Holiday Inn Express & Suites Seattle-Sea-Tac Airport

Found out my husband was there with his whore Kie Dally. This hotel gave him tips on how to secure the room with cash and it will go off our bank account in a day but unfortunately I seen it. Keeping it classy holiday inn. My life is destroyed

Perfect one-​nighter on our way to the airport early in the morning. Hotel is old and has been maintained well rooms are small but clean. Think it was a little exspensive. Nice and close to SeaTac.

My stay was great, perfect location to be at! Its close to airport and the front desk agent Jenny was very helpful and knew a lot about what place to go visit and eat at!

Very good location for freeway access and airport. Always friendly staff (Kim and Cindy are very helpful) and good breakfasts. Very comfortable rooms, could have a bit firmer pillow option; even the ones marked Firm were on the soft side. Good value for the price. Didn’t use the airport shuttle on this trip, but have in the past and it works out well.

My last review for the HIX was November 2012… so this is about as good of a time as any to provide an update.
Last night’s stay was met by a professional front desk staff, who checked me in quickly and efficiently. Apparently this was my 89^th stay at this property… nice. I received an upgrade to a one bedroom junior suite.
My room was nice, well appointed… good wall coverings, carpets and furniture. Obviously I’ve been here before, but I’ve also been in a ton of other HIX property’s across the country… this one is nice, and is comfortable… but it lacks amenities, routine at newer property’s.
Bathroom vanity is old and worn… not worn & torn, just old. Fixtures really are inferior… in your attempt to be water usage conscious, water restrictions to both volume and pressure is a real disappointment. Customers expect better for their money… at least I do.
I’m not sure if it’s a floor problem or just cheap construction… but doors do not shut properly… either scrapping the floor or just not fitting properly in the door frame.
The heat/​AC seems to work properly but the units in my rooms are loud and make funny noises. The suites have a range top and dishwasher… but why? There are no dishes or utensils… nothing. Many times as business takes me to an area where I will have an opportunity to stay in the same hotel for successive night’s, the extended stay type hotel’s is where I go so I can prepare meals and such. I’m sure others look for this as well.
The old glass 4-​cup coffee maker is gone having been replaced with a real nice Keurig k-​cup coffee maker… very nice!!!
So why do we stay in hotel’s…for a good night’s sleep. My bed was very nice, good pillows… and comfy. I slept well. My only suggestion would be to examine the blanket situation… these micro twin sheeted things really are inadequate. There is a real need for a thick, warm blanket… and perhaps a bedspread or duvet cover.
Breakfast in the morning is consistent… cold cereals, sweets & muffins, oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, sausage (turkey and also pork), yogurts and the like. None of the wafer thin greasy microwaved bacon this morning… thank goodness.
The price structure for this hotel is a mystery… their rates have been substantially higher than others so I have been giving my business to others for quite some time… such as the Fairfield Inn next door. Last night’s rates were reasonable.
All said, this is a nice hotel. It is comfortable, convenient to the airport and surrounding area, nice morning breakfast, shuttle service… its comfortable.

Stayed here for 2 nights for business. While it served its purpose (close to the airport, full kitchen), it could have been much better for a few reasons.
The hotel itself feels a bit outdated. I can tell they are trying to keep it clean and welcoming, but the room felt old. The beds were not the most comfortable, and the bathroom could use some updates.
Many times throughout the night, I could hear the people above me stomping around.
Also, the gym was disappointing. No free weights or weight machines, just treadmills and an exercise bike.
The best part of the hotel was the complimentary breakfast — hot foods are offered which is always a plus.

Holiday Inn express. Obviously a chain franchise. It’s not out of date but neither is it the most up to date.
Breakfast — Lots of variety, hot and cold. Free with your stay. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate always available as well.
Room — As a spire elite member my room was upgraded to a suite, so I have plenty of room to spread out and relax. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean and nothing broken.
Staff — Check in staff was great. Check out staff not so much. I stopped to ask if anyone had turned in a scarf as I lost mine. He didn’t even go look. Just said nope sorry. I guess he was too busy playing with his cell phone.
Pro — They have a shuttle to and from the airport. Runs every half hour.
Con — WiFi is slow and keeps dropping, both wired and wireless. Which if you are here on business like I was, is a bit hard to deal with.
I’d stay here again for a night or two but for longer stays I’ll check other options out.

