I just spent a night at the Hotel Vintage Park (I think I paid $100 for it via Priceline as I was in a hurry and didn't have time to do a lot of re-bidding work). While I was basically only in the lobby and in the room, I really did think it deserved the 4* rating. Yes my room was on the small side, but I had a really comfortable queen size bed. (Just as comfortable as the Sheraton and the Edgewater, other 4* hotels in Seattle). Free wireless. L'Occitane shower products. My bathroom had a nice granite slab -- pretty much the same bathroom as the Sheraton. It's a Kimpton hotel and while it's not as nice as the Monaco or Alexis, I still think it's nice and I'd be happy with anything under $100. Of course, that's one night in one room. I have no idea if my experience was uncommon.
