Everything was great! The only downside was the TV was a little glitchy and the Wi-Fi basically did not work, but I’m sure most of the time it does.

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
The room was nice, clean, but the property itself smelled strongly of cigarettes. The staff was helpful, but to get a shuttle from the airport was a challenge because I didn’t get clear directions on where I was supposed to meet the shuttle.
