Hotels near K.O.A Camp Ground, Kent

Stayed at this property twice in 9 days at the beginning and end of our cruise, This property is very convenient to the airport. I normally would have given the property an Excellent rating except for an issue with the most relevant aspect of the property. The property has a 24/7 airport shuttle which runs every half hour. The property shuttle will also take you to many local dining establishments which is very convenient. Due to the really bad lines at the airport, it is very important to get to the airport early so you don't miss your flight. Upon check-in, I signed up for the shuttle to catch my flight in the morning. I literally watched the young lady at the desk write my name, room number and time in the book. The next morning, I went out early to the shuttle and was rudely told by the driver that I was not listed for a trip and I could not be taken to the airport. The shuttle left without me. I then spoke to someone at the desk who agreed to get me an Uber. Not that I blame the hotel, but the Uber showed up really late because he apparently ran an errand before he picked me up. This whole episode really cause a lot of anxiety and could have been avoided. The hotel itself is very nice, the room was clean and had everything needed for our stay. Breakfast is a to go very early in the am and then becomes hot and cold food after a certain time (don't recall the time). The hot breakfast was very good. Every one working at the hotel desk is very nice and professional. One real advantage of this property is that they will let you check in early after your cruise once a room is available.My only advice staying here is before you go to sleep, call the front desk and make sure you are on the shuttle.

Nice and comfortable airport hotel. Location is tremendous, as it’s near to SEA airport, with lots of food venues around. A complimentary airport shuttle is available. The shuttle departs every thirty minutes to the airport, at :00 and :30. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff at the hotel, however, one specific shuttle driver was extremely rude and unbothered. I did not catch his name. Didn’t bother helping me with my suitcases and at the airport didn’t bother taking out my suitcases either. Also the shuttle departed full, so some passengers had to stand. Rooms were very clean, but a bit outdated. Since the hotel is big, there are two fitness facilities available, very convenient. I had a 1 bed queen room with a balcony, which is a nice touch. I would stay again, if staying near SEA airport.

Wow - summer of 2022 all the Sea Tac hotels are crazy expensive. We didn't feel like spending 200 bucks for a room for one night, so found a ”deal” ($109) here. The room was tired and some furniture was broken. There was no elevator. We had to rise early to catch a flight but the shuttle doesn't start until 7 AM. Luckily, it is a 15 minute or so walk to the terminal. Was it clean? Sort of. One thing that was new and in very good working order was the air conditioner/fan and that was much appreciated. We asked for a 5 AM wake up call and it never came but of course we set alarms on our phones.

I’m not sure if this hotel has had a management change since my last visit here, but a lot has changed and not for the better. Check in staff takes 20 mins to make a reservation, you can’t understand the people working the front desk. There no longer is a hotel shuttle to and from the SEA airport, the bed and pillows were uncomfortable and itchy. The coffee shop in the lobby had closed its gates in front of our face cause the lady working said she had a family emergency. So we asked the restaurant on the other side of the hotel and she said she can’t make a coffee. The staff is rude! STAY AWAY!

Due to a flight delay, an airline booked us a hotel stay with Hampton Inn Seattle/Southcenter, who when we arrived, would not honor the booking made by the airline. We contacted Ramada and spoke with Natasha who was very pleasant and had two rooms available for our party. She even applied a discount so that our total bill was close to the $150 allowance provided by the airline. Our stay was very pleasant, room clean and comfortable. The morning staff and shuttle service were also extremely friendly. We recommend this hotel.

So let's start with saying I stayed at this hotel recently, think a couple of days ago, with my family so we could attend a funeral. I selected a hotel near the airport for ease of access knowing that we all came from three different places, using two different airlines and one person driving. Our troubles started upon arrival. Despite having one member's air travel being delayed by an hour, we still arrived long before the 4pm check-in time and was promptly told the room was not ready and we could call later to find out when it is ready. There is something... odd going on with their phone. At times the call would not connect, like it did when we were at the airport when I tried to call, and other times it will go through. This happened throughout the entire stay, so I simply asked if they had an approximate time when they think it might be ready. She snapped at me that check-in is 4pm, as if I hadn't heard her before. Years ago, I did housekeeping for a summer. I know there is a list, and where we are on the list might suggest if we are going to be closer to 4pm or a little earlier. We left with our bags, despite them offering to hold them for us, because no trust had been established here. I called twice later, the first time the call would not connect, the second time our rooms were ready at 2pm. We were not given the Preimum WiFi password at check in. We were not given pool information at check-in. Really the only information we were given at all was about having a menu in the room for the breakfast service which is not... true. We all heard it, and not only was it not there, another staff member seemed confused why we were asking for it. This brings us to the other problems. This hotel advertises services and amenities they literally do not have. The Basil restaurant is not operational and is described as permanently closed by staff. There is no onsite restaurant. This meant, for us, that people on different meal schedules were now needing to eat together because the convenience of onsite preparation is simply not there. The first night, I noticed there is no HBO. They advertise on their website, but I assure you there is no HBO. It's not listed in the guide and there is no amount of channel surfing that will find what is not there. They do have StarzEncore but mostly it's an On Demand service that charges 19.99 for movies that are currently streaming on subscriptions services. These are not even in theater movies. The TV on-screen guide will suggest you can cast to the TV. This is not true. Embassy Suites has disabled this feature. The app is certainly capable of this feature, but the way they have it set-up is to use your phone as a glorified remote. It can not cast to the TV. We paid for a premium suit as well. 3 adults in a room that is advertised to hold 6. The premium service affords us certain additional services, see attached photo, which includes the Premium WiFi I had to call and wait to get and the snacks which are said to

