Any advice for where to sleep near King St. Station in Seattle, PLEASE

Hello, Everybody

I'm going take Coast Starlight from LA to SEA, then connect to Empire Builder to CHI.

I know that it's difficult to predict whether train #14 will reach SEA on time, so

I have some questions:

- If the train arrives on time, or not too late...

Are there any hotel located close to King St. Station?

- If the train arrives way too too late i.e., before dawn...

Can I just wait, or take a nap, at the station?

Thank you in advance for your advice

Haven't checked in a a long time but I think the official OT arrival is two close for a connection. So you will need some where to stay.

At one time in route to Canada, I had located a hotel that over looked the rail lines for $50.00 per night, within one block, but that was 4years ago, so don't remember the name.

Another Time in connecting from the northbound Starlight to the Eastbound Zephyr I spent 4 hours at the Denney's restaurant in Emeryville. I asked and they said no problem, Gave me a booth in the back and woke me with breakfast. Realy nice staff there. Might be able to do the same thing in Seattle depending on times

Good Luck

I took the EB two years ago from Seattle. At that time they were in the process of renovating the station. The seats aren't very comfortable and you'd have a hard time taking a nap. About a block or so from the station there was a touristy area where you could walk around for an hour or so while waiting for the EB to depart. I can't remember what they called the area, but it had some shops and a small museum.

I stayed at a hotel near downtown Seattle and took a cab back to the station.

My wife and I stayed at the Best Western Pioneer Square hotel. It is a reasonable 6 block walk from the station but the weather was nice and it was daylight. Bit pricey($150) but clean and safe area. It is located across the street from the waterfront restuarants and shops. Someone on this forum spoke of the Moore hotel($75), about a block from the Pike Place Market. I don't know about its quality or the cab fare needed. Metro busses in the "gold/yellow zone" are free( need a tourist map). I don't know if baggage is permitted on board the bus. Jim

Check out the Silver Cloud Hotel Stadium. It is certainly not cheap, but is a very nice hotel with a great free breakfast. Me and my family stayed there a couple months ago, and it is within walking distance of the train station.

Seattle is a wonderful city but not that huge. My wife and I stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel last September and I VERY highly recommend it. Great location, corner of 6th and Seneca. Easy walk to the waterfront, Pike St. Market, etc. A block away from the main library. We loved it and I got a pretty good rate by searching around the net. It is only a mile or so from the station. It seems to me the cab was less than $10 for the two of us including tip. Hope this helps.
