Why Concert-goers love it
This hotel hits the sweet spot for fans heading into Seattle for shows. It's a quick drive (or rideshare) to top venues like Lumen Field, while being far enough out to offer a quieter recovery space. The
24-hour front desk and late
check-out at noon make it easy for late-night arrivals or slow mornings. Plus, with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport just 9.3 miles away, it’s a breeze for travelers flying in for a gig.

Food and Drink Options
The on-site restaurant serves up meals throughout the day, and there’s a
bar for nightcaps before heading upstairs. An
à la carte breakfast is available for those not quite ready to rise and shine after the encore. While 24/7 room service isn't available, there are
plenty of casual eateries and coffee spots nearby within walking distance.
Nightlife Options
While the hotel keeps things low-key onsite, it’s a short drive to downtown Federal Way or nearby Tacoma for
bars and lounges. The hotel bar itself offers a laid-back spot to sip a local brew or glass of wine if you're winding down from the show.
