Coast Gateway Hotel
"We stay here whenever we fly out of SeaTac. It’s clean, the staff is always extremely helpful and it’s so close to the airport with a shuttle running 3x/hr. A little dated looking, but great for all of the reasons I mentioned."

"Rooms are nice but the room cleaning is lacking. Hair left in bathroom. Ewww. Wish they took better care- would be a 5 star review if they had. By the way, this happened in 2 rooms we stayed in while there."
