Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kent
For the vast majority of travelers, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is the only practical gateway to Kent. It is the primary commercial international airport for the region, offering the most robust transport connections, including the Link light rail which provides a direct, budget-friendly route to the Kent area. Other airports on this list are not in Kent; they are specialized facilities in neighboring cities that primarily serve private, military, or regional commuter needs. King County (Boeing Field) International Airport (BFI) serves as a hub for private and regional flights and is located in the Seattle/Tukwila area, making it a viable alternative only for private aviation passengers. Paine Field Airport (PAE) serves the Everett region to the north and, while increasingly handling commercial flights, is quite distant from Kent. Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane Base (LKE) is a niche seaplane facility in Kenmore, and Gray Army Airfield (GRK) is a military facility in Texas, necessitating complex ground transfers or rental cars if accessed. For the best balance of cost and convenience, stick to SEA.

I chose this hotel because it was a reasonably priced hotel with parking available. The location is in the area where the construction site and office are located, so it was difficult to find nearby restaurants, but I was able to get to downtown in about 20 minutes.FromUS$161

I was looking for a hotel close to a friend's house and took a chance on the Best Western Plus. The area I was in is known to me and frankly, I wasn't looking forward to staying in that area, but I am glad I did. The hotel is only two floors and as it is an older property it was suggested that I stay on the second floor for less noise. I did stay there during the week so that may have helped with the noise level.
The room was very clean and the view to the golf course was very nice.
The complimentary breakfast was very good, make your own pancakes via the machine in the photos listed.
A washer and dryer, coin operated, was available for use. A gym and a small snack area were also available.
**They do not have a shuttle, but are still close to the airport and right on the golf course.
A Chinese restaurant and an Irish pub were close by. I was told to try the pub, but thought I would go in for some American-style Chinese. Give it a miss. I should have. Irish next time.
***QUICK NOTE***
Wi-fi IS available in the rooms. In the description it read only in the common areas, but it is free and available in the guest rooms.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again.FromUS$127

Service was good, however I think someone had been sleeping outside my window, walls were so thin I could hear the people next door arguing and getting it on about 4 times. The room was relatively clean but looked like it had been repaired multiple times. It sufficed for its intended purpose but I have not experienced a stay like that before.FromUS$90

I have booked many places and I did not like it here and will never come back. If you stay here, never give your credit card information to this business unless you want to lose 10-20%($25) of your tip without asking. No one serves you but they still automatically charge your credit card even if you have paid in full for your stay. You will not have this problem in other places.FromUS$83
