That said, it also seems like more and more Seattle residents do not drive. Maybe that's better for visitors like me?

I don't get why people ask for advice on this forum and then dismiss everything that is offered to do what they wanted to do in the first place. Totally befuddles me. 
Also there are Zip and Car2Go rentals so that you can reduce costs and not worry about parking as much. Plus there is sidecar, uber, and Lyft.

If you are staying downtown Seattle then take the train from SEATAC airport, its super easy and inexpensive. You can call the Hyatt Place downtown when you arrive downtown on the airport train and the Hyatt will send a car for you to pick you up, its about a 5 minute wait. Worked really well for me. Or you could stay at the other Hyatt downtown hotels and they are walking distance.......take the airport train!

The question then becomes whether it pays to get a car to get to my non-downtown appointment. I'll have to look into that. At $35/day all in, the car is pretty cheap -- if I can find a place to park it by the hotel for less than $20.

I'll second the very easy public tranport info. I stayed here last fall. We took the light rail from the airport. It is a bit of a hike from the terminal to the the rail station. The $2.75 fare is correct. HP shuttle picked us up at Westlake within a few minutes of calling for them.

Hyatt Place Seattle REVIEW - MASTER THREAD
There were some cheap lots around the hotel until March. If you need to drive, you can probably kluge together parking for less than 20 bucks a day during the week. If you are there on a weekend it might be cheaper. AMZN uses this hotel like a flophouse during the week, so avail. Is tight.

Just had a stay last week for one night. Staff was great, shuttle was convenient (but the driver didn't really know where to go). Loved the rain shower.
However, some of the issues mentioned before are still problematic. Thermostat had a long set of instructions that we followed multiple times, but the settings didn't stick.
Those upgraded to the Space Needle side probably didn't have noise issues. Our room overlooked the Shell gas station and garish pink elephant car wash (I was on a points stay and no longer have status). I didn't hear street noise overnight (earplugs provided on the nightstand), but from 7 am to 9 am, I heard radio music or something, which I thought may have come from those businesses.

BTW, the free breakfast wasn't fantastic. Different, but not fantastic.

Planning on staying here this summer using VISA cert (Grand Hyatt and Olive 8 have no award availability) and taking the Link light rail down to Safeco field for a Mariners game. Any idea if the hotel shuttle picks-up / drops-off at the Link light rail station?

Going to be staying here from the 21-26. Not sure what to expect. HH was booked a lot faster so I missed out on booking there using award nights. Even at HP it seems pretty crowded as all the 2 queen standard rooms got booked. Is there something going on in Seattle?

Have you looked at the new Regency? I would definitely prefer a stay at the Regency over Hyatt Place.

Seattle just has a void of hotel rooms (though more are opening every month). If you are staying during the week; it is going to be packed. It is not far from Amazon HQ.
