Best Hotels near Shinglemill Creek, Vashon

Shuttle was at curb when I arrived, no wait. Several airlines use the hotel for employee layovers - therefore the shuttle is easy and frequent. I did mobile check in - hotel is a bit of a maze when you first arrive. I suggest in person check in for this reason so you can get some directions. I was on the second floor (lobby level) and walked in a large square to find my room which was actually very close to the front desk. Room was great, Marriott standard with all expected amenities. Room service was good and prompt. Concierge lounge was nice and had good evening hor'doerves and a standard Marriott breakfast. Had lunch in the restaurant - good service and food. Gym was adequate but I did not see a Peloton bike. Shuttle back to airport was quick - I waited about 5 minutes. Solid experience.

Stayed here recently and liked my stay very much. Due to Covid the hotel restaurant was not open which was disappointing but understandable. I stayed in a spa suite room at a very fair rate. The spa suite is a nice room and allows for a good soak with bubbles to relax. Good Internet, desk for work. Property felt safe , good parking in a well lit lot. Property is near tons of eateries and shopping. Super easy access to I-5 to both Tacoma and Seattle. Staff were efficient and accommodating. I would easily stay here again.

The front desk staff, Sadie, Jaylene, and others were very friendly and helpful with answering questions about the area and helping with items we forgot at home. They have a computer and printer for customers to use. The view on the bay is spectacular. We could see the naval shipyard, ferries running across the bay, and many pleasure boats out in the bay. The rooms were clean and towels were changed daily during our stay which was several days. Breakfast was a grab and go, but it was sufficient to start your day. I would highly recommend this hotel. If I am back in the area in the future, I would definitely stay here.

Nice and comfortable airport hotel. Location is tremendous, as it’s near to SEA airport, with lots of food venues around. A complimentary airport shuttle is available. The shuttle departs every thirty minutes to the airport, at :00 and :30. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff at the hotel, however, one specific shuttle driver was extremely rude and unbothered. I did not catch his name. Didn’t bother helping me with my suitcases and at the airport didn’t bother taking out my suitcases either. Also the shuttle departed full, so some passengers had to stand. Rooms were very clean, but a bit outdated. Since the hotel is big, there are two fitness facilities available, very convenient. I had a 1 bed queen room with a balcony, which is a nice touch. I would stay again, if staying near SEA airport.

I found the Courtyard Federal Way to be a halfway decent place to spend the night, but there were definitely some things that made my stay less than awesome. My room was comfortable and serviceable, and the bed was decent. I was on the 7th floor, but some of my co-workers who also stayed in the hotel on lower floors complained their room smelled strongly of B.O. However, despite being up on the 7th floor, I wasn’t immune to the loud banging as someone took out the trash behind the hotel and let the dumpster lid slam shut at 5:45am, waking me up way earlier than I’d intended. The morning after my sleep was where I experienced the most hiccups. Following the undesired super-early wakeup, I searched for some coffee to help finish my morning takeoff, only to find there wasn’t a coffeemaker in the room, so I went downstairs to see if there was something in the lobby — when I asked the desk clerk about coffee, he admitted not all the rooms had coffeemakers but they didn’t have coffee pots in the lobby, I had to go to the Starbucks shop in the lobby and buy coffee. When I checked in, I was told breakfast was included as part of my stay and that my room number would be on the list, so imagine my surprise when I was told at the Starbucks counter that my room number was not on the list. I went to the front desk and was informed that no, I didn’t get free breakfast after all, but the manager apologized and said she’d apply a credit to my account — however, the breakfast credit is only $10, which in many cases didn’t cover the entirety of the cost of breakfast at the in-house Starbucks/food place, so I ended up still having to pay a few bucks for an overpriced yet meager breakfast burrito. All in all, as a hotel, the place is okay, but definitely not a great overall experience like I’ve come to expect at hotels in general or Courtyard by Marriott locations.
