Best Western River’s Edge

Became Ramada; bought out 2 months ago.
Rates are 84/​night on weekend. Went up from BW rates.
Cheap construction typical of BW. When your neighbor wakes up you wake up. Very thin walls. They don’t put you next to someone but you hear people from above you.
No thermostat on heating/​cooling units. Have to manually turn them on/​off. Part of the BW design to save costs. Don’t really expect that from a Ramada/​Wyndham hotel.
Is ok, can find better deals elsewhere.
Great staff. Front desk person had cold/​flu. She coughed into her hands, immediately washed her hands in hand sanitizer. Love the people here.
Probably an ok choice.

If you’re looking for a solid, reasonably-​priced place to crash while visiting the Seattle area, this is a great place.
I was impressed with the large lobby, the cleanliness of the room, and the amenities. The room includes a fridge, coffee maker, & microwave, as well as a deep sink outside the bathroom which is convenient when mutiple people are getting ready. We didn’t hear a peep from other rooms or hallway noise. Very quiet.
There is a large parking lot. We arrived at 11 pm and had no problem finding parking near the front entrance. The hotel is easy to find, too. Just off I-​5.
The included breakfast was a great spread. Fresh fruit, juices, a waffle maker, pastries, cereal, hardboiled eggs, sausages, scrambled egg squares… lots of stuff. Breakfast is served until 9:30.
I have to take away one star for 2 reasons: The bed is very very firm. I was so exhausted when we arrived that it didn’t disturb my sleep much but be warned. The other problem is the shower water temperature. Call me Goldilocks, but I seem to have a narrow range of temperatures between too hot and too cold that I like. While in the shower, the temperature fluctuated up and down, up and down, at one point becoming quite scalding like when someone flushes a nearby toilet.
Overall, this is a tasteful, clean, modestly classy hotel and I would be happy to stay here again.

This hotel no longer appears to be part of Best Western as all BW signs are covered over. The rooms are very dark inside, the in room microwave is from the dark ages and the in room wifi does not work!
While the staff was friendly you got the feeling that no one really knows what is going on and that they are all just hoping to keep their jobs.

I am in a room as I write this. The place is very nice inside. I was shocked with the flat screen TV, Satellite programing, cherry wood furniture, and granite counters. The lamps were interesting with square shades and the beds were white sheets with a brown blanket. The pool was closed I understand it is April. The front staff was very helpful. The workout room was neat my son and BF went there to work out for a bit and had fun.

This hotel is one of the cleanest, most well-​maintained hotels that I have visited in a long time. It is in a prime location with a beautiful view of the river from most of the windows. It is only a 20 – 30 minute drive to Seattle. The rooms are spacious, up-​to-​date on their design and very quiet. The suites are especially luxurious with wonderful, little balconies. The staff is friendly, courteous and helpful with suggesting local restaurants and activities. Overall, this is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in within this price range (which is very reasonable, even on a holiday weekend). I actually found it to be a step up in many ways from fancier, more expensive hotels.

I’m surprised this Best Western got such good ratings.
If anyone consistently stays at Best Westerns, they know that they are a notch above the lower end chains. I would rate the average Best Western a 3 or 4 because, for the most part, they provide everything high-​quality and I have everything I need.
I can’t say that about this place. First of all, it’s WAY WAY outside downtown Seattle, which is fine and what we expected. And we didn’t mind paying more than the other hotels in the area because we thought, «It’s Best Western so it will be awesome and we will be taken care of.»
Well, this is a substandard Best Western.
Visually, it looks very good, but the basics… a clean and functional pool, giving good directions, efficient train and airport pick up… was severely lacking.
We lost several hours on bad directions on how to get to the train station WHICH WAS A 5 MINUTE DRIVE AWAY but the station is so new, that google maps was not able to find it. Apparently, neither can the local Best Western.
So the first day, after driving around looking for the train station, we decided to just drive to downtown Seattle.
The second day, we had the Best Western drop us off. That was fine. It was picking us up that took over an hour and a half. And again, the Best Western is a 5 MINUTE DRIVE from the train station. Additionally, we had to then go an extra 45 minutes (during rush hour) to pick up some people at the airport. I wouldn’t have minded if we didn’t have to wait for the long pick up, but honestly, that was in very poor taste for the hotel and the driver.
I would not stay here again.

