Seattle - good place to stay

[SewnFlesh]

anybody know a good place to stay in Seattle thats close to the Clipper terminal?

Green Tortoise hostel. Clean, well run, safe and if you're down for rooming with other folks only about $35 a night. Across the street from Pike St. Market and just a few blocks away from the clipper. That's my usual spot when I'm in Seattle.

I echo Willa's recommendation. I stayed there once and it was ok. I mean...it's a hostel, but the location is awesome, it's cheap, and they let you make your own breakfast in the morning. I had like 4 eggs.

And for a hostel, it's pretty damn nice. No rats, most of the people I've met there have been super nice and not thieves, and you can buy food and make it in their large kitchen. Plus, they have the slowest internet connection on earth. Last time I was using it I was flashbacking to 1996 and my old 56k modem.

thanks Willa.. i've stayed here before too but I can't sleep in a room with snoring stangers. was hoping somebody might have a dive hotel near downtown that was cheap.

Totally cool! Wish I knew of a dive motel.

Can't remember the name, but there's a cheap dive hotel by the Moore Theater that I've stayed at a couple times. Should be easy to find with a bit of internet sleuthin'.

hey thanks Andrew... it looks like the Moore hotel is right near there and its pretty cheap. Does that ring a bell?

Could be the place. You can see it from the door of the Moore Theater, if there aren't any other really close hotels to the theater that's the one.

i've heard good things but I don't think its really a solution for this trip. I'll be at a show until 1-2 AM then leaving the next morning at 6 AM... also not confirmed how many people i'll be travelling with.

you need a place to crash for 4 hours? hit a coffee shop for a few hours and nap on your trip home.

you never know with couchsurfing. we have had guests that we have hosted like that which we would be fine with.

I also never like to get actual rooms so the first time before i knew people i just made a post on nwhardcore.com asking if anyone had a place to crash. Some people are pretty good about that.
