Coast Gateway Hotel
Very close to the airport free shuttle and friendly service. There is a nice bar and grill right next door. Right by the airport but the room was very quiet.

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
The staff is great and the shuttle runs every 30 minutes to the airport, right on time. The facility is older, it hasn’t been updated in a long time, but it is very clean in the rooms, and for a quick stay near the super, it’s perfect!
