The State Hotel

The hotel is located in a fabulous walkable area. There are lots of restaurants within walking and many activities. The Pier is located right behind the hotel and the views are amazing! The hotel is well appointed, clean and the staff was fabulous! The Ben Paris eatery was also great!

This was a great little boutique hotel within minutes of walking to Pikes Market. It was clean and the staff was very nice. It has a nice small lobby area and a fantastic restaurant attached to it in the lobby. The bed was very comfortable. If we had one suggestion, it would be for a better coffee situation in the room. Maybe a Keurig with pods instead of a cheap plastic thing that made lousy coffee. We had to dress and go to lobby for coffee where they did have fresh free coffee (a little weak but we like strong coffee). But that was minor compared to how nice everything else was. Id stay here again when in Seattle.

The biggest strength of this hotel is its location. It is incredibly convenient for exploring Seattle, with Pike Place Market, the waterfront, restaurants, shops, ferries, and sightseeing cruises all within easy walking distance. If your priority is being able to walk out of your hotel and immediately experience the city, the location is hard to beat. Our check-in experience was also excellent. Unfortunately, I don’t remember her name, but the young Black woman who checked us in was exceptionally professional, courteous, and welcoming. She took the time to give us helpful recommendations and tips for our visit, and her service was one of the highlights of our stay. That said, I think there are areas where the experience could better reflect the hotel’s price point. We booked a Bay View room, and while the view itself was nice, the room felt somewhat small for the category. The portrait-style window also limited how much we could actually enjoy the view unless we were standing directly in front of it. For a room marketed and priced around the view, I expected the design to showcase it more effectively. The food and beverage experience was another area that fell short. Brunch was disappointing in both flavor and execution relative to the price. The bar experience was similar. At premium cocktail prices, I expected a stronger mixology program and greater consistency with classic cocktails. Even a basic Old Fashioned lacked the balance and execution I would expect at this level. Overall, I would recommend the hotel primarily for its excellent location, walkability, and convenient access to Seattle’s waterfront attractions. The staff member who welcomed us was wonderful, and the location made exploring the city extremely easy. However, for the overall value to match the premium price point, I believe the room experience, dining quality, and bar program could use some refinement.

Great hotel located right in the heart of Pike Place. We were able to walk to the waterfront and lots of amenities (restaurants, museums, aquarium, etc). Cute rooftop also! Our room was a corner room and laid out nicely. We’d definitely stay here again.

The staff at this hotel is incredible. First Nadir, who was professional, knowledable, and compassionate as it took us 14 hours to get there and he made sure our room was not cancelled. Dove, who was just as professional and kind. They made you feel so welcomed each time they saw you and were attentive to all your needs. After speaking with Anne,(area manager) I realized that it starts from the top down and her staff couldn't have been nicer. Hotel is kept very nice and the Ben Paris restaurant was wonderful and their staff was just as nice. Highly recommend this hotel.
