Hotel Murano
Room and food at restaurant were good. Only gave 3 stars because it was hard to sleep with the constant elevator noise. Never experienced that at a hotel before. If I stayed again I would just ask to make sure my room was not near the elevator.

Sleep Inn - SeaTac Airport
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The property itself doesn’t look the best, but it was fine for one night after flying in late.
