Cedarbrook lodge: Overall score: 8.0/10.0 Room: King suite, 2nd building Cost: $680 USD/2 nights Review: Just wow! A true resort hotel located just 3-4 minutes from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The resort is designed so that you would never even know you're in the urban heart of the Seattle-Tacoma metro area. The beds are so soft and comfortable, and the central lobbies in each building have complimentary candies and nut offerings along with flavored water, and offering a fireplace for chilly evenings in the living rooms. The staff are incredibly kind, more so than most, i have to mention just how amazing they are. There is also a mascot; an actual housecat, no I'm not kidding, an actual house CAT. The resort has a woodland feel and offers a couple running/walking paths which add to the hidden-feeling and ambiance. read more

The Cedarbrook Lodge is a hidden escape in the SeaTac area. It felt like a high end lodge with complimentary coffee, snacks, and ice cream in each building. The staff were kind and attentive. They seem to authentically enjoy working there. There was a jacuzzi available for use even in the winter months. When we visited it in the summer evening, there were no pool towels. Bring them from your room. The Spa and Restaurant are highly recommended! My husband and I will definitely be returning to this place when visiting the Seattle area. read more

"We Are Family" - Nile Rodgers and CHIC I've been wanting to stay at Cedarbrook Lodge for many years but the opportunity never came up until our we had our recent cruise out of Seattle. This lodge was used for our return flight from SEATAC to HNL due to the convenience factor close to the airport. One thing I've learned over many years of travel - stay closer to the hotel if you have an early morning flight out. Don't risk staying miles away driving in traffic, because anything can happen. STELLAR: - Shout out to TJ and Minerva!!! - We were treated with the utmost care and almost like family the minute we checked in to drop off our luggage. We were very early but didn't want to explore Seattle with luggage in our rental car, so they stored it for us. They texted us several hours later to tell us our room was early. We ended up checking in at 10:30 PM because we had other plans and forgot to tell the hotel. They were very worried about us as they saw our luggage still sitting on the floor. They feared we got into a bad accident, or got kidnapped, and all other manner of bad things. Next time I will make sure to call ahead. GREAT: - Rooms are clean and comfortable, nice and spacious! - Quiet and restful. - Very attractive grounds. My plan was to explore but we got back late into the night, so perhaps next time. - Self parking, lot of room! Open-air. - Super close to the airport, less than 15 minutes away. - Complimentary mini Haagen Daas Ice Creams in the common lounge in the freezer (see picture) - Complimentary purified water stations, coffee in the AM and cookies. - Affordable, especially if you book out a year in advance like I did. We paid $274.36 for a Double Queen. - Self park daily $33.00. Other: - We grabbed take out breakfast from Taco Bell down the street for the airport wait. - If you want to have some wine, cocktails or beer, save your money, don't buy any from the gas station down the street, the cost was prohibitive. Buy before you get to Cedarbrook. The Lodge has a cocktail lounge but didn't try it. Amazing lodge with the best service, clean, spacious and quiet rooms on a gorgeous property near SEATAC airport. Return Factor: - Yes, next time will try to enjoy the grounds and the amenities instead of using it as a crash pad. read more

This place is conveniently located about a 5 minute drive from Sea-Tac airport. The hotel is nestled in the midst of a quiet neighborhood but you never would've known. The facility itself is beautiful with lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the scenery. Each "accommodation building" has their own living room space to enjoy outside of your own room. A definite recommendation for those looking for something close and relaxing. read more

We've been wanting to stay at this hotel for a while, now we had an opportunity since we're celebrating birthdays. The hotel is tucked away in a serenity location, literally in the midst of hustling SeaTac. The beds and pillows were so comfortable, I slept as if I were at home! That's saying something! Rooms seem to be quiet and are definitely set up for the business traveler. Plenty of desk room for office work. With that being said. I didn't get the warm and cozy feeling that I had anticipated. The bathroom is large and functional. Huge bathtub, which was great! The bathrobes were a gentle touch. I most definitely will return to eat at the restaurant and will recommend the hotel to my business partners. Oh more pleasant touch, the complimentary yogurt and snacks. It was nice having that available late night! read more

This is the most beautiful place to stay in an otherwise less desirable area. The rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable! The grounds are beautiful! The staff is super friendly. There is no place like this in Sea-Tac. A hidden oasis! read more

It's so close to airport yet you feel miles away once on property, it's so relaxing & peaceful. We love the community living rooms in each building to relax & snack while waiting for others. Spa is lovely. My favorite is their restaurant Copperfields. It never disappoints, it's outstanding ! Highly recommend read more

This is one of the best hotels near SeaTac airport! It's a cute little escape from the busy roads and a nice oasis! The hotel has living room areas in each building with couches and chairs to lounge in, with a refrigerator stocked with yogurts, string cheese, ice cream, bags of ice and dispensers of granola, trail mix and chocolate malt balls you can help yourself to! The beds and pillows are comfy! Each room features a soaking tub, an in room refrigerator & coffee machine. There is a large gym with a hot tub, free weights, and machines. The outside area has ponds, beautiful trees and truly feels like an oasis! The staff is very kind and friendly. I look forward to staying at this hotel on my frequent trips to SeaTac! read more

