During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Experience Music Project (EMP)
The brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen and designed by architect Frank Gehry, who is known for pushing the envelope of architectural design, this rock 'n' roll museum is a massive multicolored blob at the foot of the Space Needle. Originally planned as a memorial to Seattle native Jimi Hendrix, the museum grew to encompass not only Hendrix, but all of the Northwest rock scene (from "Louie Louie" to grunge) and the general history of American popular music.The most popular exhibits here (after the Jimi Hendrix room) are the interactive rooms. In one room you can play guitars, drums, keyboards, or even DJ turntables. In another, you can experience what it's like to be onstage performing in front of adoring fans. Another exhibit focuses on the history of guitars and includes some of the first electric guitars, which date from the early 1930s.Regularly scheduled concerts are held in the museum's main hall, known as the Sky Church. To help you get the most out of your visit (and at $20 per ticket, you certainly expect plenty), every visitor is issued a Museum Exhibit Guide (MEG), a hand-held electronic player filled with recorded audio clips explaining the various exhibits. Give yourself plenty of time to explore this unusual museum.

Pacific Science Center
Although its exhibits are aimed primarily at children, the Pacific Science Center is fun for all ages. The main goal of this sprawling complex at Seattle Center is to teach kids about science and to instill a desire to study it. To that end, there are life-size robotic dinosaurs, a butterfly house and insect village (with giant robotic insects), a Tech Zone where kids can play virtual-reality soccer or challenge a robot to tic-tac-toe, and dozens of other fun hands-on exhibits addressing the biological sciences, physics, and chemistry. The August Bubble Festival is always a big hit. There's a planetarium for learning about the skies (plus laser shows for the fun of it), plus an IMAX theater. Be sure to check the schedule for special exhibits when you're in town.

Seattle Center
If you want to keep the kids entertained all day long, head to Seattle Center. This 74-acre cultural center and amusement park stands on the northern edge of downtown at the end of the monorail line. The most visible building at the center is the Space Needle, which provides an outstanding panorama of the city from its observation deck. However, of much more interest to children are the Fun Forest (tel. 206/728-1586; www.funforest.com), with its roller coaster, log flume, merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, arcade games, and minigolf; the Children's Museum ; and Seattle Children's Theatre (tel. 206/441-3322; www.sct.org). This is also Seattle's main festival site, and in the summer months hardly a weekend goes by without some special event filling its grounds. On hot summer days the International Fountain is a great place for kids to keep cool (bring a change of clothes).

Cheap, but a step up from most Best Western Hotels

Stephanie, Pittsburgh, PA

The Best Western Executive Inn in Seattle was a bit nicer than expected. The room included a spacious table to work on, and had wireless internet. One of my colleagues found herself stranded, and I was able to let her stay in my room at no extra cost. The bathrooms were clean, and the room service was adequate. The hotel is just a few blocks away from a post office and grocery store, in addition to Seattle landmarks like the Space Needle and Experience Music Project. It is also within walking distance of larger hotels that may host shuttle busses to the convention center, during major conference. I was there for the American Library Association Midwinter Conference in 2005, and quite pleased with the location. There is a nice crepes and coffee restaraunt nearby, and the hotel is even within a reasonable walking distance of Pike Place Market and the Seattle Public Library. Great choice, and quite affordable. They also have cookies, coffee and fruit in the lobby at all times, and a small workout room!

Okay place to stay

Susan

The Best Western Executive Inn was very close to the Space Needle and Seattle Center. It was also a short walk to the Glass Blowing Studio. It was a longer trek to the Seattle Public Market, Seattle Museum, and the nicer stores and restaurants. Although the neighborhood is not distressed, I would not walk by myself in the area after dark. The hotel was not luxurious, but it was clean and comfortable. The management promoted environmentally friendly practices. Instead of providing packets of soap, shampoo, etc., there were soap dispensers located about the sink and in the shower stall. There was a separate wastepaper basket for recyclables. The hotel was in the process of renovations. To get to the restaurant, you had to walk outside instead of going through a hall off the lobby. The restaurant was not fancy, but it was clean and the food was good. They served breakfast all day. When I checked in, I asked for change for a twenty. There were four fellows at the desk, and one said that I needed to go to a nearby bar or store to get change. None of the four fellows offered to help with my bags, so I asked if I could use the bellboy cart and take up my own bags. They said that would be fine. I wondered if they would have offered to help if I had change for a tip! The hotel provided free apples and coffee in the lobby during the morning. Interesting fact: a bus that leaves for Canada stops at this hotel's parking lot. In the morning, a number of people going to Canada wait in the lobby for the bus. The Federal Naturalization and Immigration Office is also a few blocks from this hotel

Hit or miss

Depending on your proximity to the dumpster and if they dump bottles in it at 0200hrs you may or maynot enjoy your stay. The room was fine but the outside noise can be a bit much. Of course I had the misfortune to be there as the flooring was being replaced in both the lounge and dining area. The fresh cookies in the afternoon are a nice touch. Overall I would try it again just make sure you are on the space needle side of the hotel.

Comfortable and convenient

Anonymous, Portland, OR, 2007-02-26

The Seattle Center is just a block away, and there are many places to explore and event venues such as the EMP located within its boundaries. Lots of food stalls, too.

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and have even hosted conferences there. Reliable staff and facilities keep me coming back. The hotel has seen better days and seems to be on the decline as far as upkeep is concerned, but the service remains consistent. I did encounter a couple minor irritations: the pillows in the guest rooms are shot and are in desperate need of replacement with some quality pillows - just an issue I am a stickler about. Also, I needed copies of the itemized receipts for my room service charges and the staff seemed confused as to how to deal with that request.

Great location and view of the Space Needle. And Eco-friendly!

Anonymous, Portland, OR, 2007-02-19

Leave your car behind, take the short 2 block walk to the Seattle Center, and hop on the Monorail to explore the best of Downtown Seattle and the WaterFront by foot!

I would definitely recommend the BW Executive Inn for anyone who plans to visit the Space Needle and Seattle Center. Our room was very clean & spacious, and we had an awesome view of the Space Needle (My 5 year old loved going to bed seeing the Space Needle all lit up just outside our window, and waking up to see it again in the morning!) It was a quick walk (2 blocks!) from the hotel to the Seattle Center, and we were able to leave our car at the hotel the whole time while we went up to the Space Needle, toured the museums, rode the Monorail to the Westlake center, walked to the Pike Place Market and down to the waterfront! Overall, we did not spend much time at the hotel or in our room, but after a full day and evening of touring Seattle by foot, it was fun to take the Monorail back to Seattle Center and get back to comfort and safety of our room in a short hop, skip and jump! The front desk staff was very friendly, and even the cleaning ladies greeted us with a smile as we walked the halls to our room. And I was impressed with the Eco-Room features...makes me feel that Best Western shares our concerns about taking better care of the earth and not contributing to excessive waste and energy use! We will definitely stay here again!

Good value. The wireless internet connection was low at one point but overall good. The view was great-the Space Needle was just outside my window. I will definitely stay there next time I am in town.

good location

Lise, Salt Lake City, UT, 2007-02-04

Take advantage of the cheap parking hotel provides and utilize public transportation.

We thought that the location was great to get around town. So close to the Seattle Center and just hop on the monorail to get to downtown. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The room is a eco room and I was not thrilled with the shower head but my husband liked it. So that would really be a matter of preference. Overall it was a nice experience.
