Good base for pre/post flight out of Seatac and exploring Seattle
My family and I only stayed one night as I had to pick my brother up from Seatac airport. Deciding to make it a nice outing we went to the zoo and then checked in at the hotel to end the night. Check in was quick and efficient, and the room was clean, contemporary in design and best of all, quiet when you consider the proximity to the airport. We had dinner at the restaurant and though the meal was brilliant we felt a bit out of place as we had our over tired infant with us. Good thing to keep in mind if you have little ones, it's best to eat outside of the hotel so you don't feel rushed or disturb the other diners' experience. The food is worthy of slowly savouring, and we tried our best to do so while keeping our son quiet/fed/entertained.
Don't forget to check out the hotel's "living room lounges" with its complimentary snacks and Haagen Daaz ice cream! The grounds around the hotel are great for a stroll and the scenery/landscaping are beautiful.
All in all, this hotel well exceeds the price you'd pay and is worthy of its high ranking on this site. I'd have rated it excellent instead of very good if only it had a bit more amenities (like a pool) but that's only because I'm trying to find "fault" with the property. It really is a wonderful hotel with great service and friendly staff.