This surprisingly swank Best Western is an oasis in the urban effluence of Tukwila.
Its upgraded with dark woods, HDTV with excellent movie and cable choices. Its clean and features a microwave and fridge. Continental breakfast is included as is all-​day lobby coffee.
Summers see heavy pool usage and the rates are much higher. This is a good choice if you don’t want to stay near the crime ridden airport, but do want quick access to Sea Tac.
TIP Book on-​line and you’ll often find discounts. (

Hands down one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
With an overnight layover in Seattle, I started searching the internet for a reasonably priced hotel … and wow, too many results and too many sub-​par reviews. My Dad recommended Best Western so I looked them up and sure enough, I found fabulous ratings and price. Booked a room with a king size bed, flat screen t.v., complimentary hot breakfast, 24 shuttle service, and a view of the Green River … all for $ 68 (incl. taxes). I was stoked! I just hoped that the hotel and room would live up to my expectations.
Upon arriving at the Sea-​Tac Airport, I called the hotel for a shuttle pick-​up. «10 minutes,» they said. Sure enough, EXACTLY 10 minutes later, the shuttle van arrived. From the moment he stepped out of the van, Rick, the driver, was gracious, kind, polite and the epitome of customer service. He rushed to open the back door, stowed my bags, opened my door and before I knew it, I was seated in the clean van as he handed me the seatbelt. Rick was great, and even offered to take me to get food or go shopping.
The check-​in was quick and friendly. Complimentary coffee is offered ²⁴⁄₇. The room was clean and tidy with quality furniture and linens. The bed was cozy and smelled fresh and clean. It was so nice that I just wanted to lie there and enjoy the coziness rather than sleep. ha! I was so excited about the exceptional customer service and cleanliness of the room that I called my mom to rave about the hotel 2 minutes after arriving at my room.
Next morning, enjoyed the complimentary hot breakfast … bisquits, gravy, fruit, cereal, eggs, bagels, toast, yogurt … it was very enjoyable and the service was impeccible.
Would I stay here again? Absolutely. I even saved the hotel’s telephone number to my phone. Stay here!

I work for a major shuttle service to and from the airport. With all the snow, my work days have been 12 – 14 hours. So I had the chance to stay at this hotel for 2 nights this week.
Its a nice hotel located about 5 min away from southcenter. It offers free breakfast, internet in the lobby, and comfortable rooms. The staff was excellent with letting me have a late check out one day. Also the staff seemed to keep everyones mood happy, with what was a terrible situation for some.
Thanks to my bosses for putting me up here.

Very nice place to stay. The breakfast was filling with a large variety of stuff. Beds were very comfortable.

Found this place on
. Many fans and great reviews of the place. I’m surprised no one has reviewed it here yet… although maybe it’s because it’s in a small city in Washington called Takwila which is about a 15 minute drive south of downtown Seattle.
This location connects to a new sushi boat/​conveyor place called O’sushi and grill. They’re currently running a 6.99 all you can eat (off the conveyor) special from 11a-​2pm everyday. And it draws quite a crowd everyday here.
This Best western is less than 10 miles away from the Seatac airport and is about 1 mile from the newly revamped (thanks Westfield) SouthCenter mall.
Overall great hotel.
The daily rate was low. Nice lobby. Nicely decorated rooms. Sharp LCD TVs in each room. Nice amenities. Outdoor pool. Free WiFi/​HSI. Very comfortable beds. Fridge and microwave in every room. Free continental breakfast. Free shuttle to the airport.
I didn’t like the parking lot very much and the shower’s water temp was a tad touchy for me. Spikes of hot and cold were enough to wake me each morning, but not very much appreciated.
