Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Kirkland
Choosing the right airport for a trip to Kirkland depends on your point of origin and transport preferences. The Kenmore Air Harbor Seaplane Base (LKE) is by far the most convenient and nearest option, primarily serving specialized seaplane flights. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is the major international gateway and the most practical choice for most travelers flying into the region, though it is located in the neighboring city of SeaTac and requires a longer transit journey through Seattle or Bellevue. Paine Field Airport (PAE), located in Everett, serves as a smaller domestic hub that may offer a more relaxed experience but requires reliance on shuttles or private transport to reach the Eastside. Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre (CXH) and Gray Army Airfield (GRK) are not in Kirkland and are not typically suitable for commercial travel to this destination. Travelers prioritizing speed should choose LKE, while those needing international flight connectivity should stick to SEA. Always check transit schedules in advance, as public transportation options to Kirkland can be infrequent outside of major hubs.

The location served our needs and the room appeared clean upon arrival. However, we have mixed emotions regarding this property. There was a very friendly young man at the front desk who was very caring and helpful. He was wonderful. On the other side, the fire alarm went off at 5AM and when we called the front desk, the first couple times there was no response, then someone hung up on us. In addition, we were told every other day the room would be cleaned. We stayed 3 nights and our room was never cleaned.FromUS$140

Very close to a friend's house, there are restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc., so the location is very good for us. The hotel is very close to the 405 highway, a bit noisy, but also very convenient. The hotel has an elevator, which is stronger than many big car stores. There are not many varieties of breakfast, so you can accept it. The room equipment was a bit old and the refrigerator in our room was broken. The two big beds are very tall and very soft, and one adult with one child is still very loose. The service staff had a older grandmother in addition to the front desk, and everyone else was very NICE. We left a tip for HOUSE KEEPING, and the waiter also deliberately left a note. The only thing that was a little bad was the air conditioner in the room, which was a bit noisy.FromUS$111
