good seat. It was pretty full when we went 1/2 hour before sunset but we easily found a table. The staff are sooooo friendly! Both front desk and valet. Overall, I would definitely come back! It was so convenient to walk down and get coffee and piroshky in the morning and come back within minutes. Same with just getting Ellenos or Beechers for snacks. The staff were all wonderful! One star off for cleanliness in the room. There were smudges on one of the mirrors and one of the sofas had hair/dust/idk what, that definitely needed vacuumed. Other than that, it was great!

We stayed in the Beecher's Loft for my husband's birthday and had a great time. The view was FANTASTIC and it's great that it's literally in the middle of Pike Place Market. We loved having the market so close and being able to pop out here and there for treats - coffee, pastries, doughnuts, etc! They have a partnership with Sushi Kashiba where you can order dinner to be catered in the Loft. We really enjoyed that service and the food was fantastic. There's speakers throughout and music you can play, with playlists already created, which we thought was a great feature! There's a fairly large balcony with seating and a BBQ for grilling - this would be perfect in the summertime! I also love that there's an impressive fridge and range in the kitchen area. We weren't totally impressed by the facilities. For $1500 a night, I feel like everything needs to be top notch and it wasn't. It was frustrating because we couldn't open one of the trash cabinets. It's literally stuck and you have to use all your strength to pry it open/closed. The wine opener I grabbed was dirty and made my entire hand sticky. (Although it's great that they have all the plates, utensils, etc. available for your use.) I was annoyed that there's a window permanently stuck in the open position (just a crack). There were two balcony doors that don't lock - the locks are just broken. I'm usually very paranoid about safety but I checked the balcony and it didn't seem like anyone could climb up easily, so I didn't make a fuss about it. There's a window covering that's broken - the one by the bed. The entire thing falls to the floor when you try to close it and just remains crumpled on the floor. The hanging thing for the chain is broken. We're pretty sure the right hand speakers weren't working. Only the left one was playing music. There was a guest book that we wanted to sign but no pen anywhere in sight. Also no stationary - I need to write a note at one point and couldn't find anything to write on. All of these small things aren't a big deal but taken together, it just made the space seem less "luxury," especially given the price of the suite. I think they could pay a little more attention to detail. Also, there's no where to park or self-park overnight. You have to use their valet parking. It's $45/night, plus tax and tips. There's limited valet spaces - even for the Loft, you only get two spaces, one for you and one for a guest. If you have more guests than that, they have to fend for themselves, which is annoying because there's not much parking nearby and the pike place public parking is a bit far to walk, especially in the rain. Knowing all that, I don't regret renting out the space because the view and location alone were worth it. The staff were all very nice and accommodating - I corresponded with them over the course of a week to plan our event and the service was top notch.

The kind and personal experiences with this staff has been beyond compare. The entire hotel is first class and gets an A+. The roof top view is grand. A special "hats off" to Johnny, Katy, Holly, Nina and Eric.

We spent a night here for our anniversary celebration. The location is so ideal if you are visiting seattle. Tucked away in a cute little courtyard, right next to the market and close to the shopping centers; though sadly a lot of the shops seem to be closing. Check in is at 4, which is very late in my opinion BUT they allowed us to do a pre-check in and took our luggage. They also have a valet service so they took and parked our car which is great. We went for a walk and to grab lunch and they said they will call us when the room is ready. I was hoping to have a room with water view but ended up with a room with the courtyard view. Disappointing but it was still very cute. They had some sanitizing wipes available at the room which was great. Large bathroom with a large shower. The bed was super comfortable but the pillows not so much, I wish they were a little firmer or at least have a couple of firm pillows (there were 4 pillows on the bed). For a luxury hotel there was surprisingly not a lot of art around. They had a small fridge in the room as well. All and all a good experience and can't beat the location.

