Loved the comfortable bed and delicious breakfast! The fresh croissants and fresh fruit really hit the spot. Just wished the Wi-Fi was more reliable since it cut out a few times. 🍽️

convenient access to parks and dining options

I found the breakfast to be tasty and the front desk staff very welcoming, making my stay pleasant and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a better location with North Lake just a short 1.5 km away and delightful dining spots like East India Grill literally across the street, perfect for grabbing a quick bite after a day of exploring the city. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the comfortable King Room I stayed in, though the air conditioning could use an update to enhance comfort.

pleasant stay with room for improvement

The staff members were exceptionally courteous and attentive! The breakfast options included a variety of fresh foods that were enjoyable. The cleanliness of the common areas was noticeable and appreciated.

The room could have been better maintained.

Would recommend for a mini-break over the weekend

Clean hotel, friendly staff, and a good breakfast offered daily included plenty of options. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay, and I appreciated the convenient location that allowed for easy walking to nearby restaurants.

The bed was not comfortable.

Had an awesome trip with friends! We enjoyed visiting the Wild Waves Water Park and checked out some local mountain biking trails. The staff was super friendly, and breakfast options were solid. It was nice to chill in a clean and comfy room with all the gear we needed nearby.

We did face some issues with the key cards at check-in. they didn’t work on the first few tries, which was pretty annoying.

We visited the nearby Wild Waves Water Park with the kids, and it was a blast! The breakfast spread was fantastic with fresh fruits and hot coffee, and our room was spacious and clean. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.

My kids wished the pool area was larger for more fun activities.

We really enjoyed our two-night stay in the clean King Room, Non-Smoking, and the fresh cookies in the lobby were such a nice touch! The outdoor pool area is perfect for relaxing. The hot tub was great for unwinding after a long day. Only downside was the shower pressure could've been better, but it didn’t ruin our experience at all. 🏊‍♂️

The pool area was nice, and we really enjoyed the spacious gym, along with cookies served around 4:30 PM !

Tried East India Grill—totally a flavor explosion with their curries! Plus, the breakfast spread at the hotel was a gem, setting us up for the day. Great dining score with local options.

But, we did face some heat issues—no warmth on a chilly soccer day! They finally shifted us to a new room, but for $300 a night, I expected better service—especially coz nobody likes coming back to a frosty room, right?

I stayed for a few nights at the Hampton Inn in Federal Way. The location impressed me, really close to many options for restaurants and shopping. The breakfast each morning had a solid selection. A highlight was definitely the friendly staff—they were always smiling and eager to help out. However, I encountered a big issue with the thermostat in my room. It would turn off every time I left, making the room hot when I returned. I asked the front desk about it, and they seemed to be aware of the problem but hadn't resolved it yet. The furnishings felt a bit worn, and I noticed some noise from the freeway, which was a distraction at times. Luckily, my bed was comfy, but those were some drawbacks. Overall, the staff and convenience of the location made up for some of the deficiencies in room maintenance and noise control. I would stay again if they fix the thermostat situation and maintenance issues.

The decor in public areas was inviting and well-maintained. I appreciated the easy access to the elevators and amenities, making it very convenient for me as a senior traveler. The staff were truly welcoming and attentive.

Could use more accessible seating in the lobby.

The location is excellent for exploring south Seattle and nearby attractions. Friendly staff made check-in a breeze, and the comfortable King room offered a peaceful environment to unwind. Breakfast was nicely varied, featuring some freshly caught fish, which was a delightful surprise. However, road noise was disruptive at times, and the gym could use more equipment to enhance the workout experience.
