Top hotels in Rainier Valley
Mediterranean Inn
The hotel was clean and nicely renovated. We had a 6th floor room facing the water which was great. The location is great if you’re planning to visit Seattle center. The only complaint is the elevators are very slow.

It a very nice place the only thing I’ve just spent so much money. He still have to pay for parking there and it gets back fast.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
Need to get some hand rails in the shower. Shower is slippery and you can’t hardly do anything even though there is a rubber mat.

Super quiet, even right next to the airport! It’s our go to for overnight before morning flights. Clean, comfortable. We park at ParknJet for the duration of our trip, shuttle to the airport, and Coast shuttle to the hotel. Works great. Good restaurant in the parking lot!
