Westcoasters - any Seattle airport hotel suggestions?

[I Run Long]

We'll be flying out of Seattle this September and we're looking for a good (and cheap) hotel to stay overnight at (our flight leaves at 5:45 am) and leave our car at which is secure and, fingers crossed, free. So we'll have to overnight it on Sept 7 and again on Sept 22nd until we can catch the ferry back to the island the next morning. Any suggestions?

We always fly out of SEATAC and we follow the same routine every time. It works for us and we have peace of mind. It may not necessarily be the cheapest option but we want our car to be in a 24-hr secured lot, given there are a lot of reported break-ins in the SEATAC area.

We use Priceline.com to get a 3* and higher hotel in SEATAC area. We always get the Doubletree SEATAC Airport from $45-$60, depending on time of the year. It's a big hotel with big rooms and just perfect for the overnighter. Their parking is $18/night. But we factor that into the cost of the room.

On the morning of our departure, we go to Master Park Valet Garage (just down the street) and they take care of our car. We take their shuttle for the 5-min ride into the airport. Master Park Garage charges about $12.99/day (use the online coupon they have on their website).

For our upcoming 9-day trip to Hawaii in February, we anticipate the total cost of our SEATAC stay and park to be ~$170 USD. Still MUCH cheaper than flying out of YVR!

The Best Western Executel has a decent special that includes parking. I think its usually $99-$129 depending on time of year. They have a free hot breakfast and a pool and its a clean place. Its not a 4* full service hotel, but for one night before a flight it works for us.
