The Spotlight on Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle North of Downtown

Affordable Comfort Just North of the Action

Modern and simple, Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle North of Downtown is a budget-friendly hotel located just north of the city’s vibrant downtown. With easy access to the main music venues like Seattle Center and the Space Needle area — both around 5 miles away — this hotel offers a relaxed, no-frills base for travelers looking to catch a show and explore the city.
Whether you're in town for a sold-out concert or a weekend of music and sightseeing, this hotel balances value with convenience. Plus, with a business center on-site, it has the basics covered for a short, functional stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location puts you within a short drive to major venues like Climate Pledge Arena and the Seattle Center, making it easy to catch your favorite artists, even on a tight schedule. While it's not directly in the heart of downtown, it's far enough from the buzz to offer a quieter place to crash post-show. With check-in starting at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there's enough flexibility to make your trip work around performance times.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a simple, affordable home base
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list artist
  • Couples wanting a weekend escape outside the bustle
  • Fans needing a quiet space to recharge after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to spend on tickets, not lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the location along Aurora Avenue puts you in walking distance of casual dining spots and fast food options. Great for grabbing a bite before or after a concert. Rooms include mini-fridges for your late-night leftovers, and while there’s no 24/7 room service, Seattle’s food delivery apps have you covered. Breakfast isn’t served onsite, but diners nearby open early for a post-show brunch fix.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a nightlife hub, but that’s part of its charm. After a show, you can head back to the hotel for a low-key night. If you’re looking to keep the party going, it’s just a short ride to downtown’s bars, lounges, and live music spots. Or, stay local and explore a few neighborhood taverns nearby.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, clean rooms, and helpful staff. Many note that while it’s not fancy, it’s exactly what they needed for a concert weekend. The ease of parking and access to main roads is another plus, especially for travelers with cars.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviews mention that the hotel is a bit dated and could use some modern upgrades. Being near a busy road, road noise may be noticeable in some rooms. It's also not walkable to downtown venues, so plan for rideshare or transit.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a simple, quiet, and budget-friendly place to stay just outside Seattle’s concert scene, Travelodge by Wyndham Seattle North of Downtown hits the right note.

Very good

Liked: The bed was comfy with good pillows, the room laid out in a useful way and the fridge got super cold. Well priced for my stay.
Disliked: I did not like the smell of smoke/ other items outside the rooms as it was so overwhelming that it came into my room a little.

Good

Liked: Decided to give this place a try despite the bad reviews. Staff was friendly, explained how checking in worked with prepaid bookings when I inquired about how it functioned. Very accommodating, they managed to move our friend's room right next to the one my travel partner and I were staying in. Close to Seattle. Beds were very comfortable for being standard hotel beds. Check in was quick and easy, and there were no extra fees. On-site parking with no fee was also a plus.
Disliked: First and foremost: bug problem. Bathroom has ants. I killed what looked like a silverfish and by morning there were a pile of ants over where the body used to be. Not the most appealing. Area is also concerning. The neighborhood is sketchy and people like to hang around the front at night. Our cars weren't broken into, but it still felt unsafe. There was also what appeared to be a muffin left in our fridge from a previous guest.
