Coast Gateway Hotel
Front desk staff were quite rude and unhelpful. Shuttle was not running, we had to call for it and they were rude about both that process and while checking in.

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
Ruth working the front desk was exceptional. Very helpful and friendly. Room was okay. Needs a refresh and my mini fridge was noisy. But okay bang for your buck

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
This was a pre-flight stay, so we didn’t take advantage of any amenities. The room was nice, airport noise didn’t keep us awake. Convenient to SeaTac.

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center
The beautiful view of the harbour was the best part. The room is small - as expected - but very well laid out and convenient for a solo traveler. I will be back.
