Staybridge Suites Federal Way - Seattle South by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was a surprisingly pleasant experience for my family. First off, the area has a lot of stores and restaurants for many preferences. Most places are actually within walking distant. The pool is small but well heated and clean. We had no issues with the room. Beds were comfy, black out curtains were a nice touch and the kitchen was a decent size along with the bathroom. Overall, the room was very clean and we had no problems. Lastly, the breakfast was above average for most hotels in this price point. There was a wide array of various items from waffles and pancakes, to biscuits and gravy and fresh fruit. The dining area was quite large as well and had plenty of comfy seats and couches. We would definitely stay here again"
