The Edgewater Hotel

Very tired hotel with no dining room for breakfast. Halls are dark and depressing. Our upgrade included a room with a view of the docks. Do not stay here.

One of my favorite Seattle area hotels. Vintage almost log cabin style vibes. Gives off almost a dark and moody feel mixed with romance. Deep reds and dark woods. Artfully luxurious. Bathrooms have a nice spa style with classic finishes. Claw foot tubs (in some rooms) and luxury spa showers. Generally one of the higher priced properties in the area so if you’re going to spend the money make sure to get a room over the water. Staff was friendly and helpful. My third party booking site one of my stays didn’t pay so I was charged twice then when it was sorted out the hotel worked with them and it all worked out. My room category was upgraded free of charge on my most recent stay. The common areas overlook the water in a way that no other property can do in Seattle. On site restaurant provides direct over water views. Generally hard to find good deals as far as similar pricing goes to other hotels in the area. If all things were the same and I could find a way to make it more budget friendly I’d choose the Edgewater for most of my Seattle stays. 4 to 4.5 star property if you’re ready to ditch the tech and modern style for the Edgewater’s laid back relaxing vintage vibes.

Gorgeous views and warm, fireplace-equipped rooms — the setting delivers. The drawbacks: no weekday breakfast, limited alternatives nearby, an overpriced weekend breakfast service, and staff that lack the warmth you'd expect at this level.

Main issue is that due to declining customers, management has permanently closed the restaurant for breakfast and instead wants you to order room service and eat in your room. What’s the point of staying at Edgewater if you have to eat in your room? The nearest sit down breakfast option is the Hilton Hotel, located just a short walk away. It has a lovely full service dining room and great amenities. Now that we’ve been forced to check it out we will probably stay there on our next visit. The restaurant closure is going to backfire on the Edgewater, a very shortsighted cost saving measure. Also, our check-in clerk was an unhelpful young man wearing a face mask who wouldn’t make eye contact and barely spoke. Assigned us wrong room (2 single beds) which we discovered after long hike to very end of hall on 3rd floor. Returned and asked for large bed suitable for a couple and a water view room. After another long hike, discovered he had failed to give us a water view. We gave up in frustration.

The room, view and location were all that I’d hoped for. I’ve wanted to stay here since I was a little girl! One big disappointment though. We rushed down in the morning ready for a beautiful breakfast over the water. We had a $60 voucher for breakfast through our credit card. On arrival to the dining room we were told they only open on Saturday and Sunday now. We were told to eat in the gift shop so had lattes and breakfast burritos. The food was good and the employees so nice, but we expected a full service breakfast and were greatly disappointed.

Our stay was fabulous! Would highly recommend this hotel. Staff were great, food was delicious, and the view is unbeatable! Beds were really comfy too.

Location is amazing! On the water. Great staff. Am disappointed that breakfast at the restaurant is only on Saturday and Sunday! It’s such a great space. Hope breakfast at the restaurant is offered everyday soon.

Places that you visit that are considered a destination require a combination of unique pieces. A raison d'etre so to speak. I would say that once upon a time the Edgewater hotel had that. Beautiful views with a scrumptious breakfast where you could enjoy the cascading dalliance of the first hints of sunlight dipping on the gossamer feathers of the heron in the distance. Now, now you get the standard hotel with no real reason to treat it as the adventure. Why would I come here to just sleep in the room and then have to go find breakfast in the city? I want a get away, not another stop. I have previously enjoyed eating here and staying here, but now I won't do either. A world class hotel has a first class breakfast, a destination hotel has a wonderful breakfast, a Holiday Inn has a breakfast. The Edgewater Motel, has... no breakfast. Give me a break, if you're cutting costs by removing breakfast service, get out of here. In conclusion, save yourself some time and rethink the destination. Bring back breakfast and Bring back the Super Sonics!

This hotel has the absolute best waterfront location and its staff are top notch. The hotel’s location is walking distance to all attractions. Our junior suite was perfect for our celebration. Room was super clean and the fireplace was the perfect added touch. It would go on throughout the night as room temps dipped and made for a glorious glow. The balcony was well appointed with Adirondack chairs where you can have some wine while watching the ferry boats and skyline, especially the Ferris wheel when it is lit up at night. Restaurant food was delicious and the bar was always full with hotel guests and visitors because of its water view and great service and cocktails. The Edgewater is THE place to stay when you visit waterfront Seattle, nothing compares to it and it’s amazing staff.

My overall stay was neither good nor bad. I’m a wheelchair user, and the elevator was broken when we arrived, with no notification until the following day. A few staff members seemed more attentive to able‑bodied guests than to those of us with disabilities, which was disappointing. The only people who were genuinely helpful during my visit were my friend, the valet staff, and the gift shop staff. I paid for a balcony waterfront suite, which was beautiful, but the series of issues with the hotel and front desk staff made the experience far less enjoyable than it should have been.