What an awesome hotel near SeaTac. Just attended a conference at this hotel and stayed there for three nights. The grounds are beautiful and my room was so comfortable. I love the lounge area with the snack goodies and ice cream. The food and conference rooms were up to date. After a day at the conference, the gym had enough equipment for strength training and a really fun cardio bike that you could race on the monitor screen with other cyclists, basically playing a video game while working out. Every morning in the lobby was fresh Starbucks coffee and tea. I also enjoyed the hot tub. I stayed on site even on free time instead of going into Seattle, because the hotel is so enjoyable. Also complimentary shuttle to and from SeaTac! read more

We stayed here for 4 nights recently. We enjoyed the quiet and wooded atmosphere, just a 10 minute FREE shuttle ride from SeaTac Airport. The food in their restaurant was excellent and their front desk staff welcoming and efficient. You may opt for "full-service housekeeping," but need to let them know the day before. In retrospect, next time I'll ask for it every night. Otherwise, the garbage doesn't get emptied, you have to request more toiletries, towels, etc. I would have given 5 stars, but the coverings on the desk chair and bench next to the mirror in our room were badly worn and detracted from the room. We have a lot of family in the area, so we will stay here again on our next visit. read more

My first stay at this hotel was a couple of years ago; same day booking when my flight was cancelled. I had a pleasant stay and decided to book again when I had a training in the area during Covid. It's a nice escape, despite being located near Sea-Tac airport. The hotel property has streams/creeks meandering throughout the property because it is located on 11 acres of wetlands. Check-in was smooth and staff wore a mask with a plexiglass divider. On my first visit, our room was located in the main building and the room was on the small side. However, I remembered there was a community snack area with a freezer of mini Haagen-Dazs. Nice. On this visit, we had a room in another building, but our room was still small. However, we had a better view (last visit the view was a parking lot), but the parking lot was a little bit of a walk. We never bumped into any guests in our building, so it seems they space people well during Covid. Although they still had a community snack area, this time, there was Chocolate malt balls, trail mix, chocolate covered raisins. Also, they had a water filter to refill your water containers and bottled waters. When we had a problem with some plumbing, staff was quick to provide us another room with a discount. Nice. I recommend when near the airport. read more

I've sent innumerable people to this hotel.....even while on the plane this holiday! I reserved a room about three nights ago with the intent of returning on my trip home (late flight). When I arrived in my room the first night, I called and said "I can't do this, I'm claustrophobic. Can you move me?" Long story....but they were able to get me a better room. I said "on my next night, can you make SURE I'm in a more appropriate space? (For my issues?). They said YES. I got back to them last night. They not only sent me to a SMALLER room, but it reeked of MOLD. I called the front desk and said, this just isn't going to work. Manager (with SERIOUS attitude) gets on the phone. She said "no one else on that floor has complained". I said "well, some people are more sensitive to mold than others. You're a manager, get down here and smell it yourself". Then she went on to explain that she didn't have the staff to move me and clean up after me. "I said, I just got here! All I've touched is the phone!" She said "well, it's the room you booked". I said (knowing that I'd asked NOT to be in a room like that just a few days ago - and to please have my reservation modified) "you don't have ANY other rooms?" She was definitive. NO. Admittedly, it was late, I wasn't feeling well and was VERY tired. I said "you know? I can tell you're frustrated with me and I really don't appreciate it". She said something like "you can tell me what you think"...... She was just RUDE. She didn't even TRY to listen to my concerns. I actually contemplated moving hotels. But realized, at nearly midnight, and having to work the next day - I needed to sleep. As irony would have it? I left my room this morning to all kinds of fresh scents in the hall way......guess I wasn't too far off! I used to luv it here. In my opinion the rooms are going downhill and the staff just DOESN'T CARE. I won't be back. read more

Cedarbrook Lodge is a hidden gem. I live less than 10 miles away and have stayed here at least once a year for the past few years. Why do I keep coming back? Because it's a tranquil respite close to home, an easy way to "get away" without having to worry about travel. The rooms are very quiet despite being located less than 3 miles from the airport. I have spent some of the best peaceful reading time in a chair by the window. The amenities are great, it is easy to pop out of your room to get a snack from the "living room" or a cappuccino from the bar. I have not been to the spa, I keep meaning to check it out, but I'm so relaxed just reading or soaking in the big tub that I've never needed anything more. And, best of all, Cedarbrook Lodge is dog friendly. My dogs and I love walking the grounds, which are beautifully landscaped. read more

The spa was fantastic (highly recommend the deep tissue massage), and don't forget to make a complimentary bath soak while you are there!

