Four Points by Sheraton Downtown Seattle Center

8/10 Good

"Shops nearby walking distance to pin"

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I usually stay one night before I fly out for a trip. I park there while I'm away. I've always been treated with kindness by staff and never had issues with parking. Every time I try something different, I end right back at Hilton properties. I adore the little things they do to welcome me as a Hilton member. "

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean and comfy, the AC worked hard for sure. The walls are I do believe cardboard, can hear everything. Housekeeping was great, breakfast was yummy for most of the days, one day the fruit just wasn’t ripe. The shower water had okay pressure, but would randomly it would be super weak for like 5 minutes and freezing cold, then turn back up and be super hot. Parking is also insanely expensive for the area. Had cocktails and dessert there, the tiramisu was truly the worst thing I’ve ever had, tasted like bad eggs. The cocktails were very strong which is good for the price. Overall didn’t hate it but glad I got a deal. "

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff were very helpful to get me to the airport quickly when I had missed my earlier scheduled shuttle. Thank you so much for making a stressful situation turn around and I still made my flight as well. "
