DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
A/C wasn't working. Room kept getting pushed back to being ready. Elevators kept getting stuck and breaking down. Some of the front desk staff were just rude

The Paramount Hotel
Great location and very clean. Unfortunately one of the elevators was down the whole time I was there, so there was sometimes a little wait for an elevator, but it was never more than 5 minutes. It also would have been nice to have a microwave available. Otherwise a great place to stay!
