Hilton Garden Inn Tacoma Downtown
Room was ok but we had an awkward person who was not staying at the hotel try and join us at the bar. Completely awkward and disappointing.

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
Staff was very kind and professional. The shuttle was very confusing and hard to get to. The rooms while clean was dingy and very out of the way. Not the worst experience but can be improved.
