Seattle Sheraton vs. Westin vs. the W - which is best?
I'll be using Starwood points, so price doesn't matter. All three hotels are Category 4 on the spg.com website.
Which hotel is best?
I think what's important to me is the nicest views and nicest rooms.
Thanks!!

Assuming it's pretty soon, the ongoing construction at the Sheraton excludes it. Later in the summer, who knows.
The Westin has the best views but likely more dated than the W or (presumably) the new Sheraton wing's rooms.
The W is a W - sleek, good restaurant, a bit cold, closer to office buildings - perfect for hip lawyers.
Pick 'em.

Agree with Gardyloo's assessment and would just add that the rooms at the W are very comfortable and some do have views. I'm not as comfortable with the vibe in the lobby and bar there though--it feels like it's trying too hard to be LA not Seattle. But as I said, the rooms are very nice ;-).

I'll likely want to walk to places like the Pike Pl Market or other areas of interest for a visitor/tourist. I know the Westin is quite close...what about the W and Sheraton?
Also - do you know which one will be easier/cheaper to have a car? I'll probably have a rental car and don't want to pay for super expensive parking.
It's this weekend, so yes the Sheraton will still be under construction.

The Westin is two blocks closer than the Sheraton, three blocks closer than the W.
Parking at any of the 3 will be very expensive. There are probably more surface lots closer to the Westin than the others, but of course no in 'n out. There are several rental chain branches downtown - you might consider only renting a car for a 24 hr period when you need it. Walking or the bus will handle all the downtown sights.
