Radisson Hotel Seattle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Was so convenient"

Best Western Seattle Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We wanted a place near the airport with clean facilities, activities to do on our long layover, and easy airport transport. This delivered very well. We especially appreciated the very prompt communication -- we got text messages about the shuttle to help us track progress! And since our flight arrived early in the morning, we were stunned when we were allowed to check in at 10am instead of the published 2pm. This gave us some great and needed rest time. We enjoyed the game room with ping pong and foosball, which is unique for hotels. There are numerous hangout spots throughout the hotel, so we had places to be during the day. We hoped to use the pool and hot tub, but they were closed for maintenance that day. The room was clean, staff were professional and absolutely kind and helpful. The continental breakfast 3-9am was decent, and they add hot items at 6am. Overall a good experience and a good value."
