this is a nice hotel...had comfortable beds but the housekeeping is slacking(es carencia-lack, shortage). We were on our last leg- etapa of our vacation coming from- para venir de Vancouver BC. The room they gave us had dried pee- orina all over- por todo the toilet- inodoro seat and dripped- goteaba all the way on the floor. I complained- Me quejé and they sent housekeeping while we went- mientras íbamos around Seattle. When we came back it is still dirty, seemed like they just cleaned- limpian the floor. Anyway- De todas formas we were so disgusted thinking- estábamos tan disgustados pensando what kind of things the previous guest did to that room and housekeeping could not- no podían thoroughly-completamente clean. Finally- Por último requested to be put in a new room and that one seemed to be a lot cleaner. Check in- El registro was fast, guest service was great- genial except for a certain male receptionist during check out who was smug and unapologetic when I mentioned the problem we had. Would not stay there again.

I was flying into Seattle in the afternoon and then taking-coger the Amtrak train the next-siquiente morning so-por lo que I had a choice to either stay-estar near the airport or go downtown.I got-me dieron the Hilton for $65 through Priceline. It is an excellent hotel and I would certainly-sin duda recommend it. Free and quick shuttle from the airport and check in was very efficient. I had room 1185-Estuve en la habitación on the ground floor -en la planta baja overlooking the inside courtyard. Quiet and peaceful-pacífico and never heard any-oi niguno airport or other noise.The hotel arranged-organizó for a taxi to take me to the train station the next morning.I was with friends for the evening so cannot comment on the dining, bar or other facilities.

I don't get the complaints about the hotel and parking. It's free-gratuito for guests-los huéspedes, just use your room key. Did you look into that and ask at the desk-mostrador? The room was quiet, the front desk people were very nice, and I'm typing in the business center...totally free with room key.The bed is comfortable (already took a nap-ya lo hice una siesta) and the TV works great-maravilla. There is a very comfortable chair to watch TV in, which is important to me, I can't stand the bed for tv :-) The parking garage is a bit far from the room, but I needed the exercise anyway -de todas formas :-)

We stayed 2 nights at this airport hotel. At first-Al principio we wanted to stay downtown the 2nd night but we couldn't get-pudimos conseguir a hotelroom under the price limit we set-habíamos puesto downtown.Afterwards we were quite happy that we stayed 2 nighs-nos quedamos bastante contentos de haber estado in the Hilton.We liked the accomodations-el alojamiento and also the staff was friendly. We didn't have any noise problems with the planes and if you have a car you can easily visit Seattle Downtown after a 20 minutes drive which-lo cual is not too bad.On the other hand-Por otro lado I disliked the 18$ parking fee for which I couldn't find cheaper alternatives in that area. Also as usual -Además, como siempre Hilton is not offering free internet access which is a shame- una lástima for a 4 star hotel according to me. If you have a mobile phone with WIFI you can pick up free signals when you talk a walk around the hotel-un buen paseo de alrededor del hotel. You'll see-Ya verás ;)

I stayed at this Hilton because I had to catch a 7:00 AM-madrugada flight from Seattle to Los Angeles the next morning. I was able to-fui capaz de turn in my rental car the night before, because this Hilton runs a shuttle to the airport 24/7. The hotel is a four story building on a main road very close to the airport... not your usual high rise.When I arrived at the hotel, I found-me pareció the staff at the front door and front desk to be exceptionally helpful and friendly. Before going up-antes de subir a to my room, I used the complimentary business center (two computers and a working printer) to check-in to my flight the next day. Room service for dinner was expensive and mediocre in quality. Suggest you- Te sugiero go -vaya elsewhere.I did have a couple of -un par de maintenance issues... a broken, hanging fluorescent bulb-bombilla colgando de fluorescentes in the bedside lamp (possible fire hazard-peligro de incendio?), and a loose faucet handle-un soporte grifo sueltos in the bathroom. I reported- reporté the bulb, of course. Otherwise-Por lo demás the room was nice enough.I wouldn't hesitate to stay-No dudaría en alojarme here again.

