Courtyard by Marriott Seattle SeaTac Airport

Courtyard by Marriott Seattle SeaTac Airport Overview

First Impressions

The Courtyard by Marriott Seattle SeaTac Airport sits right on International Boulevard, and honestly, it’s one of those places that just works. You’re literally minutes from the airport — I’m talking a quick five-minute drive — but somehow it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck in some sterile airport zone. The building has that modern Marriott look, clean lines and all, but there’s something welcoming about the lobby that puts you at ease right away. The staff greets you with genuine warmth, and the check-in process is efficient and hassle-free.

Location That Actually Makes Sense

Here’s what I love about this spot in Seattle — you’re close enough to catch an early flight without stress, but you’re also positioned perfectly for exploring the area. The hotel sits in this sweet spot where you can easily hop on the light rail and be downtown in about 45 minutes, or you can drive north to places like Pike Place Market in roughly 20 minutes (traffic depending, of course). There’s parking right at the hotel, which honestly saves you a headache if you’re driving around the Pacific Northwest. The location truly offers the best of both worlds for travelers.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from a three-star Marriott property — thoughtfully designed without being fancy. The bed was genuinely comfortable, and I actually slept well despite being so close to the airport (the soundproofing is better than you’d think). What caught my attention was the work desk setup — it’s clear they designed this space for business travelers who need to get things done. The bathroom was spotless, good water pressure, and they’ve got those little touches that show someone’s paying attention to details. Modern amenities and thoughtful furnishings make the space feel inviting.

Food and Practical Stuff

The breakfast situation here is solid — they serve American classics that’ll fuel you up for whatever you’re doing that day. I’m talking eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, the works. The restaurant area has this relaxed vibe where you can actually sit and plan your day without feeling rushed. You know what impressed me? The staff genuinely seemed to care about making sure everything was running smoothly, from the front desk to the dining area. The dining experience reflects the hotel’s commitment to guest satisfaction.

Why Guests Love It

Look, couples especially seem to get this place — they’ve rated the location 8.8 out of 10, and I can see why. It’s that perfect balance of being practical (hello, airport access) while still feeling like you’re staying somewhere that cares about your experience. Whether you’re using this as a base for exploring the Seattle area or you just need a reliable spot before a flight, the Courtyard delivers without any drama. The whole place just feels reliable, you know? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need when you’re traveling. This hotel consistently exceeds expectations for its category.

  Note: don’t make the mistake in getting into the Marriott shuttle that runs every 15 min at the airport. You need to contact the Courtyard by Marriott to get picked up.

• Valerie from United States – 6 April 2025 (8/10)

  Came in very early morning. Was able to get checked in right away. Concierge was very helpful and gracious. Room was beautiful, spacious and clean. Nice facilities although I didn’t stay long I was pleased. I really enjoyed having the shuttle available to me, it made my stay convenient until I could get my rental car. One thing I would fix is to have someone to alert the front desk if they step away rather than standing there waiting. Another thing is the guy who runs the lunch counter walked past with a large empty trash can and it was very disgusting inside. Maybe use a water hose or something to clean it out. However a pleasant stay overall and I would stay again.

• Venkata from India – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  It was good experience. There had blocked some amount at the time of check in. Hope they will refund that amount.
  During checkout paid the amount using some other card
