My husband and I stayed at the Silver Cloud Inn for two nights at the start of a little west coast road trip we were doing. We were traveling on one of the busiest weekends in Seattle apparently because they had the Bumbershoot festival going on, two openers for sporting events, and the PAX convention I think. As a result when trying to book a hotel downtown there really wasn't anything. We ended up booking on hotwire and lucked out with the SIlver Cloud Inn. The hotel is located in Lake Union so not really downtown but really close to downtown. The hotel also has a complimentary shuttle that drops off at several different locations downtown. You can call the shuttle once you are ready to come back and they will come out to get you so it pretty much eliminates even having to take cabs. And it's only a few minutes away from the downtown area. They serve a complimentary continental breakfast each morning which was pretty good. Had a couple different waffle irons for use to make your own waffles, muffins, bagels, eggs, bacon/sausage, cereal, coffee, tea, and juice. The breakfast area is on the 3rd floor and overlooks Lake Union. It was nice to be able to grab something for breakfast before heading on our way each morning. Also, another plus was that the hotel has free parking so we were able to park our rental car for free. Between the free parking and then being able to utilize the shuttle, it was definitely a savings because if we had ended up staying downtown I'm sure we would've ended up paying for parking.
