Top 10 El Palmar Hotels

Positives - room was very spacious and the property was located close to shopping and dining as well as the airport. Nice pool area and outside seating area near grill. Laundry facility had four washers and dryers that accepted credit cards as payment. Super helpful! Negatives - Our room was right next to railroad tracks that had freight trains passing at all hours. It definitely interrupted our sleep. We found spiders and crickets in one of the bathrooms. The shower stall was a really stupid design. The shower head pointed at the door so you had to move it off to the side until the water came to temperature and you could get in. You couldn't move it back once you were in because the shower door didn't stay closed. Worst/cheapest design I have ever seen! Didn't care for the complimentary breakfast. Hot foods (eggs, potatoes, sausage) were prepared with a southwest flair so too spicy for us. Why not serve plain and have hot sauces available to add for those that wish to use it? Not much of a selection of other items to choose from either.

Outside the hotel is Lake Washington, while Boeing is next to the park, the environment is super good, the restaurant has a Chinese chef, very warm, when he goes to work, he will take the initiative to give us porridge, the restaurant's steak is also great! Very warm hotel, I have stayed at three hotels in Seattle, and my daughter said that this hotel is the most comfortable!

The independent wooden house is very large, has heating, there is a barbecue in front of the yard, the breakfast is good, the receptionist is very polite, the hotel has a free van, we go to the subway station by car, cost-effective!

The biggest advantage is that you can walk from the airport late at night without having to wait for your hotel pick-up pass. It was older than I expected and didn't feel very comfortable. I didn't have breakfast so I can't judge. Even if you can walk from the airport, it costs 40,000 yen for a room without meals. It feels expensive to exceed.

Shuttle was at curb when I arrived, no wait. Several airlines use the hotel for employee layovers - therefore the shuttle is easy and frequent. I did mobile check in - hotel is a bit of a maze when you first arrive. I suggest in person check in for this reason so you can get some directions. I was on the second floor (lobby level) and walked in a large square to find my room which was actually very close to the front desk. Room was great, Marriott standard with all expected amenities. Room service was good and prompt. Concierge lounge was nice and had good evening hor'doerves and a standard Marriott breakfast. Had lunch in the restaurant - good service and food. Gym was adequate but I did not see a Peloton bike. Shuttle back to airport was quick - I waited about 5 minutes. Solid experience.

Dropped in for a weekend with the kids. Hotel was clean, bright, and well-situated to the airport. The property provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport as well as in and around Tukwila, which was an unexpected bonus. Carla was especially thoughtful and took great care of us while there! The breakfast buffet was ample and although the pantry was out of ice cream, there were plenty of other snack options for the late night cravings. The hotel is within walking distance to shopping and dining options. In summary, a great little property with friendly, helpful staff who went the extra mile for us to make our stay a good one.

The hotel service is considerate and the customer service is clean. The front desk informs clearly. In-room dining is fast, and the ingredients are fresh and authentic. The delivery staff are professional and courteous. It was a good experience. I will choose it next time I want to fly.

So let's start with saying I stayed at this hotel recently, think a couple of days ago, with my family so we could attend a funeral. I selected a hotel near the airport for ease of access knowing that we all came from three different places, using two different airlines and one person driving. Our troubles started upon arrival. Despite having one member's air travel being delayed by an hour, we still arrived long before the 4pm check-in time and was promptly told the room was not ready and we could call later to find out when it is ready. There is something... odd going on with their phone. At times the call would not connect, like it did when we were at the airport when I tried to call, and other times it will go through. This happened throughout the entire stay, so I simply asked if they had an approximate time when they think it might be ready. She snapped at me that check-in is 4pm, as if I hadn't heard her before. Years ago, I did housekeeping for a summer. I know there is a list, and where we are on the list might suggest if we are going to be closer to 4pm or a little earlier. We left with our bags, despite them offering to hold them for us, because no trust had been established here. I called twice later, the first time the call would not connect, the second time our rooms were ready at 2pm. We were not given the Preimum WiFi password at check in. We were not given pool information at check-in. Really the only information we were given at all was about having a menu in the room for the breakfast service which is not... true. We all heard it, and not only was it not there, another staff member seemed confused why we were asking for it. This brings us to the other problems. This hotel advertises services and amenities they literally do not have. The Basil restaurant is not operational and is described as permanently closed by staff. There is no onsite restaurant. This meant, for us, that people on different meal schedules were now needing to eat together because the convenience of onsite preparation is simply not there. The first night, I noticed there is no HBO. They advertise on their website, but I assure you there is no HBO. It's not listed in the guide and there is no amount of channel surfing that will find what is not there. They do have StarzEncore but mostly it's an On Demand service that charges 19.99 for movies that are currently streaming on subscriptions services. These are not even in theater movies. The TV on-screen guide will suggest you can cast to the TV. This is not true. Embassy Suites has disabled this feature. The app is certainly capable of this feature, but the way they have it set-up is to use your phone as a glorified remote. It can not cast to the TV. We paid for a premium suit as well. 3 adults in a room that is advertised to hold 6. The premium service affords us certain additional services, see attached photo, which includes the Premium WiFi I had to call and wait to get and the snacks which are said to

I was having one of those days ”all bad”, 4 1/2 hour delay in Long Beach, missed flight at Lax, rainy and cold upon arrival in Seattle. I walked out to the curb and flagged down the first shuttle bus which happened to be for the Residence Inn by Marriott. It was a short drive from the airport and it felt so good walking into a warm, well appointed lobby, with one of the nicest front desk individuals you could ever ask for. Armon was courteous, professional, and his incredible friendly attitude turned my day around. The hotel is like new, super clean and the rooms are spacious and well laid out. I'd highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Seattle area, and if you are fortunate to have Armon on duty, you really scored!
