The Paramount Hotel
Parking was easy but expensive, which is to be expected in Seattle. The hotel was fine for our needs.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
The only drawback for us was - there were no restaurants very close to the property… but it was clean… out shuttle driver was early and ready to go when we needed to go to the airport. We did not get breakfast because of our flight time was earlier than breakfast….
