What guests think

Skyway Inn - Seatac is a budget, older motel near the airport and Angle Lake Station with generally friendly staff, but reviews note mixed cleanliness and maintenance standards plus a sometimes sketchy-feeling surrounding area.

Guests like the low prices, easy access to the light rail, and basics such as hot showers, comfortable beds in some rooms, and in-room fridges and microwaves. Common drawbacks include dated rooms, frequent noise from traffic or thin walls, crowded park-and-fly parking, and sometimes slow airport shuttle pickups. Best for a short, no-frills overnight before or after a flight.

Facilities

Free 24/7 airport shuttle is convenient, though pickups can be slow at times. Parking doubles as long-term airport parking, so guest spaces can be crowded or blocked.

They cram in cars because they let people park at hotel when they leave on a trip, there is very limited parking for the actual guests. And I mean cram in the cars, they block in cars, like what’s your priority??? Check in was great, room is half updated, furniture could use some paint. New carpet and sink area. Our room was clean and spacious. Need some weather stripping around the bottom of doors as cool air comes in. But are you a lot or hotel?? You need to decide that!

Wonderful budget option, very friendly and helpful staff. They allowed me to change my reservation to 2 days later due to a cancelled flight. Airport shuttle 24 hours on demand was so convenient for an early flight. Also very close to the airport and some really interesting food options nearby. This place will be my first choice next time.

The worst hotel room I've ever set foot in. Upon entry to the room I was hit with a gross smell, like vomit. The linen had several stains on it as well as cigarette burns and there were marks on the wall. The floor near the sink was sticky. There was a soda left in the fridge which shows cleaning staff did not clean it. The shower was moldy. I told the front desk about the state of the room and how we could not stay in it. They did not offer us another room nor did they offer to clean the room. When we attempted to get another refund through Expedia the person at the front desk lied and said we stayed over an hour and used things in the room requiring it to be re cleaned

Let me start with what we did like about this property. The staff was kind and friendly. We arrived off a cruise at 11:00am and they had a room available so they let us check in early. It was very close (about a 4 minute walk) to a light rail station. We would rate the beds as ok in regards to comfort. The room was very outdated which is not a problem for me. The toilet and floors looked pretty new but it looked like everything else had been around since the 70s. The exterior looked shabby. On the service it looked like the room had been cleaned well. There was no signs of bedbugs, the sheets and linens were clean. The tub looked dirty but upon closer inspection it is just old, stained porcelain. The real problem came when after walking around on the hardwood floors for about 10 minutes in socks the bottom of the socks were filthy. Then I lost a shoe and pulled up the bedskirt to look under the bed for it. There was a toy golf club and thick coating of dirt, dust, and debris under the bed. I looked under the other bed and it was even worse with a lighter, crumpled up plastic water bottle, an article of clothing, candy wrappers etc along with the dust and dirt under the bed. We would not stay here again.

The room looked ok but had a super strong pee odor, coming from the carpet. Otherwise the room was good. When I checked out in the morning, the front desk worker was asleep at the desk and could not tell me when the shuttle had last come by. The bedding and bathroom were clean. And there were no loud noises outside like other reviewers had mentioned.

We checked into the hotel, got our room keys and went straight to the room. Upon entering, I turned on a light and saw a bug just below the TV so I took my shoe off and smashed it. Realizing it was a cockroach, I turned on all the lights and decided if I saw more that we were leaving. Of course I then see 2 more on the ceiling, one on the bathroom wall and one on the wall behind the bed. Within minutes, we exited the room and went to the office. The clerk did offer another room but we weren't willing to take the chance. Disappointing. I did read the reviews before booking and I didn't see any mention of bugs. The clerk said they've never had an issue before. I can't believe that it was only this one room. Seeing 5 bugs within minutes tells me there's a bigger issue with the hotel cleanliness. We left and booked a Motel 6 down the street. Clean and had zero issues. I should have just booked Motel 6 to begin with but this was closer to the airport so I thought I'd take a chance. Nope, never again. Too bad (for them) as I visit this area often.

