Hi Idsant, or any SEA local folks,
I'm going to stay Sheraton-Westin in begining of July, and have a few questions about Parking.
(I stayed Sheraton and W a few times before, used parking.)
Q1. My last stay at Sheraton Seattle, massive construction was on-going, and they said dur to construction they had valet parking only (no self parking). Is it still the case? I mean, is construction over and self parking allowed now ?
Q2. I never been Westin Seattle before - Do they have self parking? How much is valet? (Well, I guess I'll call Hotel directly about this later,)
How easy/difficult to do self park at Westin Seattle, compared to Sheraton Seattle?
Thanks,

Yes, the Westin has both self-park and valet parking. It will run you approximately $30 per day.

Thank you for your advice and update.

Was debating among the Seattle properties and finally found this thread.
The current Break Free promo is offering some stellar rates (alas non-ref) for these properties: Sheraton @ $125/nt and Westin or W @ $149/nt.
The Sheraton is very tempting, but I will probably go with the Marriott Waterfront as they have treated me well in the past and are closer to the tourist attractions.

Any advice for Seattle Area?
Hi,
I will be staying in the Seattle area for a weekend with my family. I have already tried Sheraton Bellevue and Sheraton Downtown. The second is not good for families. Any experiance with the "W" or the Westin?

I just got back from there and stayed two nights at the Sheraton Seattle hotel (1400 6th Ave) and two nights at the Westin (1900 5th Ave). Both hotels were very nice. Only downside to Sheraton was they only had valet parking, but everything else were great. We valet at Weston, but not sure if that was the only option or not. Had an amazing upgrade at the Westin, so was extremely happy. When I go back in a few weeks, I'm sticking with these two.

If you look at the top of the SPG forum page you will see a sticky called "The SPG Forum FAQ & Hotel Master Thread Links ". In that sticky there is a general thread for which Seattle hotel is better along with master threads for the W, Westin, etc. Those should be very helpful for you and contain lot's of experience and wisdom on the W and Westin as asked.

It's not indicated if you've done a search for Seattle properties, here on Flyertalk. Just so you know, if you do a search (located on the dark blue bar) using the word "Seattle" you find previous information on the various Seattle properties.
You can then open up any of those threads and review them (by date if you chose to do so) and ask any additional questions you might have. Someone will be sure to post a response. You'll need to hang out here on flyertalk for a while and use the search feature a dozen or so times before you start to get the feel of things, but remember, the search feature is your friend
Here are three Seattle threads to get you started.
Seattle Area General Discussion Thread (Where to stay? Which hotel is better? etc.)
Westin Seattle [Master Thread]
W Hotel Seattle [Master Thread]
Please let us know where you decide to stay and be sure to come back and tell us about the experience.

stayed @ all 3 *woods
Sheraton- very nice & clean.
W- good but don't get the 4th floor that faces the street. I head every bus from 430 AM & ON!!!
Westin- very nice, too. Got an amazing upgrade to Cascade suite. 3 adjoining rooms. Slept in one, made coffee in the other, & ironed my shirt in the living room!!
For me its a coin toss btwn the Sheraton & Westin.

Why do you think S/Downtown is not family friendly? It has a great club lounge, if you get access, which can save you a ton of money if you're traveling with kids. Also, the pool on top is good. It's also located in the heart of things. I would think the W and Westin are even less family friendly.

If you are asking "Which Seattle *wood is best," then I agree with some others - W Seattle, but it all depends what do you expect to *wood, and each person's expectation is different, based on member level, how much to spend, etc.
But I know you are asking "Which Seattle *wood has the best location ??"
This also depends on what will you do, where will you go, whether you use public transportation or rental car, etc.
In either case, if you do simple search, type "Seattle" on "Search this Forum", you will find a few useful threads including "Seattle Properties - MASTER THREAD".
or Seattle: Westin or Sheraton?
I usualy don't throw "Do search first" line but in this case the question is too ambiguous and has too much dependency, I think nobody but yourself can help...

Will be in Seattle 1 night Saturday 4/26 as SPG Gold. Between the 3 properties, only the W and the Sheraton are in my price range ($159 and $179 respectively) - any comments on these? I mostly stay at LM and haven't liked the 1 Sheraton (Bellevue) I've stayed at. Not familiar with W very much. I'd like to know if I might get upgraded, and if so to what. Location doesn't matter too much. I appreciate any recent feedback.
If location doesn't matter then go with the less expensive one so you can spend it on a good meal and good wine

I was wrong about Sheraton Seattle. I have tried the W first... It was fancy as expected, but the only upgrade I've gotten (on a weekend) was a higher floor! There was no club lounge. No breakfast coupon. No coffie in the room. Worst of all, no swimming pool. I have checked out and I went to the Sheraton. The room was as fancy, and yes they gave me a nice upgrade. My son loved the pool, and I have tried the club lounge too... It seems as it is the best choice.
- A club lounge? Lounges are only at Sheraton, Westin and Le Meridien Brands
- A pool?
- A breakfast coupon? It's not a part of the SPG program, although there are select properties that give coupons on occasion.

We prefer the Sheraton Seattle. I found the Westin to be a little tired and not as well located. Great upgrades and terrific Club Lounge. I also prefer the traditional rooms as opposed to the Deluxe (higher floors but older rooms). I find they have better views and they're closer to the Lounge. The only drawback at the Sheraton is the high fee for parking....I believe it was $35 daily last time I was there. Have fun!
