If you are traveling from UB's campus in Buffalo to Seattle for conferences, research partnerships, or recruiting events, hotel costs in downtown Seattle add up fast. Corporate code 100232108 gives University of Buffalo staff a discounted rate at La Quinta Seattle Downtown, and the Wyndham Rewards points you earn on every stay effectively shave off even more. It is one of the few mid-tier options in central Seattle where UB's negotiated rate actually makes a noticeable difference on your per diem.
The Property
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Seattle Downtown sits at 2224 8th Ave, in the Belltown neighborhood just north of the downtown core. You are about a 10 minute walk to the Space Needle and a short stroll to dozens of restaurants along 1st and 2nd Avenue. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is roughly 19 minutes by car, or about 23 km, with light rail also available from Westlake Station a few blocks south.
Rooms here are standard La Quinta fare, meaning clean and functional with a work desk, free Wi-Fi, and a coffee maker in every room. Expect king or double queen configurations, with some suites offering a small sitting area that is useful for longer stays. The property holds a solid 4.1 rating across nearly 1,500 reviews, which puts it above average for the brand in a major metro.
La Quinta properties include complimentary breakfast every morning, which is a real cost saver when downtown Seattle coffee shops charge $7 for a latte and a pastry. There is a small fitness center on site for early morning workouts before meetings. No airport shuttle here, but the property's central location means rideshares to SEA-TAC typically run $25 to $35.
The hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the Washington State Convention Center, making it practical for academic conferences and industry events held there. Pike Place Market is roughly a mile south on foot, and you will find dozens of lunch spots along Denny Way and Westlake Avenue. The Westlake light rail station is a few blocks away, giving you direct access to the University of Washington campus and the airport without renting a car.
Your Savings Breakdown
| Rate Tier | Rack Rate | Corporate Rate | Points Earned | Point Value | Net Cost | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $170 | $145 | 1,450 pts | $7.25 | $137.75 | $32.25 |
| Superior | $280 | $238 | 2,380 pts | $11.90 | $226.10 | $53.90 |
| Premium | $450 | $383 | 3,830 pts | $19.15 | $363.85 | $86.15 |
On a typical night where the rack rate is around $280, the University of Buffalo corporate code brings it down to about $238, a 15% discount. You will earn 2,380 Wyndham Rewards points on that stay, which are worth roughly $11.90 at the program's 0.5 cents per point valuation. That puts your effective net cost at $226.10, meaning you are saving about $53.90 compared to booking at the public rate without points factored in.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold Wyndham Rewards Gold or Platinum status, those perks apply on top of the corporate rate. Gold members get a 10% bonus on points earned, while Platinum members get a 15% bonus plus room upgrade availability at check-in. Even Diamond status, which is attainable after 40 qualifying nights, stacks with this code and adds early check-in and late checkout when the hotel can accommodate it.
The Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus card from Barclays earns 5x points per dollar on Wyndham stays, which would push a $238 night to 1,190 bonus card points on top of your 2,380 base points. If you do not want a co-branded card, the Capital One Venture and Chase Sapphire Preferred both code hotel stays at 2x to 5x their own points, giving you a secondary rewards earn. Either way, always pay with a card that bonuses hotel spend rather than a flat-rate cashback card.
Wyndham periodically runs promotions offering bonus points for consecutive night stays or stays at specific brands, and these almost always stack with corporate codes. Booking midweek, especially Tuesday through Thursday, tends to yield the lowest base rates in Seattle, which means your 15% corporate discount applies to an already lower number. Check the Wyndham Rewards promotions page before your trip and register for any active offers, as they require opt-in but cost nothing.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and day of the week, University of Buffalo employees using code 100232108 at this La Quinta can expect to save somewhere between $32 and $86 per night after accounting for the rate discount and Wyndham Rewards point earnings. The Belltown location, free breakfast, and walkability to Seattle's key business and conference areas make it a practical pick for work trips. It is not a luxury stay, but for mid-range downtown Seattle lodging on a university budget, the math works out well.
