Hi

I am first timer to Seattle. The hotel rates seem to be very high in Bellevue and Seattle. Not sure if it is seasonal thing. Anyways would you say staying near the airport may be a bad thing?

SeaTac (near the airport) isn't the best area. But it's also not ~terrible~ (you won't get shot), so it depends on what you're looking for. It might be harder to get a super professional gal to do an outcall to SeaTac, as it's an area that's largely avoided.  

Try neighborhoods outside of downtown Seattle, like more north, or if you're cool with the Eastside, Kirkland or Redmond instead of Bellevue.  

Feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss particular hotels - I used to stay in several Seattle area hotels that were nice, but still budget friendly.

Thanks for the response. Would you mind sharing your email contact?

I would try Airbnb or stay with a provider.

you pay for the convenience of being near airport not for the actual room. So yes, it is not convenient if you seek value for money. But if your priority is saving traveling time then this is how it is x

Well staying with provider is an option but can be way to expensive isn't lol. But I liked the thought. But the thought makes me curious  

Rates are high around Seattle/Bellevue area but on par for other large cities. You can stay down in Tukwila as they have some ok hotels (like the Hampton and Marriott) and save a few bucks. You may be fighting traffic though if you stay to far away from your destination

Try the Renton area...its close to both Seattle and Bellevue.

This is my first visit to but I've been talking to a lot of people and it looks like Bellevue is a happening place I hope so.
