Top Ballard Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was updated, clean and staff were efficient . The breakfast had a wide variety of options and the dining area was spacious. The shuttle was easily accessible at all times we had extremely early flights . They even picked us up at the airport when riding the light rail back and forth from downtown ($3 light rail vs $70 uber) . We will stay there again."
