Seattle Gaslight Inn

This beautiful Craftsman has been turned into a welcoming space with spacious guest rooms, suitable for a long stay. We were there for ten days and enjoyed our stay, and if you like staying in places with character, you probably will too. Rooms have wardrobes and chests of drawers, and we were able to fully unpack our suitcases and had room to stow them. As is often the case in repurposed old homes, bathrooms have showers only and are on the small side. In the dining room, there is coffee and tea service, several flavors of yogurt, and other snacks for a light breakfast, and Bakery Nouveau that is a few blocks away makes splendid pastries. We enjoyed starting the day in the bright, prettily decorated dining room. Those arriving by car should know that there is no on-site parking, and you may have to unload and park a few blocks away. The hotel issues parking passes that allow you to ignore the restricted times, and if you have a standard size vehicle you probably will have no problem. We had a full-size SUV but still had no problem except for one evening, when I had to look for a while. The neighborhood is generally quiet but has restaurants and eclectic shopping within a few blocks, and public transit goes direct from Downtown and the ferry terminal to a nearby bus stop. I'm not going to bother to rent a car next time, since this is a transit-friendly city and I would have saved money by using Lyft. Those with allergies should know that there is a resident cat - we never saw him above the first floor or in any guest rooms, though. All in all, our stay was very good and we will return.

Had a lovely stay at the Gaslight Inn, Ryan, his wife and lovely family made us feel so welcome. A beautiful Boutique hotel with historical significance. Will return on my next visit from the U.K. and recommend to anyone visiting Seattle. Craig and Anna

I had a delightful stay at the Seattle Gaslight Inn! I was there for a work event, and it was conveniently located within walking distance of the school. There are lots of great restaurants around as well as cute shops and stores for basic needs. Ryan and Joelle are wonderful hosts and even accommodated our group by serving breakfast early before we needed to leave each day. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room by the fire in the evenings, and the bed in my room was so comfortable! I will definitely look forward to staying at the Gaslight Inn again!
