Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
This is a great place to stay for an airport layover. The free airport shuttle is very reliable and they offer a to go breakfast bag if you have to leave early in the morning. This is the second time I have used this hotel.

Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center
All in all the hotel was passable but they ripped you off for parking and food in the restaurant. Scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes, coffee, juice and toast... $50.00? $6.00 for a ginger ale in a cup 1/2 filled with ice? Would never stay there again. I don't recommend. Maybe 4.5 out of 10.
