That's summer in Seattle... Portland's similar, although there I can usually get my corporate rate downtown in the low/mid-$200's.
The Marriott Waterfront was probably the spikiest of them all, thanks to cruise traffic.
$150 would be an excellent rate in downtown Seattle for a weeknight. Even the Microsoft corp rates 10 years ago were higher than that.
Then there would be nights where the whole city was $350+...and then I'd find a really good Pan Pacific promo code that actually worked for far less. (PP is a great hotel - should ordinarily price above MR/SPG/HH.)
