Hi--Thought I'd throw in another suggestion. Like lianajerry said above, there are no hotels near the pier site. The closest you would get would probably be the Edgewater, however, it is probably the most expensive hotel in Seattle (easily about $250). If you are looking for something just for late afternoon/evening for the night before, Lake Union is also a very pretty place to stay that is close to downtown but usually much cheaper--it is located just northeast of Seattle Center area (about a mile away). I have stayed at both the Courtyard by marriott and the Silver Cloud there--both are very new, and right across the street from some excellent restaurants and shops, plus Lake Union is beautiful. It would probably only be about a 5-10 minute cab ride to the cruise ship from there. If you are going to have to take a cab anyways, I'd probably opt to stay here for a lot less than downtown. I think you can usually get rates for these from 110-130 a night. Most of the directly downtown hotels that are nice are usually about $150-200. If you chose to stay there I could give you some tips on restaurants--some of the best seafood restaurants in the city are there, along with some much more casual restaurants as well!
