Seattle is the largest city in Washington and deemed one of the greenest cities of the world. Tourists who plan to enjoy urban comforts and lush surroundings visit the city because it receives less precipitation than New York. If one visits Seattle, Pike Place Market is a must on the itinerary. It is the oldest farmers market in the U.S., and where Starbucks had their first store.
With the city as a prime destination for travelers, Seattle’s major districts have hundreds of hotels to choose from. Each hotel has its own way of catering to its guests and ensuring top-notch amenities over their competitors. Basic amenities include custom bed linens, spacious bathrooms, flat-screen televisions, high-speed internet, and fine toiletries. For a more relaxing getaway, here is a list of other amenities to consider when booking a hotel stay in Seattle.

After a tiring trip, the best thing you could wish for is to just jump on your shuttle and be transferred from the airport to your hotel. Traveling from the terminal to your hotel upon arrival on your own is sometimes stressful. For a minimal fee, Quality Inn and Suites Hotel will take care of your transfers from Seattle Tacoma International Airport to the hotel. You can simply call the hotel to schedule a pickup from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

The roof deck, apart from being one of the closest viewpoints to the waterfront, provides a view of ferries crossing Puget Sound. Furthermore, marvel a different angle of Pike Place Market which is just blocks away from the hotel.
