Airport DT seems dominated by the bean counting management, with check-in often chaotic. Tower rooms are decent; corner is supposed to be an "upgrade" there, but I prefer the regular rooms. Breakfast not worth the co-pay.
Those parties... It's possible I may have only stayed at DT Southcenter on Fri/Sat nights, but it seems there's always party at night down there right by the elevator. Staff is fine, the facilities in and of themselves are fine... it's just the clientele there. Similar story at Embassy Suites in Tukwila and Lynnwood... these hotels are somehow magnets for people who make lots of noise. The only good thing about that DT (vs ES) is that you can actually have breakfast in peace whereas ES breakfasts are like a zoo with families/kids and high school teams.
DT Seatac: I've been there as a room guest, parking customer, and meeting attendee. And that's ultimately what that property is. It's not just a hotel but a convergence of a lot of people being there for different things. I think that adds to the vibe there, which I found initially amusing but maybe not so much anymore. I can see what you're saying about the management there.
So between those three hotels, for the same price would you choose the Hilton?
