Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
The service is superb! Breakfast is for me that stands out. It’s hot, a lot of choices. I also wanted to shout out the complimentary items. Thanks for the service. The only thing that needs improvement is, there is no blow dryer in the room.