I landed a room for here for $65 on Priceline for a Friday evening stay....I see that some have gotten rooms even cheaper-han conseguido las habitaciones aún más barato. Pretty nice airport hotel-Bastante agradable ....standard Hilton. Housekeeping seemed to be a little slack-Limpieza parecía estar un poco descuido....there was an empty wine glass sitting-sentarse in the hallway-pasillo across from -frente de our room when we checked in-nos registramos, and it was still-seguía estando there the next morning when we checked out-nos marchamos. The toilet in our room was also clogged when we arrived. Otherwise.....no problems. Nice comfy beds and good linens-sábanas.....quiet place, even though-incluso aunque our room fronted on- daba a Pacific Hwy. The $18 ($20 with tax!) parking is pretty outrageous-barbaridad, but they do have a 24 hour shuttle to sea-tac if you can avoid bringing a car.

Dilapidated-Ruinoso, out of date, dreary (dismal, lugubre), ground-floor, facing a multistory carpark (which-lo cual illuminated my room all night) and reeking of smoke-humo - that was what I found when I finally arrived at my "non-smoking" room, that is, after pushing-empujando- my luggage myself through-a través corridor after corridor, and the ballroom-baile! Even the corridor reeked of smoke. At "reception" I was studiously ignored for nearly half an hour whilst another inmate tried-intento to get some satisfaction for his flooded-se inunda room. Finally I was checked in to my "non-smoking" room and given a map of how to get there. As I was on my way to a boat trip I had too much luggage to carry myself, so-así que I asked about assistance and was told to get one of the trolleys-tranvías round-al girar the corner. It was one of those big things with gold bars over the top-de la cima.. Another woman was just returning the trolley-estaba tan sólo volver el tranvía and gave me-me dio advice on how to get to the room, via a "short-cut" which took about 10 minutes off the walk and I was very grateful to her-muy agradecidos a ella.. I was nearly dead on my feet after flying from France via-a través London, having had to -al haber tenido que depart France nearly 24 hrs previously. It took me about 20 minutes at least to walk-ir a pie to the room. For this I paid 120 euros on Expedia (the French version) . It seems-Se parece to be impossible to book on the American site from France, although I could see it was a bit cheaper. All in all- En suma from my arrival at the hotel it was over an hour before I got into the room. I'm afraid-Estoy asustado I was just way too tired to complain at that stage.



Stayed here for one night for business. Nice looking lobby-,vestíbulo but odd set up-está establecido raramente. Lots of food trays-bandeja on the ground in the hallways. I mean lots-Me refiero mucho. I had to wonder how long they had been-habían estado there. The hallways were also very dark adding-añadiendo to the creepy-espeluznante food on the floor ambience.Staff seemed nice enough. Very convenient to the airport and seemed quiet enough- but I had to be up extra early to catch my flight.I didn't eat here, but the restaurant looked- se veía nice. The ceiling reminded me-me recordó of the Venetian ceiling in Vegas.The room was comfortable, but it seemed like a long walk to an elevator-parecían estar un paseo largo de un ascensor.

We used Priceline to get this hotel for a weekend night at $55 when arriving at the airport in the evening. I called in advance-por adelantado to find out-averiguar,comprobar the shuttle procedure-procedimiento--up and over to aisle 1 or 3, then use the courtesy phone. Shuttle there in 5 minutes. Although we were going to-nos íbamos use a car during our stay, we waited to pick it up the next morning to avoid the high self-parking rate.A group was having trouble checking in--another Priceline customer who had 4 people in their party and all that was available was 1-King rooms. Not the Hilton's fault. Priceline only assures room for 2 adults. So I tried out-traté de the self check-in terminal and entered my Hilton Honors number etc., but it could not print out keys. A second clerk appeared behind-detrás del the desk just as I finished-cuando que acabó, so he made the keys. Because of -Debido a Honors, given room facing interior courtyard-patio and renovated.Bed very comfortable. Room fine. Toiletries nice. View of Mt Rainier next morning.Another line at desk the next morning, so I used the terminal to check out and dropped keys in box-nos dejó las llaves en caja. Fruit available to snack on and a coffee stand with scones, etc. open, but we went to Dennys down the road for breakfast.A staff member was working hard to ensure everyone who needed to get to the airport was moving along, counting folks to fill a shuttle, getting ready for the next one. Would stay again if could get Priceline rate, but factor in cost of parking. Seattle hotels are so expensive!

