Due to storms in Seattle, plane delayed 4 hrs, didn't arrive till 4am . No airport 1 shuttle after 1am. Room booking had been cancelled and room unavailable. Told i couldn't book in till 3pm even though my 4 night booking was prepaid. Took 45mins for receptionist to organise a room. Hotel location is good if you don't have transport. Very basic hotel. Day staff lovely.

Lobby was great -- the rest, not so much.
First room had no heat. Neither did the second, but they provided a plug-in space heater. Pretty sure the stains on the carpet in both rooms was pet urine. Bullet hole in lobby window. I would say it was a Roach Motel but the roaches probably had better accomodations.

The toilet wasn't cleaned. Bathroom door does not close all the way as well as the window. Old furniture, not maintained. The room price is usually good compare to other hotels near by the airport. Service shuttle is good. On time.

Was given tiny room in cavelike setting between laundry and electrical room. Bathroom sink next to the bed. Shower no tub. Asked to switch rooms. Told it was another 75 dollars. Room might have been 8 feet by 10 feet. And the 24 hour shuttle doesn’t run from 1 to 7 am. Not at all happy. Desk lady seemed to agree that room was poor. Oh and bare walls.

We loved the second room we were offered except the beds were somewhat uncomfortable. We appreciated the airport shuttle and were able to go the the air museum near the airport as well as the airport which helped us use up an otherwise empty day. When we first arrived, we were given one of the smaller rooms in an annex building--these were less expensive but not very desirable--smelled like smoke, small, front door was not tight to the frame so air was getting in, generator running at full speed. We paid extra to get a better room in the main building.

Ready to leave
Had to request shuttle twice from the airport. About an hour delay. Desk clerk was pleasant but hotel understaffed by her own admission. Room was on back side of property and hard to get to with luggage and felt unsecure. Tv did not work and questionable cleanliness. Limited electrical receptacles to charge cell phones.
