Without a taxi or car, it's still easy to reach downtown. Those who don't mind walking can stroll one-half mile through Seattle Center to the monorail, an elevated train popular with tourists that provides direct service to the heart of the city for less than $5; in 90 seconds, riders arrive in Seattle's upscale shopping district. For about the same cost, other guests choose a Metro bus; several routes stop one block from the hotel and arrive downtown in 10 minutes. Once downtown, bus service in the large "ride free zone" links visitors to popular destinations, including Pike Place Market, the waterfront, historic Pioneer Square, and the International District.
