Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
Needed a night’s stay near the airport. This place was clean, neat, quiet and easy to check in/out even at odd times. A nice room near where I parked as well. I’m a little sad that I didn’t get a chance to take advantage of the amenities this trip!
