Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Downtown Lake Union
Breakfast was good. Didn’t appreciate all the bird poop on the window and ledge outside it. Made for a poor view.

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
It's not bad, but it's not great. Smells like an old hotel in places. Staff was nice. Had to pay $35 for parking, so more expensive than other options that don't blindside you with fees. Hot tub was also closed... i really wanted a soak.
