Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, WA
Room was clean, hallway carpet seems a bit dated and made it harder to roll the suitcase. Breakfast was well stocked, however the person cleaning the dishes was really loud banging the dishes, not the kind of noise you enjoy first thing in the morning, especially in such a large open space