I stayed at this hotel for my overnight layover in Seattle. I had just flown in from Vancouver, and I was in need of some good food and shuteye. I decided to get delivery, and headed over to the hotel to check in.
The staff was somewhat friendly, although I got a weird vibe from them. They provided me with different menus from delivery places. If you love pizza and the like, then you will like the food options offered in the vicinity of this hotel.
I ordered extra food, half of which I ate before calling it a night, and half of which I ate heading out the door. I then realized the microwave inside my room was defunct. I told the front desk person about that issue, and he offered no solution. He only told me that the only microwaves are inside the rooms. I proceeded to ask the guy setting up the breakfast place if I can use his microwave, to which he agreed.
They didn’t have any water available either. Only bottle water they sell at rip off prices. It may sound cheap, however I do drop down good money for good quality. This place, while it served its purpose of providing a place to sleep, cannot be considered good quality. Next time I will opt for a higher-​end hotel and, or course, better flight times.

Stayed here on business for 3 nights and here are my thoughts:
— customer service is inconsistent. Front desk staff is very friendly in person and quite the opposite over the phone.
— shuttle service is nice to have. Takes a little long but will take you to any restaurant within a mile from the hotel, to the light rail station or to the airport all for free.
— free hot breakfast in the morning and coffee/​water all day
— kind of far from downtown Seattle. I highly suggest either renting a car (25 – 30 mins) or taking the light rail (50mins-​1 hour)
— they don’t have a closet or bell service to leave your bags. They ask to put it under a set of stairs. I felt pretty unsafe leaving my belongings there but had no choice. Luckily, we didn’t get robbed.
Room review:
— Lots of room! Loved having a living room separate from the bedroom (two tv’s!)
— bathroom is small. The door closes inward toward the toilet
— loved having a microwave, coffee maker, fridge and extra sink!
— bed is ok in terms on comfiness.

Great service!

Great hotel… I have to say the Bed was so comfortable and the pillows were soft… we slept through the night.
You can here people walking here and there but not bad.
The breakfast … there was a huge variety… hot pancakes… fruit…oatmeal…plenty for everyone.
Then at night they serve pancakes from 8 – 12 midnite. Lol. Awesome.
Close to airport and they call a shuttle to take you to cruise ship.
Will stay here again

I recently stay here with my husband because I had free points. I have never visited this place before and I was really happy we did. The room was very clean and spacious. The front clerks were Super Friendly!!! I will be coming back. Thank you for the great experience.

This is a great Holiday Inn Express if you need a place to crash overnight between flights.
They have a relatively efficient airport shuttle that runs hourly.
Breakfast is always what you expect at an HIE. The cinnamon buns were especially good on our last stay.
The metro extension is being built (July 2015) and it will pass only a few feet from the rear of the hotel. This may add some extra noise when it is running. However, the hotel shuttle will drop you at the metro station if you wish.
The registration process is always efficient and friendly.
Seattle is an expensive city so this hotel is not cheap! However, if you stay downtown expect to pay at least $ 100 more per night!

It’s been a decade or so since I stayed in a Holiday Inn, so I was really surprised at how decent this Holiday Inn Express was. The rooms were spacious and modern (though, there were some stray hairs in the bathroom, and a weird blood spot on the first tissue I pulled from the pack… hotel mysteries). Service was perky even during our very late check-​in, rooms were comfy and quiet, and the morning breakfast is a nice touch (though, it’s nothing to get excited about). The airport shuttle leaves every 30 mins, great for an early morning flight.
It’s not the closest hotel to the airport, but that can be a good thing when it comes to noise. Totally A-​Ok, if you need to crash near the airport for about $ 100/​nt.

