SEATAC Hotels

[Nator72]

Hi. I'm looking for a hotel near the airport (with an airport shuttle) for one night pre-cruise. Lots of choices online so I'm hoping for an insiders tip. Don't want to spent too much money (under $150) since we just need a place to crash for one night, but would like it to be clean and perhaps have a bar/restaurant since we won't be renting a car. We will be taking a shuttle to the cruise port the next day. Thank you.

Hilton family , Best Western or Holiday Inn would be my choice.

We have stayed at all of these places several times and used their airport shuttle:

Note that the Best Western is about the farthest south from the airport you can get and be an airport hotel with a straight face.

 

Aside from the majors, the Coast Gateway and Cedarbrook are decent and exceptional, respectively.

 

Consider booking down by Southcenter Mall - great expansion of dining options and shopping for last minute/forgotten items as well as two excellent large wine/spirits stores. DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Courtyard, etc.

If it's just what you list above as requirements OP, without the need for convenient pre-cruise shopping, Sleep Inn was the best-rated cheap hotel with shuttle to airport when we first researched this. IHOP is on-property, and a few more casual bars/restos within a couple of blocks. Never been disappointed with a stay - and they're a shuttle stop for the 'airport area to pier' shuttle services.

We're staying at the BW SeaTac precruise this coming September. Originally booked at Sleep Inn but my wife received a $100 BW gift card from work which made it a no brainer

Hi VibeGuy,

Regarding the several hotels near Southcenter Mall, are they walking distance to the large win/spirits store.

 

 

Thanks! :)

I suppose it depends how motivated you are by wines and spirits.

 

There are two stores: BevMo is across the street and down about three city blocks from the DoubleTree Suites.

 

Total Wine is literally adjacent to the Courtyard Seattle Southcenter. This is a low-rise Courtyard from the original generation.

 

Home2 by Hilton is smack dab between the two shops, just over a quarter of a mile walking distance to either them over flat/safe terrain.

 

The other Courtyard (Seattle Sea-Tac Area, a midrise building), the Embassy Suites, the Residence Inn, and the Ramada are a 3/4 mile walk to Total.

 

Almost all of the properties around there will offer a local-area shuttle and many offer an airport shuttle.

Okay Great! That gives me some options thank you very much!

Thank you. I appreciate all the feedback. I ended up booking Courtyard Marriott by the airport. It had everything we are looking for and a good rate with AAA of 89.00. Now I can spend more money on the post-cruise hotel, where we'll be close enough to see and do all the city has to offer.

Excellent rate! I loves me a bargain. Enjoy your cruise. :)

That is a good rate. Good choice!
