Thompson Seattle Hotel - good rate?

[darin2]

The Thompson Seattle hotel just popped up on my Expedia search with a decent rate of $280. It looks like a newer boutique hotel just a block from Pike's Market. I went to their website to check more rates, and when I did, it gave me a popup that said click here for a free upgrade. So by using the promo code "vechat", it gave me a rate for a "Scout the Area" room special for $223 a night, which includes a $25 breakfast credit. I'm not familiar with this hotel, but wondered if anyone knew about it. I booked the room, as it seemed to be a good rate for that area, and 4.5 stars on Tripadvisor.

 

I assume anyone can use this promo code, I have no idea what dates it may or may not work for. Mine was at the end of August.

Wow, looks like a nice place and the price, for downtown Seattle, is reasonable. That rooftop bar looks like an awesome amenity for the place too - August usually being drier it could be a great way to end the day. The location is great. If I was from out of the area I would definitely consider it for a pre-cruise splurge. We've stayed at new properties in various cities and it's pretty common to have promotional specials to get the first bunch of guests to hopefully be repeats.
