THIS IS A CONVENTION HOTEL - NO 4pm check-out for specialty rooms (e.g. corner rooms, suites), even if you're upgraded or purchased a specialty room. If you require 4pm check-out, you need to book the standard or high floor standard room.

As missydarlin mentioned, these two hotels are within 2 blocks of each other. The W is about 2.5 blocks the other way. Seattle downtown is very walkable no matter where you are or you can always ride the bus for free in the core area

I agree which is why I chose the Westin with the view to stay with my dad who had never been to Seattle.

I'm potentially staying at the Sheraton Seattle for one night later this month but will have a rental car - anyone know of nearby parking that isn't $34 a night? Thanks!!

There are streets 3-6 or more blocks NE of the Sheraton (Around 8th & 9th) where free overnight parking ('til 8 a.m.) is allowed. Be sure to check the signs posted on the block as some streets/spaces don't allow overnight. Many outdoor parking lots in that same area are available overnight for $5-$7.

I am also looking at this. One thing I am considering is taking the train from the airport to the hotel which works great and is cheap and then renting a car from Hertz for the day so that I do not have to pay for parking. There is a downtown Hertz in the Grand Hyatt which is only a few blocks away. I am thinking I could pick up and drop off both days I need a car and avoid the fee.

This is one major disadvantage of the Sheraton: there is virtually no on-street parking, even overnight, and all lots in the area charge $30+ for an overnight stay. This is why I often choose the Westin or W.

Actually, I think beckoa parked his beast of a rental directly across the street from the Sheraton at the last Sea Doo. You do have to bird-dog it though or just get lucky. However, once there, the outdoor staff at the Sheraton seem to be on-duty all night, so there probably isn't that much a problem with break-ins.

Really?! I have never had my car broken into while parking downtown - parking in my condo in my "good" neighborhood my car was broken into twice. Just don't leave anything in the car when parking.

Have had a number of stays at the Sheraton and Westin over the years and have had no problems with overnight street parking (uh-oh, just jinxed it!). As ldsant advises, I never leave any stuff in the car.
