DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
Parking key entry did not work and now we are being charged daily for parking even though we checked out after 1 night! Cannot get a hold of anyone who can help me correct the recurring error. Restaurant over priced.

The Paramount Hotel
Great hotel for a quick business stay. Valet is worth it if it is available because parking near ny can by sketchy. The staff was extremely friendly.

Executive Hotel Pacific
Leaky refrigerator, water was not very hot in the shower. Overpriced breakfast, so I declined. Restaurant attached to the hotel was meh and also overpriced. Parking was extremely inconvenient, so much so that I got lost and ended up in a minor traffic collision due to gridlock. Explanation for directions ...
