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.
