Top Central Tacoma Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"Love everything about this place. Clean, quiet, convenient."

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

8/10 Good

"Stayed 1 night prior to an early morning flight out of SEA. The room was comfortable and quiet! We arrived too late and left too early to use the pool or to need a meal at the restaurant, so can't comment on those items. We took the shuttle to the airport, which was fine. Frankly, though, it is close enough to the terminal to walk, unless your flight check-in is at the far end of the terminal, such as Alaska Airliines. There are some fast food restaurants across the busy road in front of the hotel, as well as at least one nicer Thai restaurant. The parking lot area is dark and the sidewalk on the main road is not illuminated very well. Still, the area was clean and felt safe to be walking to those restaurants in the early evening. Parking costs over $30 per night. Seems like a decent place to stay for a night, but I'd look elsewhere if you are planning a longer stay as there's not much around oriented towards tourists, and getting into downtown Seattle will take you an hour on the light rail and probably cost $30-$40 in an Uber or taxi."
