Homewood Suites is the quiet Pier 91 pick on this list. By our road estimate it's about 2.2 miles from Smith Cove — the shortest drive to Pier 91 of any hotel in our twenty — with a kitchen in every suite and a free hot breakfast buffet.
Hilton listed the "Cruise Ship Terminals" a mile away without naming a pier. Pier 66 is about 0.9 miles by road, which fits, and Pier 91 is about 9 minutes with no traffic.
It's No. 17 because there's no shuttle and parking is $49 a day, with nothing said about leaving the car for a cruise. Pets are $75 for up to four nights.
Book it with kids for a Pier 91 sailing, cook dinner in the suite, and cab the 2 miles in the morning.
Book it if
- Families who want a kitchen
- Pet owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want a ride to the ship.
- You need to leave the car.
Your night before, from here
Check-in to gangway at Homewood Suites, built from what the hotel publishes plus our road estimates — the drive times are ours, not the hotel’s.
All suites, each with an in-room kitchen, a short walk from Climate Pledge Arena and the Olympic Sculpture Park.
Hilton lists no cruise shuttle. A cruise blog says a $15 shuttle runs from Homewood Suites; the hotel's own pages don't, so we don't score it — ask the desk before you count on it.

Hilton lists "Cruise Ship Terminals: 1 mile" without naming a pier. The hotel is in Lower Queen Anne, west of Seattle Center. Our road estimate is about 0.9 miles to Pier 66 and 2.2 miles to Pier 91 — empty-road figures, so pad them for traffic. Allow more than our estimate of 9 minutes from Homewood Suites to Pier 91 — that figure assumes empty roads.
Parking is $49 a day, covered and secured, in and out. Nothing about leaving the car while you cruise.
Night-Before Score: 33 of 100
Homewood Suites earns 20 for where it sits, 0 for the ride and 0 for parking. It scores nothing for a ride to the ship or parking while you sail — Homewood Suites doesn’t publish them, so that’s a zero, not a guess. Here’s how the Night-Before Score works.
Homewood Suites to the ship, leg by leg
Homewood Suites sits about 15.2 miles by road from the airport garage and about 2.2 miles from Pier 91, by our estimate — empty-road figures, not rush hour. Solid lines are rides someone publishes.

Hilton lists no cruise shuttle. A cruise blog says a $15 shuttle runs from Homewood Suites; the hotel's own pages don't, so we don't score it — ask the desk before you count on it.
