Days Inn by Wyndham Lakewood South Tacoma
Clean room but the room had no heat. Me and my partner was cold all night. The thermometer had no way 2 turn on cause wires were exposed. Staff was okay but not great. They didnt have a kitchen. The gym was okay.

Best Western Seattle Airport Hotel
We chose it for its nearness to airport. Free shuttle, friendly staff, excellent breakfast with agreeable hours, very clean room all made our stay most comfortable. Sadly there was no oversight of the pool area so very loud children running all about along with no functioning jets in the sauna detracted ...
