When Seattle Marriott Waterfront wins: pick the Marriott if you need conference or meeting space, prefer a larger hotel with more rooms and recreational facilities (indoor and outdoor pools, 24-hour fitness), or want a familiar full-service brand within easy walking distance of the piers and attractions.