I don't know why this place would not get 5 stars (or 500!). While the ambiance is fairly basic (although I have heard they switch up the theme/decor often), the LOCATION and VIEWS are OUTSTANDING! We had a water view facing the market, Ferris wheel, mountains, and port. It was literally the most amazing hotel I have EVER stayed at for the views. Despite not having a restaurant attached and being expensive this hotel offers everything you would want as a tourist staying downtown Seattle. Perks: LOCATION, VIEWS, CLEAN, DECOR (basic but super comfy and spacious), STAFF (so friendly and accommodating- you can tell they enjoy working here), LOCATION, VIEWS, they offer a $15 daily pass to the nearby gym (Seattle Athletic club which I have also reviews- 5 STARS HERE AS WELL), LOCATION, VIEWS, valet, complimentary Kerug, coffee, tea, mini fridge, LOCATION and did I mention... VIEWS? Tips: EXPENSIVE (was a little disappointing when I called the first time the woman quoted me the same price for all 4 nights including NYE; however when going to book found she had mis-quoted me and the price had doubled in price for that one night...) We ended up moving hotels on NYE for this reason... pretty bummed out and wish they would have honored the original price that was quoted. That being said, the price is WELL WORTH IT to stay here any other time. Bring your own extra Kerug cups if you want coffee in your room- they charge for additional cups at $2 a pop (and they only give you two regular and two decaf). No connecting restaurant although they do offer packages with some of the restaurants in the courtyard (gift cards, etc.) We were located on the 7th floor and our water view room was excellent... I would make sure to get a room higher up so that you are not right at the rooftop deck level (not sure if there are even rooms right there but I would not be happy if I had to keep my curtains shut so people on the deck wouldn't see me!) My hubs and I give The Inn at the Market 500 stars for sure... and I will definitly be staying here many more times on our stay-cations in Seattle. One of my bucket list items was to get up and be able to go right down the Pike Place and grab coffee and b-fast before the crowds come... and that is EXACTLY what I got to do. It was SO amazing to stay here and I truly cannot wait to return. Thank you for making our much needed stay-cation an awesome experience :):):):)

The valet: I wish I knew their names, but the parking valet (a younger gentleman) took care of our bags and car, he wouldn't let us carry anything to the room, and just a real pleasure to speak with, well all of them were, even when we left, they were very attentive and nice, one very pleasant gentleman stood there and chatted with us while we waited for our car! Inn at the Market's hotel valet team is on point. The check in desk: Wow, our concert stared early, we were very concerned about having enough time to get ready and make it on time, she saw that, she said our room wasn't ready yet but worked her magic and got us into a beautiful room that was, we were able to get all dressed up and make it to the concert on time! Check in staff, also on point and a pleasure to work with. The room: Where to begin, beautiful room, big windows, spectacular views, big bathroom with a giant awesome shower, big comfortable bed, and a cleanliness that is absolutely second to none, this room was clean like a showroom! My wife and I live local to the north, we have stayed at several nice downtown hotels mostly for musicals, and Inn at the Market is hands down our new favorite one. Oh, last thoughts, safe, it felt safe, we got back late and went back out for some food and a drink, just walking around that area in the middle of the night with my wife felt safe, we saw multiple security officers just roaming the streets, it was cool. I hope this gets out there for anyone deciding where to stay, we loved it and will be back.

I loved these guys! Our first hotel had an issue with a reservation which they said I didn't have some days booked. I found these guys and was able to book super last minute. First and foremost the staff was incredibly sweet. The front desk ladies are amazing. When we booked the booking wasn't showing up and it was the last room available. One of the ladies was able to find the reservation for cheaper AND got us booked ASAP and cancelled the old reservation with no issues. As for the hotel itself it's super cool. You're pretty much in front of the market and near the water. The hotel has a roof top that also has a beautiful view of the water and the market. Around you are some cool shopping places and you're also 5 min walk from pike place chowder. The area is also super nice and you're able to walk around alone with not much hassle especially if you're a woman by yourself. The room itself was also nice and we got a view of the city which also was pretty nice.

Located steps away from the main Pike Place market, this hotel was the perfect choice to explore all the shops and eateries. The 5th floor balcony for hotel guests offered a great view of the sunset and the fire pit was cozy. We had a partial water view room and it was spacious. One thing to note is that there's no window tint or privacy glass -- we can see into our room very clearly from the street. Also the windows are not good at blocking street sounds at night and the 5th floor was low enough that the sound carried up. If you are a light sleeper I would ask for a room located on a higher floor (there are 8 floors). Front desk was nice and pleasant and so were the valet team. I would stay here again.

