For the first time in a while I actually felt like I was staying at a family members home. Not a hotel. As soon as I entered I was welcomed and accommodated to my familys needs. I explained to them how we had just gotten in from traveling 9 hours and 30 minutes from Japan and how we have two corgis who are with us. immediately I was asked if a first floor room would be best for them. They loved on my two corgis and would always greet them whenever I took them out for their potty time, which is important to me when they do stay in a hotel with me or go anywhere with me. With our hotel room we entered and sadly there was an awful smell, it made me almost throw up. We decided to air out the room before we would talk to the reception. Sadly it didnt work. I mentioned it to the gentleman at the front desk and without any hesitation he apologized and moved us into a new room. Before we moved he also allowed me to go to the new room to look and smell. He didnt want my only experience with them to be a bad one and he succeeded. I loved how there was a nice area to walk my dogs and their grounds are absolutely beautiful with their trees. There are bins to throw our dogs poop away and some of the bins have bags for you just incase you forgot your own. I love how there where benches outside as well as we could enjoy the beautiful view. Even with the experience of the first room we were placed in. Due to the vibes from the staff, making me feel like I was at home (which Ive never really experienced when staying in a hotel.) how swift they were to fix the problem and the beautiful grounds. 5 stars is indeed needed. Efficiency, hospitality and quality. Thank you. Your hotel is saved in my phone for future layovers in the SEATAC area.

Sonesta Simply Suites is, as the name implies, an all suite hotel. First off, the outside as youre driving in is lovely. With all the beautiful trees around the property. It has a place for people to congregate and enjoy as well as BBQ and engage in other outdoor activities. But for me, this is where the niceties ended mostly. The room I got had a full kitchen complete with everything you'd need or expect from these types of hotels, however, the room is definitely showing it's age as is the rest of the hotel. There's a lot of dents, scratches in the wooden furniture and trimmings, and my room in particular someone had broken the lamp fixture. The bed was OK, I slept well enough, but definitely not the softest I've slept in on the road. But it was clean, and in good condition. The entire hotel needs cleaned, my room still had cobwebs in the corners, while the outside halls and especially the elevator just looked dingy and need some serious cleaning. The final thing, there is no free continental breakfast. The breakfast comes as a room package, or you can pay $9.99 to eat at the adjacent hotel (also a Sonesta location). In conclusion, if you don't mind a little long in the tooth accomodations and the occasional dust bunny, then this will definitely work. But there are better.
