Best Western Seattle Airport Hotel
Well, there was noise from the airport which Made was acclimating to, but a family with very noisy kids moved next to me and I had to change rooms in order to sleep. The staff was good about it and the shuttle drivers were very friendly also.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites SeaTac by IHG
Room was spotless. Check in was quick and easy. Included breakfast was great!! Only thing I didnt like was the barn door over the bathroom. It was hard to open and close and left a large gap so my family could hear everything. Fine for couples but not great for a family.
