Courtyard Hotels in Tukwila

We were unable to drive to our house due to an icy hill, so we stayed a night at the Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Sea-Tac Area. We booked the room through a booking platform and chose the option that included prepaid parking. Imagine our surprise when the hotel charged us for parking anyway — and for two days, since we were there on both sides of midnight. I wrote to Marriott HQ about this and was told someone would be getting in touch. I'm still waiting. Finally, I wrote again. This time they totally ignored my email. DO NOT CHOOSE THE FREE PARKING OPTION. The hotel also socked us for $100 because we brought our dog. (A much better hotel where we just stayed charged a $15 dog fee.) The room was spartan (to say the least) and offered no amenities. When we asked about a microwave, they brought an ancient, decrepit model to our room. We could have heated our coffee faster with a flashlight. Free breakfast? Apparently not when you're spending a mere $239 (plus the dog fee). Rather than pay the outrageous prices at the on-site restaurant, we got a fine breakfast at the nearby Panera Bread. The one bright spot was the front-desk staff, who were friendly and seemed to care about the customers (and their dogs). But everything else seemed to deliver this message: ”We're here for one purpose — to separate you from as much of your money as we possibly can. And give you very little in return.” There are many other hotels in the Tukwila area, including some new ones that look very promising. I'd look into those before I'd ever consider coming to this one.

Clean and comfortable hotel. Room was spacious. Conveniently located close to the Westfield Southcenter Mall and few other shops and food venues. A complimentary airport shuttle is available from 4am until midnight. Upon checking in, I was told that my payment wasn’t completed, while this was done and confirmed few weeks before arrival already. Even though I showed my confirmation in the Trip.com app, they couldn’t accommodate me straight away. Luckily Trip.com has a 24/7 help centre and they were able to help me sort out the situation immediately and accordingly. For this, I thank Trip.com and their representatives. The lady at the desk told me she gave me a nice room, because of the inconvenience. I never asked for this, but it also turned out the room was nothing else than what I had already booked. The fitness is small, but has quiet the necessary equipment for a good workout. Very pricey for what you get, but since all accommodations are like this nowadays, I did not count this in my review. I would stay again, but only after confirming my booking.
