Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, and the whole place has been recently renovated, the room was awesome, plus a continental breakfast, and the rates were unbelievable! Great experience and will definitely stay here again the next time i’m in town."

Quality Inn SeaTac Airport-Seattle

8/10 Good

"Staff is very friendly and attentive, especially Anya, Tanya and Loki at Front desk Guest Services. The daily breakfast is very satisfying to start your day off. Coffee, water and tea available throughout the day. Shuttle service for pickup and drop off to the airport, every half-hour is convenient for guests. Rooms could use some upgrades but overall, it’s rates our reasonable."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Seattle Sea-Tac Airport

8/10 Good

"Only one elevator working which was a pain, no ice on 3rd or 4th floor. Finally found some on 2nd. One washer and dryer for the whole place. Breakfast was not too bad. Room was fine, bed comfortable, good pillows and bedding. Only stayed one night. It sufficed."

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

8/10 Good

"This property is huge and surprisingly quiet considering its location in bustling SeaTac. I have stayed here twice in the last two weeks. Both instances were due to flight issues that left me stranded in Seattle. They have rooms available when other properties are booked. I would love to plan a stay at this property because it seems like it has a lot to offer: pool, spa, restaurant, etc."
