Very clean and quiet

AUG

The Sea Tac Value Inn was extremely quiet despite being close to the Seattle airport. We had constant problems all week with our room credit card key not working and had to go multiple times to replace it. There were not enough towels and only 2 pillows, no extras. There was no alarm clock. The room... read full review »

Hotel Staff Nice

JUL

2007

Hotel staff was very nice. Area was alright. Didn't think it was a high crime area like some other people that commented thought. Parking was limited and small. Bed was too soft. Sometimes felt like I was going to fall off the edge. I also had a sore back the first few nights (stayed 9 nights). Although... read full review »

The Sea Tac Value Inn was a really nice comfortable hotel. There were not a lot of extras but if you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, clean place to stay this place is great! The staff was very friendly and very helpful in recommending restaurants that were kid friendly. The only problem that we encountered was not knowing that there is also a Sea Tac Inn. So that is definitely something to keep in mind when making reservations and getting directions, you must punch in Sea Tac VALUE Inn, but other than that little issue, we were very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay... read full review »

The Sea Tac Value Inn by the Sea Tac Airport was very convenient to the airport. The clerk that greeted us in the evening when we arrived was very polite and he offered us any help that we might need. There was only a small resturant within walking distance which meant that we had to drive and there were resturants within 1 mile of the inn. The room was very clean and I liked how they fanned out the toilet paper/kleenex and towels...that was cute. The bed did have a bit to be desired seemed like it might have been a queen size mattress on a double foundation...but was comfortable enough...we will... read full review »

This hotel is right on a busy highway and in the flight pattern of SeaTac Airport. Normally this isn't an issue as this is a common fact of airport hotels. But past experiences were in hotels with good sound-proofing so we didn't hear traffic/air noise; this isn't the case with this property. The room was small but the shower was lovely. Our car rental location was right between the hotel and the airport so turning the car in was a breeze. The room was clean, the staff friendly--it was primarily the traffic noise and the location, a not-so-good part of Highway 99, as it used to be known, that... read full review »

Terrible Neighborhood

leisure traveller

JUL

2007

The SeaTac Value Inn is in the worst neighborhood I have ever been in. First of all the power went out in the Motel, which because it was so hot we stood outside the door with the door open. Then, since it was getting towards the late afternoon we saw transients walking by the Inn, and asking us for money. The room itself smelled heavily of either fumigation or bug spray. I have asthma and I would not have been able to breathe that air all night. The owner/manager assured us the power would be back on shortly. We waited over an hour and then turned in our keys and left. This place was a... read full review »

The Sea Tac Valu Inn would be a great place to stay if they would invest a little money into bedding. The sheets were definately "cheap", the blankets had holes in them and were like cardboard and the bedspreads on both beds had holes in them. The pillows were very thin and we had to ask for extras to be somewhat comfortable. But, the good news is that everything was very clean. Neither the sinks or the tub had plugs. We couldn't give our child a bath since we couldn't stop up the tub. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They seemed to really care about our comfort.

2006

The room was clean and comfortable, but not fancy. A normal motel room. We had a group renting 4 rooms, and all rooms had a mini-fridge and microwave except one. Hotel staff were very helpful with area information and were very friendly. The location is ideal if you need to get to the airport as it is just about 3 miles south of SEATAC. Grocery and drugstores close by, but not many restaurants in the area. A Thai restaurant is next door to the motel, but we didn't go there. I would recommend for anyone wanting an inexpensive, convenient motel.

Very Clean

2007

Sea Tac valu Hotel was VERY CLEAN. We were put in a room next to the highway, it was very noisy. Noise from the airport and the planes were a factor too. But all the other hotels were as close if not closer. Parking lot was too small. No hair dryer or coffee pot in the room. Staff was friendy and answered any and all questions. Would I stay here again? Perhaps but I would ask for another room away from the main road and I would bring my coffee pot and hair dryer. Cleaning staff could not speak english but other wise it was an ok room, clean, clean, clean.

Good Hotel

MAY

2007

The hotel and staff were friendly and helpful. The room and cleanliness were comfortable and good. There was a microwave, TV and refrigator in the room. No suitcase stands. Two chairs and a table, nightstand and low dresser where TV was. I asked and received a hair dryer at the front desk but they did not have any clocks, at all. The free continental breakfast consisted of coffee, fruit and pastries.

Shopping: Short Drive, There was a Safeway about two blocks away and IHOP about six blocks. Thai dining next door but all other dining you need to drive to.

2007

I chose the Sea Tac Value Inn on my recent trip to Seattle and overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. The staff was very welcoming upon my arrival and gave me no hassles about my unexpected late check in. The room was small but clean and cozy. There was no hair dryer or refrigerator but the shower was great and the tv had some cable channels. A big plus was the bus stop right outside the hotel that went to downtown Seattle and the airport for just $1.50. I really enjoyed my stay and I'd definitely stay again.

Dining: Short Walk,

Good Value & Location

2006

The SeaTac Valu Inn was, indeed, a value. Bed, table and with two chairs, dresser & television. Bathroom separate from vanity area; adequate space for clothes hanging. The location was convenient -- which happens to be on a major road BY the airport. One did hear traffic (both car and plane) throughout the night. There is an excellent Thai restaurant immediately next door, otherwise one would have to drive to find meals. The hotel "breakfast" was coffee, piece of fruit (banana), and a packaged pastry.

The hotel was small & independently owned. I thought the room was comfortable, the bathroom very large(included bathtub & shower), and the price was right! The hotel staff was very friendly & helpful, they even let us check-in early! This hotel was very close to airport, grocery, and restaurants.

Shopping: Short Drive, Hotel situated on International Blvd & therefore, was easy to get to many Washington State cities.

The Sea-Tac Valu Inn was a very comfortable place to stay. The staff was very helpful in giving directions and suggestions for dining or a good time. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Internet if you need it and great TV station selection. I would definitly recommend this motel to friends and family.

Dining: Short Walk, Thai Restaurant right next door. McDonalds and Taco Bell about 3 blocks south. Easy walk.

Good Value for the Money

2006

This hotel was fine - for the money. It was, certainly, better than I expected. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were perfectly adequate. It was a better experience than I expected - and the location, although close to the airport (which I wanted) was pretty quite.

Shopping: Short Drive, It would be good if there weren't cigarette burns all over the bathtub - but, other than that, no complaints.
