Westside Sanctuary

Hotel Description

Nestled in the charming neighborhood of West Seattle, the Westside Sanctuary is a welcoming 3-star hotel that offers guests a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Located in the peaceful 98116 zip code area, this thoughtfully designed property serves as an ideal base for exploring both the laid-back atmosphere of West Seattle and the vibrant energy of downtown Seattle just across the water. With a solid guest rating of 7.3, the Westside Sanctuary has established itself as a reliable choice for travelers seeking quality accommodations at a reasonable price point. The hotel’s name perfectly captures its essence – a peaceful retreat on the western side of Seattle, away from the hustle and bustle yet still connected to all the city has to offer.

The Westside Sanctuary’s location in West Seattle provides guests with a distinctive Seattle experience that many visitors miss. This peninsula community offers stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, with Alki Beach just a short distance away – perfect for morning walks along the water or watching spectacular sunsets over the mountain range. The hotel is conveniently positioned near the West Seattle Junction, a vibrant district filled with local shops, cozy cafes, and diverse dining options ranging from casual eateries to fine restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Lincoln Park, a 135-acre green space featuring forested trails, beach access, and the heated Colman Pool during summer months. For those looking to explore Seattle’s famous attractions, the hotel’s location provides easy access to the West Seattle Water Taxi, which offers a scenic 15-minute boat ride directly to downtown, where Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and other iconic landmarks await. While technically not in Bellevue (which is located east of Seattle across Lake Washington), guests can easily reach this upscale city and its premium shopping destinations like Bellevue Square via the I-90 bridge in approximately 25-30 minutes, making day trips entirely feasible.

The Westside Sanctuary embodies the relaxed, community-oriented spirit that West Seattle is known for. The 3-star property strikes a pleasant balance between affordability and comfort, providing travelers with a genuine local experience rather than a generic hotel stay. Guest rooms are designed with functionality and comfort in mind, offering all the essential amenities needed for a restful stay after a day of exploration. The hotel’s 7.3 rating reflects its consistent service quality and value proposition – guests particularly appreciate the friendly staff who are known for their knowledge of local recommendations and attractions off the typical tourist path. Whether you’re visiting Seattle for business or pleasure, the Westside Sanctuary offers a distinctive alternative to downtown accommodations, allowing guests to experience the authentic neighborhood character that makes Seattle such a beloved destination. From the spectacular water and mountain views to the nearby cultural spots and outdoor recreation opportunities, the hotel’s West Seattle location provides a multifaceted Seattle experience that combines urban convenience with a more relaxed, residential atmosphere.

Reviews

• Carmelcoasttraveler from United States – 2 May 2024 (9/10)

  House was perfect for multigenerational, all-adult (& two dogs) family. We loved the game room, large dining table where all of us fit, spacious kitchen, and fenced, beautifully landscaped property. Location excellent. Close to good restaurants, and shore. We would highly recommend this rental to others.
  
  What could be improved: Just a couple of things. The mattress on the queen size fold out bed in the living room needs to be replaced and fitted with proper sheets. We could have used kitchen dish towels and some soaps. Trash compactor step on bar is broken and presents a hazard. Two of us bruised our toes on it. Turn down the temperature of the hot water at kitchen sink.

  La ubicación y la casa es muy bonita.
  
  What could be improved: Sábanas sucias, como qué no las habían cambiado.
