AMC Loews Factoria 8 Tours

Quiet and very comfortable soft queen bed in a spacious room. Only 4 out of 5 stars because the hotel did not have electric charging. Odd for a resort like the Emerald.

Superb staff, clean, but small, room. Comfy bed. Excellent location for experiencing downtown Seattle. Lots of amenities. When we first approached the hotel I have to admit that I was more than a bit apprehensive- lots of unhoused people very near the property. However, it didn’t take long to see that the unhoused were even in the highest scale downtown locations. They are a big part of downtown Seattle. The Belltown Inn has a night security guard & there is a strong police presence downtown so we felt very safe. I only mention this to prepare new visitors. Don’t let this cause you to shy away from staying at this great hotel. That said, the location is absolutely perfect for walking to all major downtown attractions, restaurants, the piers, the Space Needle. The Belltown Inn has a fantastic rooftop seating area to enjoy food/beverages. They even have loaner bikes & a nice, big gathering table in their lobby. I would absolutely stay here again & would recommend it to friends & family. A helpful tip: if driving a vehicle, pull up in the unloading space right in front of the hotel (it says 3 mins., but you can stay long enough to check in and unload baggage). I recommend buying the daily parking permit for the lot across the street diagonally from the hotel. This will allow you to pull in & out as often as needed & there was always sufficient space. I saw parking personnel there frequently which made me feel a little better, but make sure you leave nothing in your vehicle.

No desks in the room, you have to go to the lobby to do work. On the first morning, the water did not get warm, not ice cold but still a bit jarring - not sure if they think that a Polar Bear shower is a feature? Pity, as it’s a beautiful and well maintained property.
