Oyster Hotel Review

Executive Inn by the Space Needle

Scene

Chain hotel with a common area that's wide open, bright, and welcoming

Spacious and flooded with natural light from a wall of windows, the lobby at the Executive Inn is inviting and cozy, decorated with traditional furnishings in light neutral tones and touches of sage green, gold, and scarlet. The large, long reception desk is built from wood and marble and is located right next to the main entrance. A generous seating area right across from the front desk offers tables, chairs, sofas, and an attractive stone fireplace. Many of the guests are business travelers, though families and couples also use the hotel as a budget-friendly base for exploring Seattle.

Location

Right across from the Space Needle and near array of popular attractions

Located on a busy main road, right across from the EMP Museum and Space Needle, the Executive Inn has a central, convenient location. Guests are within walking distance to a number of Seattle’s most popular attractions, including the Pike Place Market, McCaw Hall, the Monorail, and KeyArena. Other attractions like Safeco Field, Pier 91, and the Woodland Park Zoo are only a few miles away and can be accessed easily by car or public transportation. The area is busy but safe and very walkable, though it can be noisy at times and there are some unattractive areas. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a bit more than 20 minutes south by car.

Rooms

Basic, clean spaces, some with views of city

Travelers familiar with the BEST WESTERN PLUS brand will find the clean, comfortable rooms that they’ve come to expect. Rooms are decorated simply, with warm brown carpets, light wooden furniture, stark white bedding, and touches of green and gold. Standard rooms are available with one king bed or two queen beds and include a microwave, refrigerator, small desk, coffeemaker, and safe as well as free Wi-Fi. Executive King rooms are also available and offer significantly more space, including a separate seating area and larger bathroom. Rooms on the west side of the building offer views of the Space Needle but can require a small upgrade fee, while rooms on the upper levels are quieter.

Features

Limited amenities, though significant space for special events and large 24-hour gym  

This fairly small property doesn't offer as many features as some of the more expensive nearby hotels, but in keeping with the Best Western brand it does provide a few convenient amenities for guests. A large 24-hour fitness center has free weights as well as cardio equipment, and a small business center includes computers, printers, and fax services. The property also provides a large conference center, with both meeting rooms and ballrooms to suit many types of functions. While the Executive Inn does not offer free breakfast, the on-site restaurant Brella’s features casual dining and an inexpensive breakfast buffet. Coin-operated guest laundry facilities are on-site, and parking is available for a nightly fee. Wi-Fi is free and fast throughout the hotel.
