DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
"Would be better if rooms had refrigerator/microwave as a standard. Parking fees were exhorbitant. Again Expedia booking was not beneficial... overall stay and options would have been better served by booking direct. This seems to be a common thread nowadays with Expedia."
