Reception staff was friendly, the new shuttle van (it’s unexpectedly black but with red lettering) ran on time and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is corporate-owned so better than some RRIs but looking a little beat-up, both inside and out. Rates are great though and its no-fee pet—friendly policy has me coming back every o/nt stay at SEA.

Manager Mia and staff are wonderful. It’s my go-to layover hotel next to the airport. Room is spacious and clean. Their shuttle runs 24 hours and frequently. Their driver Hermen is very friendly and nice. Staff always accommodate my needs and are very helpful . Highly recommend!

A wonderful stay! I lost my wallet in the shuttle and I didn't even know it. The driver turned it in right away before I could worry. Not a penny was missing between him and the gracious front desk staff on the evening of January 8th. Thank you!!! There was $300.00 in there. The hotel was so close to the airport you could walk. The shuttle was reliable, and the rooms were spotless. The price was right too. I have traveled the world for forty years. I know good service when I see it. Thank you.

I stayed here during the time that the Green River was at an elevated risk of flooding my neighborhood (mid December '25). Two things led me to choose this hotel; 1.) It was affordable for me +/-$65/night and 2.) they allow pets (I had my cat with me). The staff was polite and even got me a box to make a cat pan (I brought garbage bags from work for a liner) upon request. The room was clean and comfortable (admittedly I had trouble adjusting to the firmness of the mattress of the bed). It wasn't stylish but that wasn't what I needed. The hotel is on International Blvd in SeaTac which isn't necessarily the safest location in the world but the hotel and parking area were secure enough. If I have a complaint it's that I was unable to do laundry in the machines they have due to a 'red flag' issue with my card. There is coffee in the morning but that's it although there is a nearby gas station with a mini-mart and a Denny's about a block or two away if you must have breakfast in the morning. Also, many restaurants deliver there so getting food isn't a problem either. If you're not looking for flashy amenities but rather a clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet room, I wholeheartedly recommend The Red Roof Inn in SeaTac.

Amazing pet friendly rooms,very spacious and had a porch! Near everything. The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy but I had no problems and we stayed a long time while waiting for our apartment to be ready for move in. Doordash is available 24 7 and everything is a short drive away if you actually have a vehicle . We will stay again! Please make sure to clean up after your pets,keep waste contained and tip your housekeepers so we can continue to have this as an option for a pet friendly hotel near the airport with a great price! Housekeeping will do trash pick up if u call the front desk and let them know its needed. The only downfall is the laundry room as the other guests ,if they decide to be dishonest can remove your laundry and put thiers in after you've already paid ,and use your cycle. This happened to me twice. So if u do laundry there,stay with your clothes. Overall a great experience during our 3 weeks staying here and will return one day. Thankyou redroof inn for an amazing stay!

Stayed overnight for following days connecting flight. Front desk personnel on duty that night 1/30/26 was so helpful and nice in assisting us with pick up shuttle from the Seattle airport. She even asked if we needed shuttle the next day flight… a very good gesture and care for customers. Harman, shuttle driver was so nice and courteous in his dealings with us and took good care of our luggage. He even went as far as getting us the big cart without asking for it. These are the trademark of excellence in service.

Stayed here when visiting a friend for a short trip from Philadelphia to Seattle. Very accommodating! Clean room, convenient location. No complaints. The front desk person even had an extra spoon to give us for yogurt we kept in the room and wanted to eat after many restaurants etc were closed. Great staff
