10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, staff weee friendly and it had a lot of parking. Coffee and water were available"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and eager to assist. The room was very clean. The sheet were soft and beds extremely comfortable. I appreciated that they had EV charging stations on site so I could charge my vehicle overnight. The continental breakfast was surprisingly generous with the number of items offered. For the price of the room I was impressed by the amenities and quality of the hotel. Great place to stay close to the airport."
