3 reviews for SpringHill Suites
Springhill Suites is a brand that is part of the Marriott family of hotels. I haven't totaly figured out Marriott's rankings hierarchy of their brands as to price vs. amenities, but is something like this:
1. JW Marriotts
2. Renaissance Hotels
3. Marriotts Hotels
4. Residence Inn
5. Courtyard by Marriotts
6. Springhill Suites
7. Townplace Suites
8. Fairfield Inn
Of course prices vary by location, time of year, special event, and type of booking, so in price terms, the hierachy can fluctuate. 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 are generally single rooms , and 4, 6 and 7 are two rooms. The first 3 are usually full service, with full restaurants, valet, business services and more. Residence Inn has no full service restaurant, but offers a full 2 room suite with kitchen, more for extended stays, resembling an apartment. Courtyard has 1 restaurant with basic meals. Springhill and Townplace have limited food, as in continental breakfast (included). Fairfield usually just has rooms in more of a motel type construction.
Often you will find several brands clustered together. At this Springhill Suites in Renton, there is a Townplace Suites right next to it, sharing a parking lot and access road. There isn't much difference between them, so given the choice, go for the Springhill Suites, since you will get a full 10 points per dollar spent on your loyalty program, and I think Townplace is half that. I have stayed at both and can't tell them apart. Prices are also similar.
They are near Boeing and not far from Sea-Tac, with a shuttle for both to the airport. Since there isn't much to eat, if you have a car, they are building a huge big box mall near Boeing in Renton (near the Fry's Electronics) and there are ethnic and chain food places dotted around nearby. If you want to drive a little farther, go to Bellevue for finer dining and down to Federal Way for more ethnic dining, or drive up to Seattle.

Fairly new place, was clean and convenient to the freeway. Very quiet place to stay. Reception was great. The girl went out of her way to keep us away from the noisy kids on the 2nd floor. Will definitely stay here again. It was a little pricey but I was able to get a discount through my labor union.
I used to work at this Marriott and only have the best to say about it. If you get lucky you'll get a really good price on a room. The employees are nice and you even get a shuttle to and from the airport and to nearby restaurants and stores.
