Hotel Interurban Seattle Airport SeaTac

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was nice"

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North

8/10 Good

"The location is right by the airport, and the shuttle service is very convenient. I wouldn't recommend ordering food at the restaurant, as it's expensive and not really worth the expense. A good place to stay for an overnight layover."

Best Western Seattle Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, comfortable beds, airport transportation, and a breakfast. The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. We arrived a hour before check in, and still were able to get our room then. The beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast begins at 3am, while the hot breakfast begins at 6am. There was an abundance of parking. We didn’t use the airport transportation, while leaving a car there, so I can’t say anything about that, but even the Park n Jet is only three miles from the hotel. My only issue was the reduced water pressure in the shower. I tried adjusting it, but I could not get it to quite feel like I was getting enough water pressure, to not have to spend extra time, rinsing my hair out. Overall, the hotel served its purpose, as a one night stop, before our 7am flight out."

Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"Angel helped check us in. He was super genuine and kind. He made checking in pleasant! He throughly went through all amenities for us and explained breakfast hours. Super clean when we walked in and rooms were also super clean and fresh smelling. You can tell they actually enjoy working there. Staff was amazing there. Angel is a perfect example of what your employee should present theirselves. Only down side for us was loud neighbors, we can hear them through the wall and young 18-22 I’m assuming in age with their “pre gaming.” We had an incident where around 11pm they must have pre gamed a little too hard and tried entering our room. Scared the wife and kids but luckily they didn’t come back."
