"Staff were courteous. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was typical of free breakfasts - powdered scrambled eggs, sausage, make your own waffles or pancakes…. Overall, would stay again!"

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"The only problem we had was we asked for a handicap room. Don't get me wrong the room was amazing. But the hotel is huge and our room was clear on the other side of the hotel. Way away from anything. To far to even walk back to were the restaurant or bar was. But the hotel was perfect location for what we needed."
