Seattle hotel hook-up?

Jul 07, 2008 10:37

I need to book a hotel in Seattle for the night on a weekend in a couple weeks but am totally clueless about hotels in the area since I live here and have never had to use one. I tried all the big travel sites online looking for deals but it seems $200+ is the average price for a night (ridiculous!). Anyone here work for a hotel chain or can ( Read more... )

What area?

downtown/cap hill/etc.

It's summertime, so the rates have increased.

makes sense.

Sad for locals.

Try the Watertown. I helped a friend find a room there. Nice place. Cheaper than downtown.

they are booking at like $165 a night (i am the person coming to town) but it seems like why stay in u village if we will be clubbing on cap hill???

stupid expensive hotels, maybe we should just stay up all night hahaha

between the two of us we'd need about a flat of Rockstar which runs about $33 and is much more in my price range ;)

i am thinking maybe this might be the better option!! and we could take such rad pictures when the sun come up. hahaah.

It's tourist season, and SeaFair. All the rates have gone up. You might be able to get something through Priceline.com or Kayak.com, but your chances aren't too good.

More details on what matters to you would be helpful.

The College Inn in the U District will be a lot less expensive than $200 per night, but very basic. It's a step up from hostel, with privat rooms, but the rooms don't have an ensuite bath -- toilets and showers are down the hall. If you want more luxe, try the Watertown or the Hotel Deca -- also both in the U District -- they both have packages somewhat under $200. If you need to be closer to downtown, the Best Western Executive Inn by Seattle Center is well-priced without being a horrible fleabag.

If you're just looking for a price break why not use Priceline, Orbitz, Hotels.com, or one of the other travel booking sites? Or stop by your local book store and get a copy of the Let's Go guide for the PNW -- the Let's Go guides are usually a good resource for cheaper accomodations.
