Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
Friendly staff, clean and quiet. Nice breakfast buffet assortment. I would stay here again. I told the lady at the front desk that I was hoping to take a nice, hot bath, so she found me a room with a tub. Also, the shuttle driver was really cheerful and made for a great start to the day.

Coast Gateway Hotel
Definitely a little dated, but it seemed clean. I thought perhaps it would be very noisy being right next to the airport, and having the elevated train right behind it. But we slept fine. The AC works. Breakfast was not particularly inspiring.

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
Airport transport took over 20 minutes from when we called. Hotel is a 5 minute drive. Other hotels in the area had buses pass us 3 times while we waited. Otherwise the hotel is what you would expect for the price, and was quiet for our sleep.
