Avoid the downtown Hilton. Itsa dump. The airport Hilton was below average, but I have not stayed there since the re-do. Airport DT is above average, but I still prefer the Seattle/Renton HGI.

Although the Hampton Inn is not in the "downtown area" it is right near the Space needle.. pretty reasonable and nice Hampton Suites.... I had a separate room with a kitchen and a fireplace...

I stay in Seattle all of the time...I would recommend the Bellevue Hilton, Bellevue Doubletree (read the address on one of the post to use...the other is a pit), or the Brand New Hilton at the Airport. All 3 of those are excellent choices. The Doubletree will be the most expensive, and you can usually get really good rates at the Airport.

The doubletree at the airport is only nice if you are staying in the tower. Otherwise, you will have to walk 3 miles to get to your room.
THe Hilton at the airport is very nice, the staff is very receptive, and everthing else there is nice. The only problem is, I haven't been able to use their high-speed internet access any of the 3 times I have stayed there in the past month.

Have stayed in several airport-area properties:
Airport Doubletree is an older property, but rooms are nice. I agree that the tower rooms are the best. Staying there this week for $85/night.
Airport Hampton - newer, good staff. But, it's a Hampton. For the same price, stay at the Doubletree.
Hilton Garden Inn Renton/Tukwila - new property, nice rooms, sometimes hard to get reservations.
Doubletree Guest Suites Tukwila/Southcenter - older property, decent rooms, excellent staff. Still has cracks in the corridors from the earthquake.

UPDATE!! Best/Worst HHonors Hotels In Seattle?
/My family and I are looking for a nice Hilton hotel in/around Seattle. Does anybody have a favorite? a worst? Horror Stories? Great Stories?
Any HHonors hotel for Double dips will do. We have stayed in Embassy Suites before and liked the two room layout, microwave and Complimentary Breakfast. (Lompoc, CA.)
Thanks in advance. MG911Guy..../
Thanks To Everyone who posted a suggestion to my orig. question.
Well we ended up in Vancouver,BC. Stayed in the Hilton in Richmond (@Airport) WOW! what a fabulous property.
We had originally booked at the Hampton inn Suites, But the rooms were to small for all of us ($135.00 Cdn)
So we called the Hilton and got a King Suite for $149 Cdn!!!!
Gold VIP Upgraded also. The Hampton Inn wouldn't comp anything?
I would highly recommend The Hilton Airport in Vancouver,BC. to any one. The staff was very friendly and helpful, although HS Internet was unavailable for us also.
We ended up in Seattle at the Doubletree Guest Suites in Tukwila. $99 US. But Only an OK property.
It filled our needs with a King Suite. I was comp'd from Double to King with full breakfast buffet for all of us daily. The staff was friendly except for one dinner hostess.
I signed up for the EWRDC Promo just before leaving.
I think giving me Gold was a win win for everyone. Hilton has my business and we felt very special.
We are sticking with Hilton whenever possible.
Thanks Again MG911guy.....

/Yes, my wife & I really like that YVR Hilton; we stayed there last Sept using saver award, 3 nts for 30K pts. It was a DEAL. We even got upgraded(?) to a suite on a free stay!/
DH, I'm a newbie working towards such a bargain! I am glad to have found the FT.
We are collecting points/miles for a BC/FC upgrade from LAX to FRA in April 2002.

We stayed at the Homewood suites in downtown last year and it was too noisy and far away. Didn't like the room layout either. We switched to 2 connecting rooms at the W Seattle and were much happier.

I am currently staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in Renton. Nice, nice rooms. Mine is on the ground floor. No view, but no highway noise either!
Breakfast buffet included with your Gold card. The free buffet is only the continentail stuff. If you want eggs, pancakes, etc. there is an extra $2 charge. Not bad for "made to order" breakfast!
OH! Also received a bottle of water upon check in. AND! There are Otis Spunkmeyer cookies at the desk every evening.
Overall, this is a good property that may become the regular stop for when I am in Seattle!
