I stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown Seattle for 3 nights and would recommend it as its location was great to get to downtown attractions, many of which are within walking distance. Also, the price was very attractive.
Pros:
location and price
Cons:

This hotel is a good buy if you are a good sleeper. My room was on the 16th floor and I heard dogs barking and traffic noise throughout the night. Clean large rooms!

Overall great experience. The beds are divine - five stars! The only thing for which I was not prepared was having to pay for internet. The location is perfect for enjoying the downtown area. Good value for the price - you won't be disappointed!
