Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Federal Way

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, excellent food options near by, right next to the link station."

Economy Inn Auburn

8/10 Good

"So Mr Robinson here and I recently stayed at the Econony Inn Auburn. I frequently stay in Auburn and when I do. It is always at your establishment. I usually just book a room and pay cash at the hotel. But the past few times I've actually booked my room and paid online to be able to stay when I'm not rolling in dough. Checking in has always been a normal experience. Now checking in is always a breeze because of the familiarity from staying so frequently. I know I usually come with someone else also. Using Expedia when I book a room. I pick a room with 2 beds because of it being me and a guest. From booking and staying at the hotel so many times this past few years. I don't usually change the 1 person staying to 2 people. When checking in it has always been a breeze for the most part. The last stay at the Econony Inn Auburn checking in was a Headache at the least. To start all of the familiar people working there we know had went home for the night. So when checking in to the room for the night. Like every time before this last stay. The number I would select for how many people has never even been brought to my attention. Let alone make it an issue that I didn't select 2 person instead of 1. Always choosing a room with two beds. I thought it was kind of implied I might have another person also staying with me. Not only was it a problem having my girl with me. Like every time I stay because I had not selected 2 person instead of 1 in the app. So I was given the option to not"

"Great location for our needs. We were there on family business. The house was a welcome and restful retreat after a busy day. It’s special to have a lake house in the middle of suburbia! The lake view is very special and the deck enjoyable. Kathy, the hostess, is kind and helpful. The furniture is warn and not fancy but the house is pleasant and welcoming."
