Quick nice overnight
We came in late and were greeted warmly. We had a great room and used the sauna while we were there. If we come in town again we will choose to stay there.

Our check in went great. Lady at the counter was helpful in getting us two rooms on the first floor, provided information on places to have dinner. Free breakfast was simple but fine, fruit, yogurt, waffles. A choice of cereal would have been nice. This is not the Hilton, but served our needs and I would stay here again. It was about 20 minutes from the airport in rush hour.

Good hotel at a good price.
We came here because the price was good and we just needed an overnight. Turns out we ended up staying multiple nights related to our business in the area. It’s a very pleasant hotel. The room is well appointed and the area is quiet. The bed was comfortable. I thought the people front desk were quite nice. Overall, this hotel has been a good experience. I’d stay here again.

Low supply of towels
It was good enough when I stayed alone a year ago. This time I was with my mom and sister, so we ran into an issue with towels. We shower daily, which means 3 towels daily. This was a struggle since apparently the hotel has a limited amount of towels. This is one of the reasons I dislike AirBNBs - limited towels. Yes, I'm aware it's a 3 star hotel, but, towels are a basic expectation for me.

The place had an OVERPOWERING smell of pine sole or some other harsh smelling cleaner. The place is in need of a remodeling. Not inexpensive for what the area should demand.

It's the perfect spot for a stay before an early flight out of SeaTac. I've used it a number of times and I've never been disappointed. Clean, quiet and close to the airport.
