We love staying at Hilton Embassy Unfortunately we were charged an early check in fee (even though we are silver (almost gold) Hilton members). We arrived at midday and this really should be complementary of the room is available. We have 2 young children. It just leaves a little bit of a sour taste. Evening reception and breakfast were both amazing. Special shout out to the boys on the omelette station for the amazing omelettes and great attitudes!

This hotel is practically inside the train station, but without the noisy racket. It's a 1 minute walk from the hotel to the train station, and it makes navigation very fast and easy. The rooms are great! There's a fun gym and swimming pool on the 8 th for for guests only. The bonus is the 13 Coins Restaurant at the grand reception room. They prepared excellent food for us! You have GOT to stay at the Embassy Suites at this unique location. It'll make life so much easier for you. Plus a free breakfast that can't be beat.

This is not your typical Embassy Suites! It is new and modern and so nice! The people at the front desk were nice and helpful. We had a beautiful corner room that offered so many windows. We actually arrived on the Amtrak train and this hotel is literally right there, so convenient. It is also very close to the stadium so if you are attending a game you can't get a much better place then this to walk to the stadium. It is just a short walk to where you can catch the Ferrys or walk around downtown and Pioneer Square. Breakfast is also a big bonus. You can order eggs cooked your way or an omelette - the cook did a great job on our eggs every morning. And then they offer waffles, pastries, cereal, bacon, sausage, pancakes, coffee, juice. It is a good breakfast. Don't forget Happy Hour at 5:00pm,! They offer snacks and you get 2 drinks on the house! And they still have housekeeping every day!! This is nice because many hotels are doing every other day or two. So I really appreciated this. Nothing better then coming back to the room after a long day out and having your bed made up nice and neat.

We were only here for a one night stay. Excellent walking distance to train station or lumen field. Parking garage had plenty of parking but we were there on a no game weekend. Staff were friendly. Evening snack and cocktails were a nice treat. They had trail mixes, chips and salsa, cheese, fruit and an array of drinks. The gym was very large and looked updated and clean. Lots of equipment. Pool was very clean. Pool is warm. Hot tub is slightly warmer than pool. Lots of towels and seating. Very large hot tub. Nice outdoor deck with good views. Room was huge and had plenty of space for a family. Very clean. Large breakfast buffet with a station for made to order omelets very good! Everything was well cleaned and maintained. Did not go to the restaurant in the hotel 13 coins. Beds were very comfortable. Only negative was the elevators smelled like urine.

Embassy Suites! We stayed here with our children and they had a blast. The hotel is incredibly family-friendly, from the spacious rooms to the great pool area. It’s a relief to find a place where the kids feel so welcome and entertained. The breakfast options were excellent and saved us so much time in the morning. We will definitely be back for our next family trip!"

No benefits for diamond members here besides a couple hershey bars... No upgrades or late checkout were available for Diamond either. Gym was spacious and nice, but is missing basic necessities like mats to stretch or do exercises on. 1st floor bathroom is locked down and a hassle to use if you need it. No complaints otherwise, it’s clean and in a perfect location.

I wanted to spoil my husband for his birthday and this place knocked it out of the park. The gym, the pool has great views, I was impressed by the pool furniture. The whole place is a vibe. We had a corner room and the views were amazing there also. If you want upscale this is your place. Even the restaurant downstairs had a decent menu and those swivel leather chairs my four year old loved sitting in those. Overall such a great trip for me and my family.

This is an amazing hotel! The rooms and beds were more than expected. We went to the hot tub and staff were very helpful and professional. Jack from maintenance gave us a lot of good info and things to do and even wrote them down, that is honestly going above and beyond as he genuinely wanted us to have a great time in Seattle. I will be back at this hotel in the future.
