Top hotels in North End
DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
"It’s very large with several wings to the property so if you have a walking disability expect to make arrangements. Breakfast is $30 but very good and parking is around $40 with tax, not so good. Finding a parking spot is difficult due to the amount of people on this property. Rooms were standard ..."

Red Roof Inn Seattle Airport - SEATAC
"Property served its purpose, room was clean but property showed its wear. Shuttle was available but a bit disorganized. Only saw a Denny's within walking distance. Hallway smelled of marijuana from other guests. Would stay again price is right knowing what to expect."

Motel 6 Seattle, WA - South
"Good location — right next to a coffee shop and gas station, which was super convenient. I felt pretty safe here as a solo traveler. The room was clean, and the service was great. Bathroom could've used a little extra cleaning, but for the price, I really couldn't complain. Solid budget option."
