Priceline Hotel: 4* Seattle (Downtown) Sheraton

[rspiva]

Could use some help identifying the following hotels for May 12-17 on Hotwire:

Pike Place, 3.5*, Restaurant, Comp breakfast, Pool, Fit, Internet, Business Center, Laundry, $93

Space Needle, 3*, boutique, Restauraunt, spa, $68. this seems like a good deal for the time period but based on other postings I'm wary of Hotwire's 3* rating and the Space Needle area does not appear to have anything but "average" chain hotels. I'd be interested in other opinions.

By the way, thanks for the great site. I don't think I'd have wanted to try this process without your help.

The 3* might be the Marqueen. That's actually in the Queen Anne area, but it's covered by the Space Needle zone.

The 3.5* has not been identified but my best guess would be the Silver Cloud Hotel on Broadway.

The 3* is thought to be the Marqueen.

Let us know what you decide to do or if we can be of further help. Please us this HOTWIRE link to begin your purchase of either.

Started at $80, added zones for 85, 90, 93, 95, then won at $100. Helps that only one zone in Seattle currently has 4*'s.

Also to be noted: Although the zone covers up to space needle neighborhood and beyond, as of today there weren't any 4* hotels in that area so you're far more likely to end up near Pike Place.

Feel ok as advertised price for that period was $179, and lowest Hotwire 4* price (Westin, we think) was $111.

Any other experiences with the Sheraton?

I have no first hand experience with the Sheraton, but everything i have read about it has been very good (same with the Westin, although there i have firsthand experience).

However, in keeping with this board's "value oriented nature" i always highly recommend the early bird half price bar menu in the lounge at Brasa, details of times and a lounge menu can be found at their website.

Enjoy your stay.
