Transportation
Bus Service During Spring Thaw
- The first bus on Friday
will leave the hotel at 6:45 pm, going directly to the Cuff Complex in
time for the country-western dance lessons, and then back to the
Hotel. From 7:30–10:30 pm on Friday, the bus will loop from
the Hotel to Medgar Evars Pool, and other participating
locations. After 10:30 pm, the Pool will be dropped from the
schedule.
- On Saturday morning, bus
loop is from the Hotel to the Lunch Cruise. After the Cruise, bus
loops will go both between the Hotel/Cruise, and the Hotel/Cuff
Complex/Steamworks route, until all attendees on the cruise have been
picked up. On Saturday night after 8:00 pm, the bus loops
continuously between the Hotel, the Cuff Complex, and Steamworks.
- Last bus each night leaves
from the Cuff Complex at 2:30 am.
Getting to the Hotel from Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport
- Link Light Rail costs $2.75 each way and is
available directly from SeaTac Airport, leaving every 10-15 minutes and
takes about 35 minutes. Exit at University Street Station, and
the Renaissance Hotel is just 5 blocks away.
- Bus
service costs $4.75 each way, takes an hour, and requires one transfer
and a 6 block walk. Be aware that the buses in Seattle can get
quite
crowded making carrying luggage on the bus a rather trying
experience.
See the Metro Trip Planner.
- Downtown
Airporter costs $12.50 per person each way, leaves the airport
every 30 minutes, and takes about 50 minutes but goes directly to the
hotel.
- Taxi
Service costs around $40. Follow signs from baggage claim —
you'll
take the skybridge to the fourth floor of the parking garage, then to
the third floor for the taxis. Don’t forget to buckle up!
- Shuttle service is
available for $15 one way, or $25 round trip if you book in advance.
See ShuttleExpress.com
for details.
Amtrak
- If you're coming from Vancouver or Portland,
the train may be a
better option than flying. King Street Station is about a mile
from
the hotel. Check Amtrak for
details.
Driving
- Driving from the South:
take exit 164A to Madison Street and turn left. The hotel is on
the corner of Madison and 6th.
- Driving
from the North: take exit 164 to 6th St. Turn left on Cherry,
left on
7th, and left again on Madison. The hotel is on the corner of
Madison
and 6th.
Getting Around Seattle
On-site valet parking is
available at the Renaissance Hotel, at their regular rate of $36 per
day. You may want to explore nearby parking garages and surface
lots for lower rates.
Street parking in downtown
Seattle and on Capitol Hill can be a challenge on a good night.
Consider using the bus system, carpooling, or taking a taxi! (Or
even walk, if the weather is nice!) Most locations you want to go
to are only a few dollars ride away from each other.
