Avoid the Fairmont.

Crappy old rooms for sky-high price.

The 1000 gets high marks but I haven't been.

Honestly--Seattle sucks.

If you're looking for a weekend to horse around Portland is far more enjoyable, has street cars, and no sales tax.


Getting around Seattle is a bunch of complete bullschitt. There isn't schit for cabs, no streetcars, no subways, and the Metro only works if you know the routes by heart. Plus, the entire mistake of a city is built on a steep hillside.
Settle's great if you like grey, drab crapholes with a populace too cheap (really?? 'nigg@rdly' is censored??) to buy themselves a real transit system and your idea of a good time is looking at over-priced garbage in a smelly, crowded market or wandering around a semi-abandoned world's fairground.
