"New Year’s Fun"

This hotel is conveniently located. Easy walk to Pike Place Market or shopping - Nordstrom etc. The restaurant Ben Paris is wonderful for both breakfast and dinner. The hotel employed a guest photographer, with props, for New Year’s Eve fun which was a great touch. The rooms are well appointed but not large. The staff was welcoming.

A centrally located hotel in downtown Seattle, without the fuzz and posh that go with the really high-class, and accordingly expensive, hotels, but with a standard, atmosphere and nice staff that makes the stay worth its while.

Great downtown location. Welcoming staff and beautiful entry made arriving a lovely experience. Room is spacious and comfortable and bathroom is huge and spotless. Peekaboo views of Elliott Bay and Pike Place Market from the room and elevator lobby are gorgeous. Affiliated restaurant, Ben Paris, is wonderful - great menu, good service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Just left The State Hotel after a great Christmas week stay. The staff is very friendly and down to earth, the hotel has a comfortable lobby that feels like home, location can’t be beat as it’s steps from Pike Place and other Seattle attractions including the ferry and Space Needle and Ben Paris restaurant was wonderful too. We had a 3. Course Prime Rib Christmas Eve dinner there that couldn’t be beat. I didn’t think the room felt small - at least 817 didn’t - and it had coffee, refrigerator, hair dryer and a beautiful water view.
