A few months later I stayed at the Hampton in near the Seattle Center, much preferred it.
Just be very careful if you stay at the HI during the summer and you get a suite, as I did when I was "upgraded" in August. Seems the living room has no A/C, only the bedroom. They do provide a fan, but it mostly blows hot air around. I happened to catch Seattle during a hot spell, and it was not fun. This was not disclosed to me at check-in, and since I had unpacked and had to do work, I declined the offer to move. In the end, they knocked $46 off the bill after I e-mailed HI, but you'd be wise to ask what room you're getting before you get a key.