Have you ever walked into a hotel and said to yourself,” wow i’ll bet when this place opened it was nice?” And I then ask yourself «Do I feel safe… Welll not so much.» The room was clean but well used and had that post rager feel to it.
The gym was disgusting and everything was broke the TV, the treadmill was trying to collapse, the towels had makeup on it from well we don’t know when.
Got in the elevator and when it stopped two SWAT police followed by a women in her 50+ pink onesy bunny suit and her method out boyfriend… is this for real???
Nope Never ever again… paying for the 4 stars +++ next time.
At least I know the gym will be clean and I won’ have the possibility of getting mugged in the lobby.

I recently had a great experience with this hotel. It was very simple to make the reservation. I am an IHG member and have had good experiences at this group’s hotels so far. The room rate was VERY affordable. They were running a winter special. I arrived about 45 minutes before check-​in and the room was ready for me. I was also allowed to check in early without any additional fees or hassle. The front desk staff was very nice. One of our key cards did not work but they quickly made us a new set and apologized for the inconvenience. The room was clean and fresh smelling. Often you ask for a non-​smoking room and get a lingering smell of cigarette anyway. Not here! The products provided were bath and body works white citrus shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The kitchenette (sink, microwave and mini fridge) came in handy with 2 small kids in the room looking for snacks. The beds were very comfortable and there were two sets of soft and two sets of firm pillows which was a nice touch. The continental breakfast had a good selection of cereal, muffins, and even a pancake maker. It saved us quite a bit of money on breakfast.
I will definitely stay at a Holiday Inn Express on my next trip to Seattle!

My review is based on the stay here at two different times within a week
1^st Time (4 stars):
Got upgraded to King suite, the room was upgraded recently. Free and ample Parking, good selection of breakfast options, and free wifi were great amenities. Hotel staff were also very friendly and courteous.
2^nd Time (2 stars):
Got King bed that seemed more like a mini suite. The room was little dated with old carpet and uncomfortable bed. Same great free parking, good selection of breakfast, and free wifi. The hotel at the time was going through some repairs and the water was turned off around 11. I just wished that they waited till noon (Checkout time) so the guests would have had more time to shower.
Overall a decent hotel and may probably stay here again, as long as they are not doing any repairs.

The staff when we checked in were super friendly. I cannot speak for the majority of the rooms because were in a pet friendly room.
The room we were in was very nice, I am sure the pet friendly rooms are a lower quality than the others. The kitchenette was adequate if you were going to stay for several days. The rooms look like they have been remodeled recently, but the bathrooms looked like they didn’t get any love. There is a nice business center with a couple of computers and a printer right outside the lobby.
There are very few other places surrounding the hotel at least a few block walk in either direction. There is small convenience store attached to the main desk. Typical hotel fair and very overpriced. If you don’t mind the walk there are two convenience stores out the front to the right about half a block.
Breakfast was nice, nothing fancy by definitely better than having to wait in line at the airport or a fast food joint.
So the bad, the shuttle service sucks. Now I will caveat this by saying we had a lot of luggage because my wife, two children and I were moving, but that is no excuse for poor service. We attempted to get a private shuttle and one manager stated we could, then the next shift came on and they stated we couldn’t. Also if you do not wait outside the shuttle will go right past you. So this meant I was standing outside in November.
Some of the night staff were unprofessional one of them, the manager I assume, was getting on to a driver in the main lobby so several of the guests could see and hear. Now he might have deserved this, but this was very unprofessional.
All in all I don’t know if I would stay here again. Although the beds were comfortable the shuttle service was poor. If you don’t need pet friendly I would stay somewhere else if you can.

The company usually puts us at the Red Lion this time we were put at the Holiday Inn Express and I am totally happy beds are very comfortable the pillows they’ve got that marked soft and firm so that way you can choose your your pillow comfort the rooms are nice size refrigerator microwave.

Stayed 2 nights early August. Because it’s high season, parking is NOT FREE. I chose to turn in rental and use free shuttle, which did not work out as smoothly as planned. I called for pick up, told where I was, a second phone call 25 minutes later got me my shuttle — 45 min total. Driver apologized, saying he didn’t see me.
SUGGESTION — when you call, ASK what color shuttle is and what does it say. Secondly, be very specific where you are and ask them to relay to driver.
There is NO hotel restaurant, so you either walk 6 really long blocks, or shuttle will drop you off. Breakfast is typical serve yourself.

