Good post Eddie, but booking less than 10 days ahead, right around July 4th, I'm skeptical of one's ability to secure anything quality much under $200. Could happen though, doesn't hurt to look.

There are some DT hotels under $150, but the consumer reviews tend to be poor.

And, everyone's "walking distance" is different. If your willing to be 2 or more miles away one way, you'll be able to cut down the rate while maintaining the quality. Heck, if you willing to be 7-10 miles away, you can go under $100 I'm sure.

Your right, everyones walking distance does differ. The Sheraton is a pretty good walk. Always seems we walk to the games....but if we`re at the Sheraton or the Renaissance, we wind up taking a cab back. took the light rail when we were at the Sixth Ave Inn.

Thanks for the input guys, I checked out the silver cloud its goin for about 209 a night. 2 miles is definitly doable. Ill be sure to check out all the places that were mentioned.

Flying down? Alaska? Canada?

Actually the Alexis is a decent walk to the ballpark and close to Pike's Market etc. At this time of year they will be around $250-$275 and they include a $20 voucher against eats at their own restaurant.

"Boutique" style but always had good experiences there.

Alaska

Read the book years ago. Usual lowlife Zeppelin antics.

The Edgewater appears to be booked up on that date. Here's a list of hotels with their distances from Safeco Field:

We stayed at the Edgewater the last game we went to but the hotel is pricey. For a water room for 3 was about 350. And you have to valet park for 18 a day (this was in 2010 so it may be more now). We took the hotel shuttle to the game but they stop at 9pm so after the game we had to take a cab.
