Top South Tacoma Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for the cost."

Best Western Seattle Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night since we arrived late and left the next morning, but everything about the stay was excellent. Check-in was easy, the room was clean and quiet, and we were able to get a good night’s rest after traveling. The price was also very reasonable, especially considering how close the hotel is to the airport. Checkout the next morning was quick and hassle-free as well. We didn’t have an extended stay here, so I can only speak to our one-night experience, but it was exactly what we needed and everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again."
