Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites SeaTac by IHG
We stayed in Room 307, and if you are sensitive to noise, you might ask to stay on the top floor. You could hear every footfall and dropped object through the ceiling. The room was very clean though! Excellent housekeeping. The breakfast was not great either: sad potatoes and glum omelettes.

Because of an early flight, we didn’t have the chance to experience the hot meal breakfast like eggs, bacon or sausage. We were there at 4:38 am they only have muffins, breads, cereals and some small packages for hot cereals. And they have coffees ready.