I found the Courtyard Federal Way to be a halfway decent place to spend the night, but there were definitely some things that made my stay less than awesome. My room was comfortable and serviceable, and the bed was decent. I was on the 7th floor, but some of my co-workers who also stayed in the hotel on lower floors complained their room smelled strongly of B.O. However, despite being up on the 7th floor, I wasn’t immune to the loud banging as someone took out the trash behind the hotel and let the dumpster lid slam shut at 5:45am, waking me up way earlier than I’d intended. The morning after my sleep was where I experienced the most hiccups. Following the undesired super-early wakeup, I searched for some coffee to help finish my morning takeoff, only to find there wasn’t a coffeemaker in the room, so I went downstairs to see if there was something in the lobby — when I asked the desk clerk about coffee, he admitted not all the rooms had coffeemakers but they didn’t have coffee pots in the lobby, I had to go to the Starbucks shop in the lobby and buy coffee. When I checked in, I was told breakfast was included as part of my stay and that my room number would be on the list, so imagine my surprise when I was told at the Starbucks counter that my room number was not on the list. I went to the front desk and was informed that no, I didn’t get free breakfast after all, but the manager apologized and said she’d apply a credit to my account — however, the breakfast credit is only $10, which in many cases didn’t cover the entirety of the cost of breakfast at the in-house Starbucks/food place, so I ended up still having to pay a few bucks for an overpriced yet meager breakfast burrito. All in all, as a hotel, the place is okay, but definitely not a great overall experience like I’ve come to expect at hotels in general or Courtyard by Marriott locations.

Stayed here recently and liked my stay very much. Due to Covid the hotel restaurant was not open which was disappointing but understandable. I stayed in a spa suite room at a very fair rate. The spa suite is a nice room and allows for a good soak with bubbles to relax. Good Internet, desk for work. Property felt safe , good parking in a well lit lot. Property is near tons of eateries and shopping. Super easy access to I-5 to both Tacoma and Seattle. Staff were efficient and accommodating. I would easily stay here again.

There aren't a lot of hotels in the Auburn area and I remember this one from the time I worked in the area, as it was originally built as a King Oscar Hotel. We got a good rate and spent three nights here. Was told it was converted from a Quality Inn to a Comfort Inn & Suites just this past August. The place is up-to-date, with modern furnishings in the rooms and lobby. The rooms are good-sized, plenty of room to move about and relax. I really do not like cramped hotel rooms, so this one was excellent. Check in was fast and friendly. COVID-19 protocols in place, so no coffee station in the lobby and breakfast is pretty much pre-packaged. In our travels it is interesting to see how each property handles these things during the pandemic. The only complaint I have is the wi-fi drops off every few hours and one has to repeatedly log on. It did this while I was on a Zoom meeting on my laptop and I had to quickly switch to my phone so I could continue. One of my hotel pet peeves is that if you offer wi-fi, it should be fully operational because so many of your clients have come to depend on it for their business and informational needs while staying on your property. I would suggest this get brought up with the provider to come up with a solution. Within walking distance there are a couple of fast-food places, an AM/PM gas station and mini mart, and a teriyaki place. Only a couple of miles north to the Outlet Collection Mall, and a couple of miles east to an Albertson's. Near many of the South Auburn/Algona/Pacific industrial areas (including Boeing Fabrication). Noise level is actually not bad, considering the site is next to the SR167 Valley Freeway. We had a 3rd floor room, did not really notice much in the way of outside noise (well, except for the guy who fired up his ultra-bass car sound system in the parking lot!). You could use this place as a jumping-off point for a lot of area travel.
