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

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to the airport and transportation . We stayed one night in a very comfortable and clean room and the staff was very helpful."

Sheraton Grand Seattle

8/10 Good

"I would request a room on a higher floor…traffic noise is intense at times (I was on the 6th flr). Bathroom sink and surrounding counter is useless for females. There is nowhere to put anything other than one hair dryer. Forget about makeup products. Light on sides of mirror over sink needs to be brighter or have different brightness settings. Remainder of room is nice, comfortable and the bed and pillows are excellent as are the blackout blinds. Lobby is very busy and Starbucks is great but be prepared for long lines and wait time."

Oxford Seattle

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really great stay at the Oxford Hotel in Seattle! The location is absolutely unbeatable, it’s right in the heart of downtown Seattle and only about two blocks from Pike Place Market. It’s hard to find a more central location, and the street felt safe and convenient for exploring the city. When you arrive, there isn’t a traditional check-in desk, just a lobby before heading up to your room. Our room was amazing and felt more like a small apartment. It had incredibly high ceilings, a living room with a pull-out bed and TV, a comfortable-sized queen bed, a bathroom with a small walk-in shower, and a mini kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen was especially convenient while travelling with our child. There was also an air conditioner set up for us, which was a nice touch. Everything was very clean, and we loved the unique character of the space. Our only complaints were that the beds were quite uncomfortable, and the building was very noisy. We could hear a lot of footsteps and what sounded like someone running around above our ceiling, which was disruptive at times. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Oxford Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, unique, and incredibly central place to stay while exploring Seattle!"
