Where to stay in Seattle

[gramshup]

Looking for any help with a descent place to stay that won't break the bank in Seattle 's downtown area. All suggestions appreciated.

[fllcruiser]

I would try the Mayflower,good location and decent rates. They often have AAA and Senior rates if either of these apply.

We are booked at Spring Hill Suites by Mariott for our May 2006 cruise I think it's about 109.00 per night.

We are looking also for an inexpensive hotel in Seattle for our May 2006 cruise. I posted a thread and have not recieved a response. We are looking for something under $100 per night within walking distance to the Space Needle. Best price I've found so far was on hotwire.com, ($79.79) but they don't say what hotel or exact address until booking, and no cancelations or refunds. I really wanted to know if the location is close us for what we are looking for before booking. If anyone has additional suggestions, it would be appreciated.

We are doing 3 nights in Seattle prior to our cruise and we are staying on lake Union at the Silver Cloud inn with a AAA rate of $126 they have free breakfast and shuttle service to downtown too.

I second the vote for the Silver Cloud Inn on Lake Union. Also check out the Warwick Hotel in Seattle. They offer pre and post cruise packages. It's not super cheap but it's nice; rates starting from $279 get you a room for two, a full breakfast, and two visitor's passes for activities in Seattle, all inclusive. I would be hesitant to book any downtown hotel for under $100, but that's just me, and I'm a high-maintenance kind of person. There are some pretty seedy places in downtown Seattle. Anything decent will run you over $100, in my estimation. Just my 2 cents:)

I've always had great luck finding nice hotels using Priceline.com... I have bid $75 to 85 for a Downtown Seattle location, and have yet to be disappointed.

 

However, each time I use Priceline, I'm a nervous wreck...something about being "locked in" to a hotel rate and location.

 

On my upcoming cruise, we're booked at $75 per night for 2 nights at the Marriott Renaissance Seattle. Their website is quoting around $250 per night...so hopefully I got a good deal!

[Old As Dirt Mom]

Yes, Texas Longhorns, that's a good deal, and the Marriott Renaissance is just fine. There's also more info on Seattle hotels on the Cruise Discussion Topics board, under Hotels - pre and post cruise, if anyone needs more info.

One last post, and then I'll shut up. KVR, check out Comfort Suites Seattle. I'm an idiot, and don't know how to paste the link here, but it's comfortsuites-seattle.com. It's a good, budget hotel within walking distance of the Seattle Center and the Space Needle. Good luck to you.

[KVR]

I did check out the Comfort Suites. It's $89.00 + taxes. I'm sorry if I sound cheap, but $100 for a low budget hotel I can get here in my home town for less than 1/2 of what Seattle is charging for 1 night is just killing me. :rolleyes:

 

We are going to wait and look some more. The Seattle Super Saver website does not have prices for May yet. We'll probably just have to suck it up and pay the $100+.

We got the Holiday Inn Express downtown Seattle for $70. a night on Hotwire 4 months ago for our June cruise. It is now $97 a night. It is downtown and has a continental breakfast.

We stayed at the Moore Hotel last August before our Alaska cruise. Their website is www.moorehotel.com . There is nothing fancy about this hotel. It was built in 1927. It does not have air conditioning but we didn't need it and they do have fans if you need them. It was around 80 dollars a night for 2 people and that is with tax. The hotel is very clean and I would not hesitate to stay there again. It does have it's flaws like no snack machines and the elevator is very small. It is about 2 blocks to Pikes market but I'm not sure how far to space needle.

I've booked the Days Inn Downtown Seattle for June 9 for $90.00. It includes a full "hot" breakfast and the pictures don't look bad. The reviews on another website were generally favorable.

 

Having said that, I keep looking to find something a little nicer for the same price (or less) . I too am waiting for the prices on Seattle Super Saver to come out. If anyone finds a better deal please post it. The only thing I must have is some type of breakfast included at the hotel, as we are a family of four and will be taking the Amtrak to Van. early on the 10th.

We stayed at the holiday inn close to sea-tac this october. It was like 40.00 a night from priceline. Got a great shuttle to the terminal for 10.00 pp.

Check out the Homewood Suites by Hilton-Downtown Seattle. It is walkable to the Space Needle and Pike Street/Waterfront area. The hotel had inexpensive parking and the rates include Breakfast and Dinner, along with a PM Happy Hour during the week.

 

Some rooms have views of Elliott Bay.

[cwtravel]

One more thing....

The hotel is very nice with large "Suite" type rooms.

We are a group of 10 and were able to get rooms for 99.95 at Quality Inn and they are helping with our shuttle to and from the airport and to and from the pier.

[emarismom]

Gramshup,

 

I posted a couple of days ago that I was going to be staying at the Days Inn Downtown, but when I went back to check, it is the Quality Inn. We did get it at 90.00 with a goverment discount in June. How did you arrange the transportation to and from the airport? Is it because you have such a big group? I'd love to get trans from the airport as I will need it twice. Precruise and then post cruise I will also be flying from Anchorage, spending two more nights in Seattle, then flying home.

[emarismom]

Just checked Seattle Super Saver and the rates for June were available. Unfortunately, I didn't find them to be any better than what I've already got. I hope this can help some else.

[gramshup]

I want to thank everyone for all the help on this board. We are staying at Quality Inn and have their director of sales helping us with all our transfer,etc.

[gramshup]

emarismom,

If you are booked at the Quality Inn, I would call them and ask for shuttle help. We are working with the group director but I bet you could still get a good deal on shuttle service. They have taken all the work out of it for us.
