Reviews
The hotel is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfortable beds, and friendly staff. It is also appreciated for its convenient location, particularly in relation to the Museum of Flight and various dining options. However, breakfast is a common point of contention, with many guests finding it lacking in variety and flavor. Additionally, some guests have experienced issues with noise, either from the freeway or other guests.

I loved everything about it. The only one complaint I have is that they need to have something else to drink not just coffee and need a variety of fruit not just apples

Before arriving, I called to let them know we would be checking in late. The woman I spoke with was very friendly and assured me it wouldn’t be an issue, which I appreciated. When we arrived late that night, the front desk attendant seemed a bit annoyed, but the check-in process itself was quick and easy. The room was okay but seemed like it may have been cleaned in a rush. One issue we noticed was the toilet seat wasn’t properly installed it would slam loudly every time you stood up (Room 209, second floor), which was a bit frustrating. In the morning, the front desk staff was much more welcoming and had a great attitude. The complimentary breakfast was a highlight everything was clean, well-organized, and had a good selection. The only downside there was that one of the breakfast staff wasn’t very friendly. Lady with all the gold jewelry and long eyelashes. Overall, we enjoyed our two-night stay. With a few small improvements in attention to detail and customer service consistency, this would be an excellent place to stay. I recommend this location.

The suite was a good size for our family. The breakfast is great. The pool was closed. The only reason we booked this stay was for the pool, we could have driven home or we could have gotten a cheaper hotel without a pool. We were told it would open in the morning and then it didn't and our stay was over. The room we were given had quite a bit of damage to the walls and carpet. We were worried the whole time we'd be blamed for the damage. (We took pictures upon arrival) The bed was pretty broken in feeling.

Everything about our stay was great.
- 0.5/5
Our stay was very disappointing from start to finish. After a long drive, we arrived at the hotel and received no greeting from staff. The lobby was extremely dark, which made the first impression even worse. When we got to our room, it was far too small—there was barely any space to move around. We then discovered the microwave wasn’t working. After calling the front desk, we were told there was no maintenance available, so we had to pack up again and move to another room. Unfortunately, the second room had its own issues. The phone and coffee maker were both not working, and the front desk staff said there was nothing they could do at that moment. The bathtub also had no anti-slip mat, which is a basic safety feature. When I requested one, I was initially told they don’t provide them, but after insisting, the staff eventually brought one. The next day, we requested the phone be repaired, as we are visiting from Canada without roaming, and having a working room phone is important in case of emergencies. A maintenance staff member came but said he couldn’t fix it—there was no follow-up or apology from management. Breakfast was another letdown. The dining area was too small for the number of guests, resulting in long lines, and the food (especially the eggs) was soggy and unappetizing. To make matters worse, the carpets throughout the hotel smelled strongly of smoke, which made the overall environment very unpleasant. Overall, the lack of maintenance, poor customer service, and cleanliness issues made this a very frustrating stay. I would not recommend this hotel.

Location. Free parking Nothing

Because we're locals, we know that petty theft can be a problem in the neighborhood. The parking lot was well lit, but still a concern.
- 3/5
Staff seemed to just be going through the motions but didn’t seem to really want to be there. It was also kind of unsettling that the front doors to the hotel were locked all the time unless you had a key. It made me feel uneasy about parking my car in the area overnight.

- 5/5
Great breakfast set up Nothing everything was great
- 2.5/5
It was very clean, and most of the staff members were very pleasant and helpful. The lobby was also the dining room and while trying to enjoy some quiet morning coffee, they were cleaning that area. We were not able to use the swimming pool because it was incredibly cold and small children were doing exactly as the signs said not to do. One of the breakfast ladies was pretty consistently unapproachable. Everything was nice and clean, but it was just not worth $350 a night.
- 5/5
The shuttle from SeaTac and to surroundings was a definite plus. The drivers and the front desk employees were personable and helpful. The room was comfortable for 5 adults and the breakfast was excellent with hot and cold options.

Room is okay but the problem is there are loud footstep above our room, we ask to be moved but FD is hesistant at first telling me that there is a lot of kids staying. But the running and walking above us is too much. Then they have us moved.

Had to change rooms at 3:30 in the morning because their heating system was so loud we couldn't sleep it was this terrible dripping noise condensation noise coming down the heater system I went down to the main desk and she finally admitted that they other customers were complaining and that they had gotten a new heating system so they moved us to a different room on the higher floor and then because of their new heating system their HVAC on the roof was so loud it was like a freight train so that kept us up for the rest of the night along with every time the heater fan would come on across the room from the thermostat that wasn't really compatible, you could tell, it would wake you up because it was so loud so I'm asking for my money back and I would not suggest anyone stay at this hotel they also lied to me the next day when I was supposed to get a call from the manager to take care of this and she did not call me and the girl at the desk when I called after I got home she blew me off and so I called Expedia and they expedited it for me and I should hear something back in 72 hours. I would not suggest anyone staying at that hotel. You will not get any sleep until they fix their huge issue.

Overall it was an average experience. For the price and location, I can't complain too much, but unfortunately I cannot rate it higher than 3 stars. If you show up an hour or 30 minutes before breakfast ends, they start running out of food, and they do not refill. My phone was ringing in the middle of the night for no reason. Also, I had water dripping outside of the AC unit right on the window ledge, making it a very loud and obnoxious sound even though it was not raining at all. When I arrived, I got the wrong room so I had to relocate. Again, overall I was content but not amazed by any means.

They canceled my prepaid reservation as a no show. I had contacted them from my cruise ship earlier in the week why I purchased 2 nights but would only be staying for one night. I was told by their front desk person that it would not be a problem. When I arrived it was a problem. The general manager insisted she did nothing wrong.

Nice facility, loud location. Sounded like an episode of Cops on a Saturday night. Bath towels were laughably small. That is unacceptable. Van driver was very helpful; great personality.

The staff at the front and the afternoon shuttle driver provided the upmost positive customer service experience! They were very helpful and went above and beyond to provide any assistance and information about the local area! Very clean facility and the breakfast was excellent! I will definitely recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Seattle and will definitely return in the future!

I communicated several times that I would be arriving late due to a delayed flight. Despite this, I was denied the ability to check in via mobile, and when I arrived at 2:30 a.m. with two young children, we were completely locked out of the hotel. There was no way to access the property, which was not only frustrating but dangerous. To make matters worse, the next morning I was shuttled to the wrong airport, creating even more stress and disruption. This experience was unacceptable, and I am requesting a full refund.

Waited 90 minutes- was supposed to be 20-30- hotel only 10 minutes away Staff was not helpful- lied - didnt offer solution or apologies Asked for manager and was told they would follow up and never did - no compensation or credit - would not depend on shuttle - rest of hotel ok

The staff were amazing and able to help our family of 7 get checked in earlier than planned! The rooms are a great size and very clean/maintained. Our only concern was the soundproofing of the rooms wasn't the greatest and you could hear what was happening in the halls (banging, talking, etc.) as if it was right in your room - if you have a quiet floor, this won't be an issue!
