I'm going to a wedding in Seattle and need a well located, inexpensive, downtown hotel for 2 from August 31st for a few nights. I have been to Seattle 3 times and the only thing I used to come up with was the Pacific Plaza (using my entertainment card, but those times are over.)
The only thing I can think of is the "Y"' but I don't wan't to go that route.
HELP!

Try Priceline.

Try Priceline. Look at biddingfortravel.com first. You should be able to get a nice 4 star hotel for between $40 and $60/night.

Judy, if you can get ANY room on Priceline, do so at once. Be sure you go to biddingfortravel.com first to learn how to get re-bids without waiting for days between bid opportunities.

Aug. 31 is the beginning of Labor Day weekend, when the Bumbershoot arts festival occurs at Seattle Center. That is the peak weekend of peak weekends of the year, so your pickings of any rooms at all, period, are going to be scarce. Find something now, or start looking farther away from downtown. But start today.

I did some research on Seattle hotels a few years back so I could see a friend. She insisted that I stay with her instead. There is a Travelodge near the needle. I remember the rates not being bad and they had free parking.

Thanks for your help. I have never tried Priceline before, but I will look into it.
I was hoping that soomeone could give me the name of a hotel that I could call or pursue further.

stayed at the Crowne Plaza. Can't remember the exact rate. Probably around $100. Decent location although not much action in hte area at night.

cannot recommend a particular hotel but keep in mind 8/31 is Labor Day weekend. When I was booking a room (for your travel dates a few months ago) many hotels were booked or had a 3 night minimum.

Judy, I'm not sure of your budget but I just checked on Expedia and the Hilton came up the lowest at $119, followed by the Edgewater at $159. Both nice places.

I also would try priceline. We just used it for the first time on a trip to Boston last month and got the Westin for $89 a night. Just make sure to choose Seattle downtown and 4 stars. You'll get a deal I'm sure.

Hope you'll get to go to Bumbershoot for a day while your here. It's really fantastic!

We booked 5 nights on priceline for August 12/02. 4* 40.00 a night, we are staying at the Elliot Grand Hyatt on Pine st. Excellent hotel, great location. I am so thrilled!! Definitely try priceline. PJ

Only one choice: THE ACE

Judy

I have a reservation at the Executive Paciufic Plaza for $89 (which is supposed to be a special wedding rate, but which I see I can get anywhere.)
Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
Please keep them coming!

Did you try priceline yet?

The Marqueen and the Inn at Queen Anne are both nice properties right by the space needle. I would check them out. Inn at Queen Anne is a bit basic, but it's cheap and in the entertainment book, I believe.

I got "sixth avenue inn" through Expedia, clean, nice, restaurant downstairs for BLD, good location.
