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

6/10 Okay

"It’s ok for one night stopover, that’s all!"

Executive Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"这个老旅馆挂放衣服的地方小，没有桌椅。入住的时间非常严格下午四点不能提前，自己登入没有人帮助证件扫描不知道在哪里。好的地方服务人员热情为我们存放行李，旅馆地址在城中心大部分地方步行可达，远些地方乘坐公交非常方便，价钱也比其它新旅馆好。"

Four Points By Sheraton Seattle Airport South

4/10 Poor

"Front desk was great however, that’s were it stopped. Flat soda, waitress that didn’t know what kind of soda, beer, or specials were available. Daughter couldn’t take a bath because the drain was so clogged it wouldn’t work. Then my husband and I stood in water while showering. After paying the nightly rate we incurred an additional $20 for parking."

Mediterranean Inn

6/10 Okay

"Hotel location is good for events at Climate Pledge otherwise blah. Pros -location, location Cons - small rooms (double beds touching the walls/can only get in on one side - under construction/ workers noisy/ unsafe with carpet laying around. Walls patched- no paint - parking very limited/ small spaces in garage - old hotel- seen better days - $$$$"

Mayflower Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely vintage hotel. Very clean and in a great location. Comfy bed and large, well-appointed rooms. My only minor complaint was the front desk attendant could have been friendlier. He barely made eye contact, and grumbled his way through checking us in without so much as a “hello” or “welcome.” For the price level, I expect a little more hospitality from staff"
