Went down to Seattle with our kids and another couple just on a short trip from Vancouver for a few days last month. Chose the Hyatt at Olive 8 based on good reviews on TripAdvisor, then booked via Expedia.ca (whose rate we found through the TripAdvisor search engine -- gotta love TripAdvisor!). The Hyatt had no "2 Queen" rooms left at our promo rate ($162 Cdn/night), but we got a King plus rollaway bed, which worked fine for my husband & I and our two 9 year olds. Check in was fast and easy and the front desk, bell and concierge staff were all very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the fact that the hotel is LEEDS-certified (hopefully, more hotels go this route). Well-designed rooms were a nice mix of comfort and modernity and the pool area was lovely (no outside access though). Didn't use the fitness room, but it looked beautiful -- spacious, bright and with great equipment. Great location close to main shopping area, with Pike Place Market/waterfront about a 10-15 minute walk away. The only negative thing about the Olive 8 was crazily expensive overnight parking (I think $30/night or more, which seems to be the norm in downtown Seattle) but we found nearby street & lot parking. Would definitely return to the Olive 8!
