I think this hotel is quite suitable for travelers catching a flight, transiting, or needing an overnight stay in Seattle after a late-night arrival. Its biggest advantage is its proximity to Seattle-Tacoma Airport.
First, let's talk about the airport shuttle. My actual experience differed a bit from what I read online about the 'shuttle being convenient.' I waited at the airport for almost 30 minutes before seeing the hotel shuttle. And when it finally arrived, the driver didn't stop and just drove past. Eventually, I had no choice but to drag my luggage and walk to the hotel. The picture shows the designated waiting area on the 3rd floor, where there's a free phone to call the hotel.
After walking it once, I realized it's not complicated at all. You just follow the signs towards the Link Light Rail station, and you'll see the hotel's sign near the station. It took me less than 15 minutes to walk with my luggage, so if you don't have much luggage, walking is definitely an option.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I explained the shuttle situation to the front desk. The staff were incredibly friendly and advised me that it's best to call the hotel in advance to confirm pick-up. The next morning, taking the hotel shuttle back to the airport was much smoother. Shuttles depart on the hour and half-hour, so you just need to be downstairs about 5 minutes beforehand.
The hotel itself is generally clean. Although it shows some age, the facilities are well-maintained. If you're just staying for one night like me, to catch a flight the next day, it's perfectly fine.
One thing that might be unusual for Chinese tourists is the lack of a kettle in the room. I found this a bit hard to accept 😂, especially since it was already getting a bit chilly in October. The room did provide two complimentary bottles of mineral water, but I had already bought my own, so I didn't drink them.
The hotel charges a $50 deposit upon check-in, but there's no need to worry about that; refunds are processed very quickly. I received my refund the day after I checked out.
Overall, the hotel's biggest advantages are its proximity to the airport, excellent front desk service, and clean rooms, making it convenient for going to the airport the next day. The facilities aren't brand new, and it shouldn't be considered a resort hotel, but as an overnight transit hotel near SeaTac Airport, I think it's perfectly adequate.
If I were to stay again, I wouldn't wait endlessly for the shuttle at the airport: if I don't have much luggage, I'd just walk for about 15 minutes; if I want to take the shuttle, I'd recommend calling the hotel in advance to confirm, to avoid waiting in the cold wind for a long time, only for the shuttle to arrive and not stop, like what happened to me.
