Suggestions while visiting Seattle?

Question

What are some hotel suggestions while staying in Seattle? I've seen people ask this question before and wanting some advice on picking a hotel. What most of the people asking the question said they were looking for something cheap. I honestly am not too worried about price since I'm going on vacation and would like to have a nice experience. I've been told at night, downtown Seattle can get a bit sketchy? Just want to make sure that the hotel I'm staying at is safe if we're walking around. 

I was thinking about renting a car while visiting. Do you think it's necessary? I will be staying four days. 

What are some restaurant recommendations? What time do restaurants usually close during the weekends? What are your favorite bars? What time do the bars close?

I know I have lots of questions and I do appreciate any input you have. Thank you in advance for your help. 

Please only answer with your own experience. I can easily look up on google too.

The Westin Hotel is near downtown Seattle. Here is the website: http://www.westinseattle.com/
I stayed there once many years ago. It was nice..and assuming it still is. Not too far from Pikes Place Market and all the downtown attractions. Downtown Seattle like every big city is going to be sketchy at night. It is not as bad as other big cities. I lived in Seattle and always felt safe. Just use common sense. You could rent a car if you want. It all depends where and what you want to see. They do have a decent bus system and now there is a light rail from Sea-Tac all the way downtown which is really nice. If you want to travel to places like Mount Rainier then a car would be more convenient. Can't tell you about bars..not my thing..sorry.. but I'm sure the hotel could recommend some good ones and some good restaurants as well. There are lots of restaurants downtown. If you like fish, Ivars down by the pier is a good. There is a fast food one and also a nice sit down one right next door. Good luck and have fun!

Don't rent a car, seattle is way to complicated to drive in, or at least i think so.  And i stayed at the Hyatt once, which is near pike place market, and it was a really nice hotel. Oh ya, and don't forget to bring an umbrella, haha.
