Clarion Pointe Kent - Seattle South

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location was convenient, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good hotel."

"Timely airport shuttle continues to be a problem for airport pick up with an hour wait this time. Love everything else about the property except this one important detail. Hotel is about 10 minutes from the airport...once you arrive and traverse to hotel pick up you call...and wait..."