This was a great building; quiet ,roomy and nicely designed. Easy access and very close to terminal. Beds were great. Great lobby lounge; open where you can see all that is going on-todo lo que pasa. Got in late so just had a glass of wine, I will have dinner next trip.Staff told us a bit more than necessary; people did not show up- no suelen aparecer for work and did not call. I had a problem getting change on Sunday morning all cashiers-cajero were out-se fuera , where is the mgmt or supervisors for cash? Staff was friendly and accommodating-complaciente to our requests-peticiones. This is my new location for SeaTac stays.

We managed to-Nos las arreglamos find a hotel in the Seattle area when driving-conducíamos thru. Seeems like most- la mayoría hotels were booked in the Seattle area last week. Didn't think the Hilton had any rooms but they had 2 left. The rooms are nice and clean. Parking was expensive at $18/night for self parking-autoservicio. The restaurant in the hotel was very nice. I would stay here again.

I was recently-hace poco in town for business and stayed at the Doubletree at the airport for one night and the Hilton for the second night. I found-Me pareció the Hilton to be a much better hotel for the business traveler-viajero. The beds were more comfortable, the rooms were quieter, and the room service food was above-average-por encima de la media. While-Aunque this Hilton was overall -en general not as nice as other Hilton properties (no Executive Lounge/Floor and the look and feel el ambiente y apariencia more akin to a Marriott Courtyard), it was much newer and cleaner than the majority of airport hotels I've encountered. I can't speak to the parking garage situation since I left-me dejé my car with valet and had no problems. I should note-Me debería tener en cuenta that the difference in price between valet and self park was minimal.If you're in town for business, this is a solid choice-sólida elección for an airport hotel.

At the airport we were lucky-nos suerte that the shuttle bus drove by just when-sólo cuando we arrived, so we didn’t had to wait at all. (That was shortly-poco after we realized-nos dimos cuenta why we didn’t like Seattle airport on our former visit, al that hassle going up, use a skywalk, going down, no good signs etc.) It was a short drive to the hotel. Check-in went smooth, but somewhat-algo unfriendly-.desagradable We also didn’t get an upgrade for our Diamond HHonors membership-,membresía slightly disappointing-decepcionate. Our room was a standard King with an easy chair with ottoman, working desk with chair and a good quality King bed. Remarkable-notable was that the closet where we thought would be a minibar was locked, so there was no refrigerator available. The coffee set produced great coffee. The bathroom was clean. There were two free bottles of water and some -algunos chocolates in our room.Our room had a view on the inner courtyard, a lovely green area and very quiet. When we were just in our room we could hear noise from other people (mostly children) in the hall, passing our room. We were worried, also because we were very tired after our flights from Europe, but we didn’t hear anything later in the evening and had a good night sleep.The breakfast the next morning was outstanding, there were many items to choose from (even very good red salmon) and a cook to prepare the eggs and so on. We only found the waitresses not too friendly; one even picked our breakfast vouchers without saying anything and looking distressed because we wouldn’t pay for it. There was no need, as we always leave a good tip on the table when we have a free breakfast with vouchers. When we left -cuando fuimos the doorman was very forthcoming, the friendliest person we met during our stay. We didn’t have to wait long before the shuttle bus drove us to the car rentals at the airport. Although some things were not too optimal, we would have no hesitation to make a reservation in this hotel again the next time.

This hotel is certainly convenient to the airport, with very efficient shuttle service. I stayed here because I had an early departure the next morning.The hotel was just okay-normal. The rooms are quite large, but in need of some upgrading-mejoras. We had a coffee maker-cafetera de café in the room, but no coffee. We had notepaper, but no pens. The air conditioner rattled-traqueteaba all night. I asked to be moved to another room, but was told nothing else was available. I did manage to- apañamos get some coffee and a pen. The worst experience was dinner at Spencers. It was terrible! Salad with brown lettuce was served first. Then came my rib eye steak on a plate the size of a dessert plate. There was no room to even cut-acorté it. . . which you needed as it was so tough. You would think for that price they could put a little garnish-guarnición on the plate. We also had the salmon, which tasted(sabis, 有某種味道） like it had been in the oven too long-hubiese sido en el horno demasiado largo. It also wasn't very pleasant to be served by a waiter in a white jacket-chaqueta what was filthy! Dinner for two without any drinks was over $100.00 and certainly not worth it. I would definitely not go back.

