McFins Posted September 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi there. Looking for recommendations for hotel in Seattle to stay for a day or two before and after a cruise on the Pearl. It will be next summer but I thought I would start checking to see where folks were staying? I'll do some research on Seattle but is there a hotel that is both close to the pier as well as tourist sites? Is there one you particularly liked or didn't like? Convenient or inconvenient? Decent room in a good location is what interests us most. As always, very much appreciate any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triptolemus Posted September 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Personally, I'm a fan of The Seattle Marriott Waterfront, which is literally across the street from the pier. Good food, great views. Convenient to attractions. ($$$$) Second choice is Sheraton Seattle Hotel, downtown. ($$$) Depending on your plans, I also have to mention the Cedarbrook Lodge as post cruise retreat. It's south, closer to the airport, but I know when I'm back from a cruise, all I want is tranquility and a good steak. Definitely take a look at it. Tons of info over on the West Coast Departures forum: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=413 Edited September 6, 2016 by triptolemus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatdrinkfly Posted September 6, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I really like the Fairmont Olympic and the Hyatt at Olive 8. Both are really well located and in easy walking distance to all the downtown sites. If I'm looking for something more budget, I stay at The Moore Hotel.

Kamloops50 Posted September 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I personally like to stay near the Space Needle . If flying than near the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the Hyatt Place, it's across the road from a number of the main tourist sites including the space needle and also has a free shuttle to the cruise port at Pier 66 where the Pearl sails from . We are staying there after our cruise and staying at the Courtyard in South Lake Union before our cruise. Both are close to transport and in nice areas . I would recommend going on the west coast departures board on here where you will get more information Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cashed in points for the room and got a great view of the space needle. Like the above post said there is a free shuttle to the NCL pier or within a Mile of the hotel. The shuttle was running late on embarkation day so we got a cab for $10. Plenty of places within walking distance like restaurants plus a Walgreens right across the street. You can also walk to the monorail to go to Pikes Market or downtown. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that :) I wasn't sure if I am able to name the site on here but they specialise in top secret hotel deals.

bonvoyagie Posted September 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2016 We spent our pre-cruise night at the Best Western Inn and Suites on Taylor. It is close to the Space Needle, the Chihuly Glass Museum, and the EMP but a bit removed from Pike Place Market and the waterfront. They have a shuttle to the pier - $10.00/head They do have space needle view rooms. There was also a great little Italian restaurant next door and offer a free breakfast. The Seattle Marriot Waterfront is twice the price, but is closer to the waterfront activities like Pike Place, the Aquarium, and the Wheel - but further away from the Space Needle. We also used credit card points one year to stay at the Sheraton Seattle, again a nice hotel - but a bit removed from everything. BTW we typically take the train up from Portland so we are starting in the downtown area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayola1932 Posted September 8, 2016 #21 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Try the Edgewater, right near the water. The Pacific Plaza downtown. Small rooms and nothing special about the view, but the prices are a little less than other hotels and the location is very convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyLouWho2 Posted September 8, 2016 #22 Share Posted September 8, 2016 We just stayed pre-cruise at the Four Points by Sheraton on Roy Street - it was cheaper than the central down town ones but was in a great location - 10 minute walk tops to the space needle, museum etc. and that was with a somewhat older person who has to walk slowly. From there it is a quick (5 mins?) monorail ride to central downtown and can walk from the monorail stop to Pike Place market in less than 10 minutes. It was the cheapest place we could find to put 6 of us in one room, in the end it worked out cheaper to do that then rent two rooms more central downtown. It cost us 7.00 total to cab from the hotel to the Pier and was about a five minute drive. The hotel has a shuttle for 7 per person, but clearly not worth it when it was so cheap to do a cab. The hotel has a nice courtyard area that can be used, was close to good food and close to attractions so we were happy. I would definitely stay there again.

Heather1972 Posted September 8, 2016 #23 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I recently stayed at Hotel 1000. I cannot recommend it at all. We stayed in three different rooms over four days. Two of the three rooms did not have cold water. Housekeeping also didn't clean the room one day. On another day they didn't come until after 5 PM when I had the do not disturb sign up. This is supposed be one of the top hotels in Seattle!?!? If I had to do it all over again I might would stay closer to the Westlake Station.
