Starwood's Secret: Sixth Avenue Inn
Frommer's lets us all in on a little secret. Before Starwood became the hotel giant it is, it started by buying up tons of smaller properties to convert. One of these was Seattle's Sixth Avenue Inn, a cozy inn in a great location. Yes, the Inn is owned by Starwood, but would you know it if you went there? Not at all. They've managed to keep it independent and avoid marketing it with the rest of the brands, but still give it Starwood service and accountability.
The price is less then Starwood's usual--you can get a room for as little as $72 and there's a bar and grill, exercise room and full staff. It's reportedly quite safe and clean. And the mattresses are castoffs from other Starwood hotels so you just might get to sleep in that Heavenly Bed for about a third of the price. It's also just a quick walk to Pike Place Market and other attractions.
