Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are nice and clean! The bed was super comfortable . Only thing I didn’t like was that there’s not elevators. Had to carry our baby from a long night trip in car seat up the second floor."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North

8/10 Good

"This place is a great location to stay if heading to a mariners game. You can stay here and catch the light rail to the game! The staff here is fantastic and friendly in helping with making your stay great. It is an older hotel and I am not a fan of the hallways smelling a little weird. But this place is clean and great location"

Motel 6 Seattle, WA - South

8/10 Good

"The Motel 6 Seattle South is close to SeaTac but on the south side, whereas the rental car return is on the north side, about 4 miles away. My room was large, the bed was comfortable, and the AC and WiFi worked well. The room had only one chair, which was cracked and near breaking (I told the clerk). There is a gas station with a convenience store, Subway Sandwiches, and coffee drive-thru adjacent to the property. There are more places to eat/shop within a mile on the other side of I-5. Des Moines Beach Park is only a few miles away and nice - there is paid parking at the waterfront, or you can park free above the beach and take a 2 - 3 minute walk."
