Guests generally appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds at this hotel. The pineapple theme and free drinks are also popular. However, some guests find the hotel to be a bit expensive, and there are complaints about noise from traffic and other guests. Additionally, some guests are unhappy about unexpected fees, such as a $23 per night charge for amenities like WiFi and coffee.

    I loved the "pet supply", so thoughtful! The slogan "not just pet friendly but pet obsessed" is really true! The beds are always great, the free water (also sparkling ) is an extra perk, and the location in the U-District was very central to visit my son.

    My daughter and I ended up booking a room here for a few nights after the VRBO we got was terribly dirty. The reservation was Super last minute (15 mins before we arrived at the hotel) - but staff and everything about our stay were wonderful! The cafe was also super helpful the morning we left. Highly recommend!

    My only complaint was the elevator broke and when we got home we had to climb 5 flights, and I have a bad knee. Too bad they did not have another set of elevators. The other concern was when I got the bill they charged me $24.95 for Guest Amenity Fee. I asked what that was and I guess it is for Bike lock,endless coffee,and the water bottle they give you in the room that says Free! Interesting. Overall it was a great experience!

    This was a last minute booking and a little more money than I'd normally spend but it was worth ever penny! I accidentally turned into their garage which required your hotel key card to enter. I couldn't back out because someone came behind me so I pushed the call button. The gentleman at the front desk took care of it, only asked my last name and then opened the gate so I could park. So friendly. The room was not only clean but FUN! They had all these little personal touches all over that made it such a joy to stay there. Oversized towels, bottle of complimentary water, vouchers for free beverages, bath robes. And when we asked if we could have an extra blanket, it was brought up immediately. Loved it and would definitely stay there again!

    The road construction was difficult to find with one way directions. Parking lot was challenging to identify and was gated which made check in stressful at night. Faucet and water shower did not work well, faucet and handle need to be replaced. We booked two nights but changed to one night. We are monthly travelers and stayed at many hotels.

    I rarely have much good to say about a hotel stay, but this stay really exceeded my expectations. My first stay at a Staypineapple, I was blown away by how dog friendly they are. Even the front desk said they are "dog obsessed". Parking here is abundant and convenient for only $25. The rooms are stoic but perfectly functional. The coffee machines in the room is the best I have experienced anywhere. All around, a great stay!

    I truly enjoyed the special little touches that made this property unique; from the funky themed decor, to the super cool coffee maker and liquid creamer in the fridge… we thoroughly enjoyed our night here. The only things I would have changed were 1) I wish we could have stayed a second night, and 2) I didn’t know the parking garage was a dead-end. I went all the way to the bottom and had to do a 4-point turn to turn around to get back out. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and our stay was great.

    No breakfast included but there’s a CB offer shop off the lobby and a great breakfast place 1.5 blocks south - a 3 minute walk. Beautiful rooms - we’ve stayed in several. The most comfortable beds co in any hotel ever. The TV remote needs attention. I forgot to mention that to staff.

    Clean room. Easy access to UW. Didn’t really need amenities provided so charges for them seem extra. Felt for parents entering room to stuffed Husky because how do you get out of that $25 once the child sees? Staff at coffee bar seemed self possessed. Not bad customer service but entitled and service seemed an afterthought to their current drama. Front desk seemed unable to provide options for dining that didn’t lead to campus experience. All in all good.

    Perfectly in keeping with an average hotel at this price point. The staff were friendly. Parking was available. A bit tight to make the initial turn at the bottom of the ramp, but it had a spot for larger vehicles. My only warning: the heater unit beneath the window was a bit loud (within reason and I slept OK), but if you like a soundless sleep environment, bring earplugs. The bed was comfy enough. Shower pressure was just OK (they regulate pressure), but the temperature was constant. Generous counter space was appreciated. The room did not smell. Check-in and out were efficient. So decent enough for an "overnighter."

