What guests think

At Sea-Tac Airport Value Inn, travellers find a budget, no-frills stay near the airport with generally friendly staff and straightforward rooms, but the property is dated, traffic and plane noise are common, and amenities feel very basic.

Many reviews note clean rooms, but cleanliness varies, and maintenance issues like low shower heads, worn furnishings, and malfunctioning fixtures come up. Wi‑Fi is frequently unreliable or unavailable, and breakfast, when offered, is a minimal grab‑and‑go of coffee, bananas, and packaged pastries, with some guests finding hours or inclusion inconsistent. Parking is tight and limited, and some guests felt the immediate area and on‑site activity could seem sketchy. Expect a basic overnight stop when price and proximity matter most.

This is a run-down motel with bare minimum upkeep and repairs being done. Airport shuttle was supposed to be included, but when we called to be picked up from the airport they said it was "cancelled". The shuttle to the airport the next morning was available, but we had to pay for it.

Closeness to the airport is what is good about this place. Besides that, it is noisy because of traffic. Towels, soap were limited. Parking is very limited. No washer or dryer available. Only one trashcan in the room including bathroom. No hook behind bathroom door.

Reasonably clean and comfortable. Close to the airport, so, some noise from airplanes. The free "breakfast" available was coffee, tea, bananas, & three types of pre-packaged pastries. Parking is free; lot is narrow, so, not suitable for vehicles larger than a minivan.

Got there and i understand it’s an inn and are okay and aren’t a huge chain hotel but when we entered the room the previous room stayers trash was still in the room (which was completely full) along with their wet towels from their shower in the bathroom. Tried asking for new towels and was unable to obtain any after asking for them and waiting for over 2 hours and never receiving new towels. As well as under the cover there was still the previous stayers hair underneath the top cover blanket. We were only in town for a concert so we had to leave and after we got ready to leave we tried to ask for the room to be cleaned since we weren’t able to earlier due to needing to get ready to quickly leave again, we waited in the lobby for over 30 minutes due to a situation with other stayers we were told it was going to be another 10 minutes till a manger arrived to help with the people ahead of us due to our concerts we were unable to stay and therefore picked up blankets on the way back and just covered the bed so we were able to sleep due to how late we got back to our room that night.

The property was not clean the bathroom tub had mold on it. And the toilet was old that when you sat on it broke. I could not use the fridge as it was rusted and had food stains around it. The décor, trim,and walls were filthy. The remote had duct tape on it with blood stains. The pictures online definitely didn’t match what was in person. There was a random guy moving cars around in the back. Every time you leave the key has to be reactivated in order to enter. And the breakfast was not a breakfast and was first come first serve. I felt so gross each night going to sleep. And there was very limited parking some guests parked along the fence making hard to get out. The best part was the proximity of things to do and or eat, close to freeway, gas stations, and shopping. I know see why they had rooms available. The staff was accommodating but still just not a sanitary experience.

We arrived late for our check in as we were coming in from Canada and we did inform well in advance that we will do a late checkin but we still had to wait for 50 minutes to check-in. The girl working overnight seemed to be a bit confused on the process and the lady checking us out in the morning was horrendous. She tried to take my $50 deposit by saying that the girl at night didn’t charge me for the deposit so I am good. She was speaking so fast and was trying to be clever and thought I wouldn’t be able to understand her but I made sure that she released my $50 refundable deposit as I showed her the transaction that I did. Good thing I used my credit card to pay for deposit coz I was able to show her the transaction. Would not at all recommend this to anyone. Very terrible customer experience.

We had a terrible night. Our flight to Vegas was cancelled on Christmas eve. We booked a room last minute and arrived to this place late at 3am. But they did not check us in. They said they cannot check-in guests from 3am to 4am every night. We had to wait outside in the cold for one hour. There is no lobby. They did not even take our luggage. The neighborhood is not safe. The staff (one person) in a windowed office was extremely unfriendly and unprofessional.

It was an enjoyable stay, staff was friendly and efficient, the rooms have been updated with laminate floors, everything was very clean and well tended, it’s an older building but they are taking good care of it. The heater worked well, actually better than some of the higher end properties I’ve stayed at. The hot water was HOT, made for soothing soaks. The pillows were a little flat, if you are used to firm thick pillows, bring your own. The bedding was nice and clean and comfortable. The price was good and the deposit was very reasonable, unlike several other places I looked at.

My son and I booked reservations there because of the low price and breakfast included. It didn't mention that "breakfast" is a piece of fruit and packaged "pastries". I ended up buying frozen breakfast bowls at a local grocery store. The room was clean but crowded - there was a small table and two chairs wedged between the window and one of the beds. The bathroom was interesting. The toilet seat was old and had wear spots on it. The door was wider than the space between the door frame and the bathroom counter - so a cutout in the door at counter level was their solution. The door wouldn't stay open unless it was wedged in place with the luggage rack. There were two sinks. On the left was a faucet that proved only a tiny stream of water and no water pressure. On the right, the faucet worked but hot or cold it squeaked. The beds crunched when you lay on them. Street noise and footsteps in the room above ours kept me awake Friday night. Our clothes needed pressing but we had to get an iron and "board" from the office. The iron was broken and had wires hanging out. It was not an ideal place to stay.
