Top Westlake Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

8/10 Good

"I really like the hotel for the rooms, they re clean and comfortable, but customer service is always very subpar. No one ever tries to go above and beyond, no one is super friendly or kind. They’re all just polite, and I tend to always expect more than just polite. I also wished the rooms had a coffee maker, every hotel seems to have one but this one still doesn’t. I also asked if I could pay to have a slice of cake or anything special delivered to the room for a birthday surprise and they had nothing. There is a restaurant in the property, I would expect that they could do something simple, but no. So, a great room and a fabulous location, but don’t expect any service."

SureStay Hotel by Best Western SeaTac Airport North

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for one night because of its convenient location near the airport. The staff was helpful, and the room was clean. It’s nothing fancy, but it was perfect for our needs. The airport shuttle was convenient, and communication with the hotel was excellent. Overall, a pleasant stay, and I would stay here again."