I stayed at the Seattle Airport Hilton twice within a 10 day period in February on my way to and from Hawaii. Since-ya que I live in Spokane, Washignton, I did not want to start my vacation by getting up at 2:00 in the morning to catch a 5:00am flight from Spokane to Seattle and then take a 9:00 flight to Hawaii. On the way back- En el camino de regreso, the flights from Hawaii to Seattle get in after 10:00pm making it challenging- desafiante(but not impossible) to make a connection -conexión back to Spokane. I think that this was a good choice to make and I would definitley do-sin duda hare this again. The accomodations -alojamiento were very good and the staff (with one exception) was excellent. An on-demand free shuttle to and from the airport is another highlight. The hotel is almost across the street from the airport. It can be a little noisy but that's to be expected at an airport hotel. I would caution-precaución anyone who has never landed-aterrizamos at Sea-tac airport that the courtesy shuttles are all in the parking garage. It is necessary to take a skywalk and an elevator to the shuttle area. If you have a lot of baggage definitely rent- alquilar a cart in the baggage claim area. On my first stay, the shuttle driver was very attentive and friendly and offerred to take my bags up to my room upon-cuando hicimos check-in. The shuttle drivers take turns and also serve as bellhops-sirven como mozos. This was very welcome to me because I have been recovering from surgery-me han sido recuperando de cirugía. However, on my second stay, I did not receive as nice a welcome either from the shuttle driver or the front desk staff. I did arrive around 1030pm and there were other guests checking in at the same time. When I did arrive at the check-in desk, the clerk was apologetic-se disculpó for my wait for the shuttle. This kind of puzzled me because I didn't have much of a wait. It turns out that he thought I was someone else-creía que era alguien que otro. I was never asked if I needed help to my room. I know I should have asked-haber pedido for assistance but did not which was not good for me physically. It just-Simplemente didn't seem like there was anyone available. Since-ya que I am a hilton honors member, I was given-me dieron an option with my reservation confirmation to order something light through room service in advance. I did so. I inquired-preguntaba about this at the front desk. Without checking at all-Sin comprobando en todo, the same front desk clerk said that it is the room. This was not the case-. Esto no fue el caso It was delivered to me fairly promptly. I do not fault the food service department because I actually-en realidad arrived earlier than anticipated-lo previsto. However, I felt-me pareció that the clerk just couldn't be bothered to check. I also called down to the front desk about a problem with one of the room phones in that the speed dials to the desk did not work. The same clerk who had helped me previously answered the phone. He was neither helpful about this situation or very helpful regarding my quesitons about the hotel's business center. I believe that this was most likely a training issue- lo más probable una cuestión with this individual employee and the not overall service orientaiton for the hotel. All of my other encounters with hotel employees were very postiive. Speaking of food, the hotel restaurant, Spencers is first class. I am familiar-Estoy familiarizado with this restaurant since there is also a Spencers at the Doubletree in Spokane. This is not an inexpensive restaurant but the steaks are first class. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. I did have breakfast in the restaurant the second time I stayed there. They had a very extensive-muy amplio breakfast buffet for $17. It was excellent. I'm not sure if they offer this buffet every morning.I would definitely stay at this hotel again for similar circumstances. I fly out of Seattle a lot to go to other parts of the country. It is very convenient to break up the trip. Personally, I probably-probablemente would not stay here if I was spending any length of time in Seattle itself since it can take an hour from the airport to Downtown Seattle when there's a lot of traffic (which in Seattle is most of the time!). It is doable to do this though. This hotel includes meeting spaces which makes it an ideal destination for a conference or a meeting-reunion.
