Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
The hotel is less than a mile from the airport. They have a shuttle that can pick you up or take you back to the airport. However, when I returned to the airport it was a pleasant day and I chose to walk to the airport and it took me less than 20 minutes.

Coast Gateway Hotel
It was a very quick overnight stay, a layover on our way to Oklahoma City. We enjoyed our time there, the staff was friendly and helpful. It also helped immensely to have a restaurant right across the parking lot!

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
The room was 3 star. It’s safe, but really starting to show its age. If you’re on a budget then this is for you.
