Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
Great hotel for night-before-flight sleepover. Comfortable and clean and helpful staff. My shuttle left prior to breakfast being served but i appreciated the to-go bag. I've booked ahead for a flight next month!

Coast Gateway Hotel
This property is close to the airport but surprisingly quiet. Room was a touch dated but had everything needed for an overnight stay. Shuttle service was great

Hotel Murano
The hotel is adequate but old and tired. The bathroom floor in our room needed attention. The room faced a busy street, and there was street noise during the night.
