fla gang Posted March 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Looking to do Alaska out of Seattle in July and need some ideas. We are flying into Seattle two days before the cruise. What area and hotels does everyone prefer? We don't want to stay in a Motel 6 but we don't want to pay much over $ 225 per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougMacP Posted March 26, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not much available in that price range in downtown....The Inn at Virginia Mason...is a really good value https://www.hotelsone.com/seattle-hotels-us/the-inn-at-virginia-mason.html?as=g&aid=6144978518&dsti=224154&dstt=8&akw=inn at virginia mason&asrc=Search&ast=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgLqUqdeg4QIVdx-tBh32YQt3EAAYAiAAEgLcN_D_BwE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted March 26, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Get the Marriott Binvoy credit card. Currently a 100,000 point sign up bonus. Only a $95 annual fee. Use your point for 2 nights of hotels tight downtown. https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/earn/credit-card-rewards.mi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakeDad Posted March 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If you want to see Seattle it's worth booking downtown and saving on a rental car or taxis to downtown. It's an amazing city and not to be missed if you are that close. We stayed at the Fairfield and got an amazing rate. You can also check to see if the cruise line has any hotel specials pre-cruise. Check Expedia/Booking.com as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted March 27, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2019 You can also stay out by the airport and take the train into town -pretty simple and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fla gang Posted March 27, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I will contact Club Royal and see if they can book a hotel room. They told me they can book the flight so maybe they can do a room too. I shouldn't complain. All I have to pay for the cruise are port taxes and gov't fees.

Rare kctwinmommy Posted March 27, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2019 We stayed at the Four Points Sheraton, near Seattle Center, on the north side of the city. It was a better price for sure! Plus, it was a 15 minute walk over the things we wanted to see there. Then we would take the monorail from there to get downtown when we wanted to go there. It was super easy and saved a lot more money. We stayed for 4 nights before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both my wife and I have the card. Besides the points the annual free night is nice. I look at it like we are prepaying our hotel in Canadian at a reduced rate instead of in US$ We never get as good a sign up deal as they do in the US.

Right now we are trying to decide if we are going to use the points in Seattle in July or save them and stay at the Sheraton Old San Juan in December. Decisions, decisions!

Peckishpixie Posted March 28, 2019 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Have you considered Airbnb? The neighborhood near the cruise terminal is called Magnolia and it has positively beautiful homes. Seattle regulates its Airbnb so you can feel safe that you will get what they advertise. The costs vary, but are usually less than $150 a night. Make sure you filter for "entire place" under home type or you will be in a shared room https://www.airbnb.com/s/homes?refinement_paths[]=%2Fhomes&query=seattle&search_type=UNKNOWN&neighborhood_ids[]=1246&allow_override[]=&s_tag=f7sGOZ2S Edited March 28, 2019 by Peckishpixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