Had a decent stay. The room was tidy and it felt cozy. The front desk ladies were very helpful though and I found them hospitable which is a plus in my book. If you're looking for a place to stay but spend most of the time outside it's a great option. The bed seemed to sink a bit too much in the middle.

They didn't answer their phone for an airport pickup. I waited for a shuttle for an hour in the middle of the night, then gave up and got an uber. I got to the office, the shuttle and driver were waiting out the front and the receptionist was sitting by the phone. I'd called four times. Then they were confused why I'd got the rate I'd got, took forever to process my booking. Checking out, the booking was for a 12 noon checkout, and cleaning knocked on my door at 11AM saying it was the checkout time. Just disorganised and exhausting.

The plus to this property is a comfortable and clean bed. There was hot water. Im not a smoker and the alarm went off in my room, however, i did smell cigarette smoke coming from next door. The shuttle driver had absolutely no manners. He areived at the airport and didnt get out if the shuttle, i had to open the door and he didn't help with luggage inside the vehicle. I helped an elderly woman with her bags as ahe was not steong enough to lift them. When we arrived at the hotel, he disnt open the door or help us what so ever. I will never use this hotel ever again and will also let my friends know.

Not very clean or nice, but it was very cheap and great location for proximity to light rail but some may consider area sketchy. Parking lot very clustered. We did have an employee walk into are room unannounced at 9:00am (check out was at 11) and said sorry wrong room. That was weird. Great example of you get what you pay for

We stayed here for one night, prior to catching an early flight home. It appears most people use it to leave their car and catch a shuttle to the airport. Although the area may look a little sketchy it was really quite safe and had some convenient (yet, no frills) food options across the street—Mexican food, burger joint and 7-11. The check-in at the hotel was a breeze, the bed was comfortable and the room was quiet, despite being close to the airport. I would definitely stay here again when in the area and catching an early flight.

The hotel was clean and daily housekeeping service was provided. An additional convenience was that the hotel is located next to the Link Lightrail Station, making it easy for guests to travel throughout the city. I enjoyed my stay at the Skyway Inn.

Good place to spend the night before an early morning flight. There is non stop all nice courtesy shuttle service and the room was comfortable. I took the Lightrail there from Seattle the night before my flight then caught the shuttle at 2 am to the airport. Accross the street there's a good middle Eastern takeaway mis-named Bob's Burgers or something like that. The clerk at the desk was friendly, efficient and helpful. And the price was right.

To call for the shuttle from the Seattle airport was easy and was only a 15/20 minute wait and the drive was about 10 minutes. Fast and easy check-in. They had one elevator to get to the second floor, where my room was located. Upon opening the door, I was not happy with the overall smell of the room that smelled musty. An air freshener would have been needed so bring some with you! I wasn’t keen on the carpeting so I kept my shoes on. Plenty of hot water for shower. For $112 it’s what you get. They do have a sign on their desk that advertises cruise Shuttle for $25 if you need it. No breakfast here but there is an Ihop walking distance.

It was the best deal and close to good transportation if you want to go to Seattle as the Sound Link was less than a block away. Also, Bobs Burgers across the street made a great mushroom Swiss burger, so, it was a good deal and what I needed. The shuttle service was also indispensable.

If you need a short stay to fly out the following morning then this is a great value. The bed was comfortable and the bedding clean and in good condition. The room and bathroom were clean, but furnishings are a bit rough. It is conveniently located near a lightrail station. There's a good, small Mexican restaurant and a yummy looking burger place across the street. There is quite a bit of noise from the busy street, but if you have good earplugs and/or white noise it is very doable. The staff were all very nice. The shuttle runs 24 hrs whenever you need it. The surrounding neighborhood is a bit sketchy, and I wouldnt necessarily recommend going for a walk after dark. The exterior of the motel is well maintained and the grounds are kept clean. There's someone at the front desk all night and a shuttle employee all night as well.