    I enjoyed my stay so much I do plan on coming again. I like finding hotels within walking distance from local theaters and this hotel is close to the Neptune Theatre here in Seattle. Parking for the hotel is under it so there was no parking in a separate location. There was road construction at the time of my stay and it was very confusing on what to do and where to go but after pulling over and calling the front desk they were able to guide me in to there location smoothly. The entire staff was friendly and very helpful. The room was huge and rather stately. Took a nice hot soaking bath after the show and relaxed in my king size bed reading. The layout of the room gave it the feeling of being larger. The view out the window was of life but I wasn’t there for the view. My overall experience was extremely positive. 🤗

    Always nice and clean and smells wonderful. My only two complaints are; The TV is way too small. We were watching a movie with subtitles and could not even read them. Maybe the TV should be mounted above the wetter sink on that wall. Just something with a little more size. Also, the shower nozzle is horrible. It is such a narrow spray pattern and it is hard to get totally comfortable in the shower as it always seems like you have to keep turning to get hot water on the other side of your body. Honesty, we love staying there and these things are just suggestions

    Parking was great, as were room amenities and space. My only complaint would be noise. We could hear every step from the people above us. But, is in older building, there isn't much they can do to stop that.

    The location is ideal for me. The Light Rail station nearby is a great advantage compared to when I lived in the area for years. There are many things to do in the U District and it is a walker's delight. Parking at the hotel is very good although it comes at a price. The room was spacious and clean and had everything I needed. The duvet bed covers worked well for me. The staff was friendly and helpful. I liked everything about the Watertown Hotel and hope to stay there again.

    It’s clean, comfortable and the staff is friendly and very welcoming. They really put extra fun little touches all around. Their Do Not Disturb sign says “I’m Naked Go Away”. The bottle of water in our room was metal and they offered a water station in the lobby. Even the extra roll of toilet paper was wrapped like a pineapple. There was a stuffed animal in the room that you could “adopt” for $25 that goes to an animal shelter. We were there for my son’s surgery and they waived the parking fee. When you’re stressed out an act of kindness can go a long way. I definitely would stay there again.

    The room was totally bare-bones: tiny, half carpeted, half tiled, with one single desk chair. They must not think that people actually want to relax after dealing with the city! Their amenities were nice: a steel water bottle, and sparkling, still, or hot water to fill it; two coupons for glasses of wine (in a can); and pineapple-decorated cookies. I’d rather have had a comfortable bed and places to sit!

    It was not bad, and generally good. The rooms are a bit older, and on the smaller side and don't have any area to sit. There is a "resort fee", which is a standard charge nowadays and also a parking fee - kind of irritating a bit since they should just add it to the rate. The only benefit with this resort fee is that they offer a free water filling station in the lobby. Wish it had a kitchenette, which would be more useful, but maybe next time I think I might check out Residence Inn for a similar price.

    We’ve stayed here twice as it’s close to UW Montlake Hospital. Hotel is boutique size which we love. Easy to get in and out. Staff is very friendly. Parking is an extra $25/day in the underground garage. Towels are plush which is a very nice touch. But pillows are flat. No full service restaurant but small walk up coffee cafe in the morning. Will be back.

    There is an undisclosed "amenity fee" of $28 that is supposed to cover two "free" drinks, internet, coffee, etc. Well, the internet didn't work, and they didn't have coffee ready in the lobby when I checked out. The hotel tries hard to get you to check yourself in online so they can eliminate front desk staff. I don't mind that if they pass on the savings.

    My boys and I had a great visit to the Seattle area! I really liked the location due to its affordability vs. DT Seattle. We used the Lightrail that was just a few (walking) blocks away and we did a kayaking excursion that was outside of the city but only a 20 min. Uber drive from the hotel. We also found a terrific pizza place w/NY & Chicago style pizza within walking distance. We also liked and took advantage of the onsite cafe for quick breakfast items. I would highly recommend this hotel!!

    My friend and I are from Vancouver, BC and took the bus to Seattle, arrived way earlier than check-in time so the staff let us leave out belongings at the hotel so we could tour around the city hassle-free. We checked in an hour earlier and the room was great! Really clean and we loved the pineapple-themed room which was adorable. The room was actually pretty bigger than the usual double bed room from pricier hotels which was amazing. The area feels safe as well and we love how it was close to restaurants and the train.
