Pros:

Like it had a wood burning fireplace.

Cons:

The 250 dollar deposit on the room. And the fact that I was charged 15 bucks for them to clean the fireplace since I used it .

Definitely will try other hotel next time within this area
Pros:

It is fine to stay for a week, our room was facing the major street of West Valley Hwy, very noise traffic in the early morning. Breakfast is fine, only weekend serves extra gravy with rice. Housekeeping every other days. River is next to the hotel, leeves was broke out after we checked out, no clue if any impact or flood into the hotel.
7-eleven is few steps next to the hotel. Hotel is 4 miles to SeaTac Airport, but no shuttle van to or from the hotel.

Dissapointed!
Pros:

The employees were friendly and efficient.

Cons:

Traffic noise disrupting sleep.
Heating vent directing airflow across the bed.
No nightlite.
Shower over tub, a horrible configuration for an 81 year old!
The shower head was fixed at height.
Prefer a handheld for the lower regions.
Mix valve keeps drifting to higher temps.
Light shines in from outside across top of front door.

Like family
Pros:

I stayed here from March 2025 until Dec 2025. My stay was amazing! The staff was the best part of the entire stay! They made you feel welcomed and treated you like family. If you have the chance to say hello to Abdul please do. He will bend over backwards for you. Thank you to the staff and the long term guests who made this a great work contract.

Do not stay here.
Pros:

If you want the front desk to answer any of your calls, stay here! The customer service is terrible, I will never stay here again!

Cons:

If you have pets, be prepared to pay an unexpected $100 non refundable fee per pet no matter if you stay one day or multiple.

Pros:

It’s not your typical residence inn rather and upgrade version of Days Inn. So if you are getting it for cheaper rate it’s a good place but if you are being asked pay much higher then may be find a better place. Place is quite and has 7/11 right in front of it so good to grab things of you need it. Staff is generally not happy and always give you an impression as if they are frustrated with their job. Getting in an out is easier. I am going with 3 because I cannot give 4, it’s somewhere in the middle.

Needs some attention
Pros:

You could tell the rooms were tired and overly used. The room I stayed had a slight cigarette smell and kind of musty smell as well. It was mostly clean. Found a couple things on the floor including dead spiders. Seemed maybe the room we stayed in had not been used for awhile.
Was spacious and the bed wasn’t horrible. I’ve read the place wasn’t quiet but there was no loud noises outside our room.

Pros:

This property was an absolute nightmare. I chatted with Expedia the moment we checked in because the room was atrocious. The bed was broken, the floor uneven, a small floor AC unit was duct taped to the window, and the room was dark and musty. The expedia agent tried to call the hotel but could do nothing because the hotel manager was not working that day. After a rude hotel employee “helped us,” it was just a nightmare. They wouldn't let us cancel so they moved us to another room that was only slightly better.
Please take this hotel off of your offerings. I book a lot of trips through you guys but this was unacceptable. Any assistance or advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Warmly,
Alanna

Spacious Room, Convenient Location
Pros:

The Residence Inn/Tukwila was the perfect place for our visit to Seattle. The room was spacious, with all the amenities of home. The perfect place for us on the back-end of our visit to Olympic National Park, and relatively convenient to all the sites we planned to see in Seattle. Would definitely recommend this property for your next visit to Seattle.

Pros:

Breakfast was included

Cons:

You could hear the people upstairs walking on the floor as the floor joist creaked on every step 🚶‍♀️. Once they settled down and went to bed it stopped.

Comfortable and clean
Pros:

Very comfortable and a great set up. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The only thing that was negative was the additional charge for parking. I don't like paying for my stay and then when I arrive there's an additional charge for parking. Just put it in the total charged for the room.

Pros:

The staff were wonderful—very polite and attentive. There was a minor issue with the shower draining slowly, but they came right away to fix it. The only downside was a slight smell of marijuana in the room. Aside from that, my stay was amazing. The room was clean, breakfast was top-tier, and overall I had a great experience.