We picked this hotel in particular because it was close to the airport and they offer shuttle service to and from the airport as well as shuttle service to from the hotel and to the Princess cruise ship line. Plus we were only staying for one night so we didn’t need anything super fancy.
Shuttle service lagged a little for us but it was okay since we weren’t in a rush. After touring the city for a few hours, we took the Central Link Light Rail back the airport and hopped on our shuttle to get back to our hotel. I love that we didn’t have to rent a car or take a cab. Most other hotels nearby offer the same service as well.
We arrived hours before our check in time but we were lucky the rooms were all available so we were able to check in early. The staff was very helpful and quick. The room was very clean and comfortable. There was a small bar area with a microwave and some utensils. I love the bath and body lotion and hair products! The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I slept well, that’s all that matters.
The hotel itself is clean. There’s a little shop downstairs where you can buy chips, sodas and candies. Around the corner near the front desk there are two computers and printers where you can print your boarding pass or read e-​mails for free. This came in handy since I forgot to print my boarding pass for the cruise and my luggage tag! The hotel also has free wifi and complimentary breakfast!
The only downside staying here was there are no restaurants or bar that was walking distance. We asked locals and the driver and they said there’s not much around the area. We ended up drinking in our rooms, hahaha!

I came to Seattle to visit family, and stayed 4 nights. I usually stay in downtown, but decided to go for more budget travel instead of paying the high price of a downtown hotel and additional parking fees.
This hotel worked out perfectly. It was clean, modern, and comfortable. There was hardly any noise from other guests. The morning breakfast was a treat if you like that sort of thing. The office center was great for printing out tickets, and the gym good for a quick workout.
The staff was friendly at check in and check out. Also, it conveniently located near the airport. Some flight noise should be expected, but it’s minimal compared to other areas.

Extremely friendly staff. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of heat in the halls. The towels are nice and the toilets are powerful. The bananas and apples are the best part of the breakfast.
Problems:
1. Our dishwasher falls out of the counter when we open the door.
2. The suites have a two electric burners and the pans are terrible; You might find these in the 99 Cent Store.
3. The gym has a treadmill that works and one that has been broken for six weeks which takes up room. No free weights and one stair climber. The T.V. in this area has a cable box that is balanced on the top edge and sometimes falls off.
4. The hallways have carpet
5. There is no circulation in the living room of our suite.
6. The bathroom has one switch that turns on the light and the fan every time.
7. The soap, shampoo and conditioner are below average.
8. There is not enough lighting in the rooms. Its Seattle and lighting is important.
9. The powdered eggs every morning with sausage lacks creativity; there should be more variety
10. Horrible coffee. They have had six weeks to try to make one good pot of coffee and they have failed. Come on! Its Seattle and there are coffee beans everywhere. This is one of the most disappointing aspects of this hotel.
11, The wireless works most of the time.
In conclusion, the staff here are wonderful. However that does not make the problems disappear.

I was in Seattle for a five day party and my group stayed here and used the top floor for our parties. It was a really good experience. The shuttle picked me right up from the airport with no problems. I did get a room at the very end of the hall though and after drinking all night it seemed far even though it wasn’t lol.
The upstairs facility was great for our parties. The music sounded good and we had appetizers which were really good and I loved the rounded windows from the top floor. They have a 24 hour heated pool and jacuzzi which I used every night that I was there. The only problem is that their version of a heated pool was still very very cold.
They have one restaurant which was OK nothing special but the high price tags! It’s also conveniently located next to the Light Link Rail which I used three times while I was there. Very cool. I would definitely come back here if I was in the area again!

Good
Close to the airport
Clean
Priority club welcome most of the time
Upgrade to x06 that are best rooms
Decent Wi-​Fi
Bad
Not the newest
Priority check in was not ready

This is my number one hotel when I have those «early» flights out of SeaTac. The rooms are nice, the beds are good… and they have an airport shuttle if you need one.
It is getting cold now so asking for an extra blanket when you make your reservation is a good idea. One word of caution…“ask for a morning wake up call” because after you pull that warm blanket over your ear… well, sleep tight!!!
