Its quite a walk (20-30 mins) to downtown from the hotel but there is the seattle monorail for $4 roundtrip traveling between seattle center (a block or two next to hotel) and the middle of downtown. there is also public transit going from downtown to seatac airport. hope this helps.

You can always take the monorail to city center rather than walking.

it is walkable but also remember that Seattle has a free bus zone area. It looks like this is on Roy Avenue which is closer to the Belltown/Queen Anne area. For savings of $105 per night I think it would be worth it. Also, it's a new property as well.

Walkable from what? A quick google search shows that it is 1.4 miles walking from the Sheraton Seattle to the Four Points.

Just did back to back weekends at the Sheraton and W respectively, after 1 night stays at the Sheraton/Westin last year.
Westin clearly a step down from the previous two. W is fine (and has a great gym and easier parking as mentioned), but lacked the special W-ness of other properties. Amazing to say that the Sheraton is definitely the go-to property in this town!

This property is located well outside the free bus zone area. Best bet for transportation into the core downtown area would be the Monorail www.seattlemonorail.com which runs from Space Needle to the shopping district approx every 15min for $2 each way.

Quick one nighter...
I usually stay at the FS in Seattle...but I'm in and out for one night (with about 7 hours total at the hotel overnight) and decided I'll try something other than the FS. Silly to pay $500 a night for such a short stay when I won't be able to take advantage of really any aspect of the property (beyond the comfortable room).
I'm booked at the Sheraton for $159 a night. The Four Points is $127 a night. I'm indifferent as to the location.
I've never stayed at a Four Points before.
I think I'm probably best off staying at the regular Sheraton...but some reviews of the FP look pretty good. Should I go down a brand I try the Four Points?

If you have to stay in the downtown core, the Sheraton is far more convenient if don't have a car.
From what I've read on TripAdvisor, it looks like construction is still going on.

My favorite is still the Westin, I love the rooms and the staff is always top notch. It is also close to both light rail lines and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. If you want a great burger Relish inside the lobby is my favorite!

The Westin has been recently re-modeled but the wifi speeds are ridiculously slow. The suites are nice and generous in space. No idea about regular rooms. Still no lounge. I do find the service better here, though.
The Sheraton is showing its age but if you stay in the Union St Tower, those are much nicer (and newer). Sheraton has a lounge but it's nothing spectacular.
The 4P is the worst of the 3 and is always my last choice. In fact, I'd rather stay in Bellevue than the 4P.
Unless you're at the Convention Centre (which is beside the Sheraton), I'd just choose whichever gave you the best rate.

In August I will be coming in on a red eye for LIH. I will have one full day in Seattle before headed to Crater Lake the next day with my son. My key criteria:
1. Easy public transportation from the airport
2. Central to main sites and good food (will do the Needle)
3. Using points so not really interested in the W premium
