Beautiful hotel close to airport
We usually stay by the Space Needle when visiting Seattle but we were arriving late in the evening and heading to the pier for a cruise the next day so I decided on an airport hotel. I was impressed with prior reviews of this hotel and I have to echo them. The grounds are lovely, front desk staff efficient, friendly and helpful. The "living room" stocked with snacks was a big temptation. Our room was attractive and well-kept. Appreciated the pillow menu (ordered a buckwheat one online) and the comfort of the bed. Bathroom was decorated nicely and bathtub was soaker style (had a nice bubble bath). If I had any complaint about the room it was about the size. We had a king size bed and there was little room to walk around-it was one of the smallest hotel rooms I've had recently. Maybe there are other size rooms?? I would probably go with a queen size bed next time.
We had dinner in the bar at the Copperleaf (including a beer flight which was interesting) and the food was good and nicely presented, decor of restaurant soothing and attractive. Included breakfast in the morning had a very good selection. It was in a lovely dining room with plenty of seating so there was no crowding, wondering whether you'd find a seat. And smoked salmon doesn't show up at breakfast at most locations so that was an added attraction.
If you're looking for an airport hotel I would definitely choose this one (free shuttle from the airport) and I think if I was renting a car I would also consider this location. I'm not sure about reaching the downtown area from this spot by public transportation so that could be a drawback if you don't have a car but otherwise you can't go wrong with this hotel.
