HotelChatter || Pacific Northwest Hotel Guide :: A Family Package That Rocks at the Mayflower Park in Seattle

HotelChatter contributing editor Tim Leffel is moving around the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. and Canada, seeing the hotel scene from a family travel perspective. If you have a question about where to stay in the region, hit us on the tipline, or just comment below, and we will do our best to get you some sort of answer. Enjoy.

Seattle's Mayflower Park Hotel first opened in 1927, built for $750,000 and in a move that was rare at the time, all 240 rooms had their own baths.

On the downside, this was during prohibition, so the current bar was then a drugstore. Double rooms ran from $3.50 to $7 and suites topped out at $10 during peak periods.

You will pay $289 a night a now for a suite under the "Family Fun Package," but in today's dollars, it's a good deal. For that price you get a true suite--as in put the kids in a different room--and some quality extras.

The package includes valet parking, goody bags for two kids, four monorail tickets, and two adult and two children tickets to either the Space Needle or the Experience Music Project.

We recommend the latter so everyone can rock out and so you can spend your time enjoying a fine museum rather than waiting to go up and down a giant elevator.

While this is a historic hotel, the stuffiness is kept to a minimum and the staffers make both the parents and the tykes feel welcome. The Mayflower Park is in a prime spot of town, right next to the monorail station and just a few blocks' walk from Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium.
