Seattle Hotel? Mayflower Park or Hyatt House

[avic77]

Hello all. I know every other post is a version of the question what hotel to stay at and of course I too am asking but please help me out. I have the option of the Hyatt House at the Space needle or Mayflower Park. Mayflower Park looks like it's right on the light rail and the monorail and would be easier to get to from the airport. Hyatt House is on the other end of the monorail.

Is one area safer or better. 

We have 2 nights pre cruise and plan to do the Seattle city pass. Visit Pike Place Market, Space Needle, MoPop, the glass gardens and do a harbor tour.

All things equal, I would go with the Mayflower.  The Mayflower is located walking distance from Pike Place Market (and from there the Seattle waterfront).  As you mentioned, it is also very close the the Westlake light rail station.  The Mayflower has a great restaurant - I went there for breakfast two days in a row when I was staying at the Westin.  The lounge, Oliver's is a great place to have happy hour, or a evening cocktail.

Through the years we have  stayed at the Mayflower Park a number of times.  We do book the larger rooms (are they described as delux — I can’t remember) as the standard rooms are on the small side.

Not really a wrong answer, but in general I'd say the Mayflower Park because I like being walking distance to Pike Place.
