Best Western Plus Tacoma Hotel
The staff had me move my car TWICE just for there to not be anyone else even close to my parking spot. They said it was because I was in a non electric car spot, but literally NO ONE else parked in the spot I was in…. And then wouldn’t even bring blankets to my room

DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport
I love this hotel for the proximity to the airport and the ability to leave my car for an extended time. With the onsite restaurant there is no need to go anywhere. The free airport shuttle runs every 20 minutes making it very easy to connect to a flight.
