Just wondering if anyone here knows of an all-day in/out parking option near the Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers (Seattle / Pike Place) that would be more economical than parking at the hotel, which is $35/day (~$40 with tax). An overnight option might work as well.

4*/Pike Place/(Smoke Free, Fitness Center, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Internet)/95% Recommended I pulled the trigger and got the Sheraton. $111/night (base).

Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a room for 3 for 9/22-9/24. I'm currently seeing $112/nt for a 4* Pike Place hotel (down from $136 last night). The amenities list makes me think this is one of Westin / Sheraton / Renaissance. The first two (haven't checked Ren. yet) charge $40+/day for parking, $10+ for in-room internet; and free fitness center. I can live with those fees; I just want to be sure I'm not going to be hit with any mandatory "resort" or other surprise fees after committing. Anyone know for sure if any of those 3 properties charge mandatory fees? Also, anyone know if there are less expensive parking options reasonably close to these properties?

Just wondering if any of the 4-star hotels in the Seattle Downtown/Pike Place zone charge mandatory fees above the Hotwire price. Also, do they generally charge extra for internet access and/or use of the fitness facilities? And how much do they charge for parking?

I'm new to PRICELINE / HOTWIRE bidding and thought I might try it for an upcoming trip, but I have a couple of questions. Do any of the San Francisco hotels available through PRICELINE and HOTWIRE include free parking? Is there any way to restrict my bidding to hotels that offer specific amenities (such as free parking)? Do the bid prices include taxes and fees? If not, is there any way to determine what these will be prior to bidding, or are there any guidelines for how much to budget for them (in San Francisco)? Also, how consistent are the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE ratings? Are ratings equivalent between the two? Is there anywhere that provides a description of what to expect for each number of stars? Thanks!
