Very pleasant stay. Staff was great, room was nice and clean. My room was on the backside of the hotel and I loved it. I could watch the planes take off. Restaurant next door had amazing food. Will keep coming back.

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North
This property is older, and shows it. But the staff was friendly and you can't beat the location. They picked us up promptly at the airport curb (late at night). Then the next morning it was an easy walk to the light rail station, and off we went.
