Seattle Quality Inn
When looking for a place to stay the night before a cruise in Seattle. There are a few things you may want to keep in mind and look for.
1. Does the hotel have breakfast? (one last meal before hitting the all you can eat foods on the ship is very important)
2. Does the hotel have transportation to the cruise?
3. Is there enough activities within walking distance to keep you occupied the night before?
4. Are there any stores nearby so that you can pick up the item you forgot to pack on the cruise.
5. Is the hotel affordable and clean?
The Seattle Quality Inn fits this description and more. An excellent hot breakfast is served in the dining/kitchen room that will take care of you until you board the ship. You can reserve a seat on a cruise shuttle for a small fee and the cruise port is nearby. The Seattle Center is a couple blocks away and the downtown Seattle area is easy walking distance as well. With a Walgreens almost next door anything you forgot can easily be picked up. Yes if you book in advance you can receive a good rate and the hotel is clean and recently remodeled.
With all that said one item I did leave out was the service from the friendly staff. The staff made it a point to reach out to guests to assist them with directions and advice on activities in the area. The hotel is not the fanciest hotel or biggest hotel but for a pre cruise night stay this is the perfect place to be. I’m convinced as I will use the same facility again when in Seattle.
