Sleeping
Seattle has a trio of reputable hostels, one in downtown, one in Belltown and a new one
in Fremont. Aside from dorms, they also offer economical private rooms. You'll find few
good hotels for under $100 a night unless you're willing to share a bathroom/toilet. For
some good bargains in the $100 to $120 range, look around in Belltown and Lower
Queen Anne. There has been a recent increase in boutique hotels, especially those run
by Pineapple Hospitality. Capitol Hill has some excellent B&Bs. Big chains and more ex-
pensive options characterize downtown.
