Room was clean and fresh smelling

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
Staff was very kind and professional. The shuttle was very confusing and hard to get to. The rooms while clean was dingy and very out of the way. Not the worst experience but can be improved.

Coast Gateway Hotel
We love the SeaTac Coast. For early morning flights, we have very little to worry about. Just get up, jump in the van and your travel day starts without stress. And, a meal at the Roast House is a very pleasant meal the evening before you fly.
