Seattle Pier 91

[whatcruiseisnext]

just booked Alaska cruise roundtrip from Seattle for 2011. We want to stay in Seattle for 2 days pre-cruise. We leave out of pier 91. What are some hotel recommendations for us as well as transportation to the hotel and ship. Thanks so much

you may wish to look at tripadvisor.com and Seattle forum and read 'cruises from Seattle' and where to stay in Seattle. 91 is very close to any downtown hotel so staying in downtown is best if you wish to sightsee. A new hotel is The Maxwell, and Comfort Inn and Suites are close to the space needle and slightly closer to Pier 91. Also on the FAQ's you can read about airport transportl A cab is around $15 from hotel areas to pier.

As Dave suggested, you should check out Tripadvisor as there are many hotels to choose from and it also depends on what you like and how much you want to spend.

 

We stayed at two different hotels pre and post cruise, both with great locations near shopping centers, food and quick walk to Pike Place Market. The Mayflower Park is an historic hotel and sort of boutique like, loved it would stay there again. The monorail to Seattle Center is located in the shopping center that's connected to the hotel. The other hotel is Red Lion on 5th Ave, nice, modernish. Would stay there again although I prefer Mayflower Park as it's more my style.

 

Good luck! :)
