I'm ill prepared to answer some of the questions (e.g., I've never stayed in any hotels in Seattle, so I don't know the "best" one). But I'm trying to distribute whatever information I can dig up. Your best bet is to call the Seattle Convention and Visitors Bureau - that's where I've been getting most of my information: (206) 461-5800. Here is some of the information I've collected. Also note that the printed Advance Program has a map of the downtown area, showing the relative locations of the hotels and conference center: The Sheraton, Roosevelt, and Hilton are all very close to the Convention Center, the others are a bit farther away (but none more than about 9 blocks, according to the map). 1) How to find a bed and breakfast in Seattle. Call Pacific Bed & Breakfast Agency: (206) 784-0539 Travelers Reservation Service : (206) 232-2345 2) The Sheraton Hotel vs. the Sheraton Towers. The Towers are the upper floors of the Hotel.
