moonlightdancer Posted March 3, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Looking for a good place to stay in Seattle for pre-cruise weekend that will be convenient for departure. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyIL Posted March 3, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2007 We stayed at the Marriott Waterfront in 2003. It's a beautiful hotel in a great location - close to some piers. http://marriott.com/hotels/travel/seawf-seattle-marriott-waterfront/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italy52 Posted March 3, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Have stayed at the Marriott about three times. We used to live in WA and would stay there when we would go into town for a weekend get-a-way. Also stayed there pre-cruise once. Hotel is in a great location. NCL pier is across the street (unless it has changed for some reason) and a short walk from the hotel. We used to get a view room and would watch the NCL ships come and go from the harbor. Food is a little on the high side; however, there are plenty of options nearby--even a McDonalds if you so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star7228 Posted March 5, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2007 We were going to stay at the Westin, but then we switched over to the Inn at the Market, because it's right next to the Pike Place Market, and we really wanted to experience that. It's also right near the water, so conveniently close to our pier. I'm very excited for our stay there! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creddick Posted March 6, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 6, 2007 My wife and I LOVED the Crowne Plaza. We stayed there in September, 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFloDeb Posted March 15, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Just booked the Westin through Hotwire - looks beautiful and gets pretty good reviews on tripadvisor. Best friend stayed there last year and said its beautiful and the location is excellent - a few blocks from everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwall17 Posted March 15, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Check Quickbook site. Have used Quickbook several times with good results. Usually can get some good deals at some of the nicer boutique type hotels. We are staying at the Hotel Monoco in downtown Seattle over Memorial Day weekend prior to our cruise for $ 159/nt. Hotel web site and the other internet sites are running $ 340/nt for same room. Hotel looks to be 4-5 blocks from Pike Place and a short cab ride to either of 2 cruise ship terminals. Reviews seem pretty decent plus I have stayed at their properties in San Fran and they were nice. To me this is a steal at $ 159 for a 4 star property over a holiday weekend.

akh40 Posted March 16, 2007 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2007 For anyone looking for a very low budget, no frills option, I've checked into and booked the Motel 6 on Military Rd. near the SeaTac Airport...I heard decent things on this board about it, and the reviews I found on line were favorable. The rate quoted was right around $50. Of course, Motel 6 is what it is...but we'd rather save our money for the ship!:) This Motel 6 is about 14 miles from the Pier.

akh40 Posted March 25, 2007 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2007 We'll have our car...driving up from Boise, so that's how we'll get to the pier from the Motel 6. Don't know how expensive a taxi would be, or maybe take an airport limo? Sometimes they aren't that expensive. By the way, we are originally from the Bay Area, Sunnyvale to be exact. We've been in Boise 17 years now. Small world! Amanda in Boise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb996 Posted March 27, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 27, 2007 shopaholicforlife I was ready to give you a BIG hug for the $109 rate at the Crowne Plaza. Then I looked at the reservation I made at the Crowne Plaza 2 months ago, it says "Canceling your reservation or failing to show will result in a charge for the entire stay per room to your credit card". The rate I booked had restrictions. BIG lesson learned!!! I'm paying $172 per night. I'm going to give them a call and see if I can guilt them into changing the price.

Thanks, Awesome information, everyone here take note, I used this code and was able to get two rooms for under their regular price for one room. To get this kind of price from this quality and expensive of hotel is pretty unheard of. Again thank you for passing on the excellent information.

D4 Posted March 28, 2007 #19 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wow, thanks for the great information. I booked this for the night after our cruise. I hoped to find a nice downtown location. I already have a great rate at an airport hotel for the night before the cruise (since we're getting in late and won't have time to do anything.)
