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

8/10 Good
"Overall, our bedroom and the breakfast area were clean and well kept. However, the TV remote in our room was a bit sticky when we first used it, indicating that it was not cleaned as much as it should have been. Furthermore, I don't like how the shower stall does not have a sliding door or curtain to prevent water from splashing out onto the bathroom floor. This was my main concern. Ultimately, the shower stalls inside the bathroom should have curtains or doors to cover. Otherwise, I enjoyed this hotel."
