Yeah, I'm pretty high on Starwood, but no question, it exceeds all of the Starwood brand properties in the area (W, Sheraton and Westin). The Westin is quite shabby. The Sheraton is newest because of their renovation, but still not close. Hyatt is one of the nicer properties in the area which is why I stay there.

It is an easy walk. agrater is right...the blocks are pretty easy walking distances. I would think twice though about walking in that area at night. The area around Benaroya hall has some characters in the evening and it is pretty deserted of tourists late (past 9/10PM). I feel OK walking, but if you are unfamiliar with the area, I would cab it.

Disregard my comment about asking for a corporate rate. I see Amazon put you up in that hotel so I am assuming they are paying the rate.