This is an amazing hotel right on Pike Place. Book the full water view. Amazing! They have a rooftop on the 5th floor equipped with chairs and gas fire pits overlooking the water. Staff are helpful and professional.

I have been spoiled, and perhaps I will have to limit my trips to Seattle. No other hotel will compare to the Inn at the Market, and I won't always be willing to spend the money necessary to stay at the Inn. My expectations have been raised beyond repair. The Inn At the Market is the optimum urban boutique hotel. Located steps from the Pike Market, the Inn is in a perfect location for visitors to Seattle. We had the cheapest room, facing the street. However, it was large, decorated in a modern, almost Scandinavia manner, and everything was designed well for the 21st century traveler. Bathrooms are huge and wonderfully sumptuous. Water pressure is strong and towels thick. My only criticism would be the lack of storage in the rooms, a common fallacy in most hotel rooms. Housekeeping was excellent, with nightly turn down service. Coffee makers are kindly placed in your room, and the people who work at the Inn are warm and helpful. The fifth floor has a lovely deck with gorgeous views overlooking the San Juan Islands. Look at my photos. The Inn at the Market is just wonderful, but alas, like most fantastic things, it costs big bucks. You get what you pay for, but how much could I save by staying at a cheaper hotel? A lot, and that savings can pay for a gourmet meal, a leather bag, airfare for another trip to Seattle. It's a matter of priorities, but the Inn at the Market is a fabulous hostelry and worthy of an occasional splurge.

I love this hotel because you cannot beat the location, it's basically IN Pike Place Marker, which is my favorite place in Seattle. The service is great. Our room was always clean whenever we returned from being out. We loved our water view parlor suite!! Amazing views of the market and the water from every room, super spacious, and comfortable. The hotel is also quiet at night since the market shuts down around 7 and it's not really close to nightlife (which is perfect for what I'm looking for). Would definitely stay here again, it's my new fave hotel in Seattle!

Perfect location so you can walk everywhere. Only 4 stars because we can hear housekeeping carts rolling through the hallways before 7 am, hear the people walking like elephants above us, no fitness center and no exercise equipment to rent and lastly the wifi is horrible. Wifi kicks you off every 8-12 hours. Room card says we have access to Seattle Athletic Club which is in fact wrong.

There is nothing negative to say about this Hotel, this was an amazing place , the staff the valet folks housekeepong I mean all the employees were super friendly. I would give this place a 10 star if I could, it would have been nice if there was a reastaurant or even small snack shop but the location is perfect close to anytjing you need so that makes up for it. It's very close to the market place. I was there day after Thanksgiving with some friends and all of us were completely satisfied we had 3 rooms. The deck is just amazing with the fire pit and amazing view. The deck is located on the 5th floor.

The hotel location is perfect. It's so close to everything we wanted to visit. The bathroom was big and spacious. The bed comfy. We loved going out on the roof top everyday we were there :).

Inn at the Market - 5 Stars: really liked this place. It is the closest (read about 100 feet from) hotel near the Pike Place Market. So if you are in town to visit the Market, you do not need a car...just stay here and walk. This location was walking distance to the Market and the Art Museum and many other things. It is a bit too far for some to reach the CenturyLink football or Safeco Field baseball stadiums on foot (maybe a mile and a half) or the Space Needle (maybe a mile)...but a quick cab ride or light rail train ride get you there fast. Great location and very nice accommodations. Very nice bathroom amenities. The Inn also had a 5th Floor rooftop deck where one can go and watch the sunset...it overlooks the Public Market and waterfront of Elliott Bay (see picture from rooftop) and is available all day. The smart people grabbed a bottle of wine and came up here to relax in the evening...totally cool. The Inn is attached to two restaurants: Bacco where peeps can get breakfast all day, and Café Campagne which is a French bistro for all day meals. All-in-all...highly recommended.

We stayed here for the weekend of our wedding and it was magical! We're both from Seattle and have been to Pike Place dozens of times, but it was so much fun staying there! It was so close to so much amazing food and fun activities! The employees were also all great! They left us some treats after they found out it was our wedding. I think we will be staying here every year for our anniversary.
