Priceline Hotel: 3* Seattle (Center-Space Needle) Homewood Suites

[temescal]

Bid $80 for 2.5* in Downtown-Space Needle (thinking Holiday Inn Express) - got the Homewood Suites on the first try. Not sure if I bid too high, but this was lower than anything comparable on HOTWIRE.

Used the link to PRICELINE from inside this site.

This is very interesting to see this new property added to the list. It should be a good hotel, and I hope you report back on it.

Well worth the 3 stars. Very comfortable - I was given a large suite room with a separate bedroom and door (nice to close it on the refrigerator noise), central kitchenette/bathroom area (including 2 burner stove and dishwasher) and separate living room with its own TV. It's about 6 stories tall. Neighborhood is quiet - a hillside covered with greenery is across the street. They also seemed to credit my Hilton card, though I'll believe that when it's credited.

Very substantial complimentary breakfast - eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, etc. and plenty of fruit.

Parking is in the basement for $15/day; there are some cheaper outdoor parking lots a block up the hill.

Located close to the waterfront, but well north of the Pike's Place Market area (which is about a 15-20 minute walk). The Queen Anne neighborhood shopping district is an easy 5 minute walk up the hill to restaurants, movie theatre, Safeway, etc. A little bit further takes you to the Key Arena and Science Center, and further than that, the Space Needle.