I should have complained last time I had nearly the same issue. I just encountered a terribly rude employee by the name of Tyson. He was extremely condescending, snarky and not what you would ever expect at Cedarbrook Lodge. This isn't the first time my fridge hasn't worked. Issue is I have medication and cannot leave it unattended. I also have 3 days worth of meals with me. I actually wrote a review of my experience here where they switched 3 rooms because each room was used. Filthy sheets, towels with make up, hair everywhere, half a cup of coffee when I walked in sitting on the counter, blow dryer out, comforter on the counter, bed unmade and night before that happened when I checked in the fridge wasn't working. Someone was nice enough to switch out fridges. Well I've encountered the same issue this evening. I have less than a 10 hour layover here and Tyson said he would have to put me in an unqualified room. My company negotiates what rooms we can be in. I asked him why he can't just switch out fridges. He said he doesn't know how. I said I know how, you just unplug it. So at this evening, he tells me to go to another room with him to unplug the fridge. I'm not making this up! This person was consistently being sarcastic and foolish and not the standards I thought cedarbrook has. When my family and I come to Seattle, we always stay here. Not anymore. He also went as far as calling me by a name after I told him I don't use that name to be a jerk. I hope they record these calls because I honestly think he would be fired. My company has had us staying here for many years. I've never had issues until recently. It's absurd to treat anyone in this manner and expect them to go to a room with you because you don't know how to unplug a fridge? How did you get hired? You work at a hotel that is a customer service driven business. I shouldn't have to do your job for you. I will be reporting this and my past experience to my company because I could have called in fatigue to my job last time with little to no rest on a short layover. Very disappointing and unacceptable behavior from Tyson. read more

This was such a pleasant surprise that a beautiful lodge is 2 miles from the airport. I highly recommend the comfortable room without the outrageous downtown Seattle prices. This was half the cost. The restaurant on-site was great. The staff are all very pleasant. The bar is a much visit to learn from interesting facts from Duncan. He reminds me of the service and hospitality of Peter Luger of Brooklyn. Old school charm, fun, and fancy! read more

Cedarbrook Lodge is a hidden gem! It's situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. The grounds are well kept and keeps the hotel secluded. The room was comfortable and spacious. It was pretty quiet despite being so close to a busy airport. The bed was medium firm, just how I like it. There's a pillow menu but their standard pillows were "just right". The bathroom is pretty big and well lit. The shower was nice and roomy. Fluffy towels, robes, and slippers. Nice smelling shampoo and conditioners. There is a fridge in the room. You'll have to go into the common lounges for drinks and snacks. Love the self serve snacks! My son really enjoyed the ice creams. I had a super early flight. I reserved their airport van. I was the only person in it. The van is well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The driver was very nice and we had a lovely conversation all the way to the airport (took less than 10mins). All in all a great stay. Expensive but worth the splurge and nice rest prior to a long flight. read more

A phenomenal oasis in the middle of an urban (urbane) metropolis. Eighteen lush acres with a variety of room choices and every room has a garden view. Exceptional. Good value compared to the $200 price point of traditional airport hotels. Incredible breakfast. Minimal room service offerings. Say hi to Jess at the restaurant for breakfast and lunch. read more

I love Cedarbrook Lodge! Gorgeous well maintained property, beautiful rooms with very spacious bathroom and my favorite places to hit are the gym and the bar. I was a little bummed that the front desk reception gave my mom the wrong room, but that experience was overshadowed by the impeccable service at the bar, particularly by Greg, our bartender. Not only did Greg greet us, but he remembered us from our previous stay several months ago. I asked for his specialty cocktail and he made the best drink I have ever had. His take on an old fashioned. The most perfect and lovely way to end a trip to Seattle. Thank you Cedarbrook and even more thanks to Greg the bartender! read more

Cedarbrook Lodge is a hidden enclave of Rustic Pacific Northwest charm that seems impossibly close to SeaTac Airport and feels worlds away. You turn left just past the SeaTac Hilton Garden Inn to enter a winding passageway under a canopy of tall pine and cedar trees, where a beautiful rustic lodge awaits. The rooms are beautiful, the food is classically Pacific Northwest with a modern gourmet interpretation (think smoked scallop chowder, Alaskan cod fish and chips and salmon) and the service is incredible. 10/10. The free airport shuttle is fast and convenient and the views are spectacular. You will definitely forget you are anywhere near the airport. It feels more like an exclusive getaway on the Puget Sound. read more

Our new honeycomb hideout. Who KNEW?? We drive past this hidden gem daily and had no idea how peaceful it could be. I scheduled a stay at Cedarbrook Lodge as a staycation to celebrate my husband's 51st birthday. This was strictly intended to change the scenery, but I was pleasantly surprised with so much more. I made my reservation directly on the website which offered the best rate I could ask for. I had a specific request for a tub and reserved a balcony suite, so I called to have my account noted. Each person I talked to was so very pleasant and accommodating. Once I arrived I was greeted by Emily who was so warm and welcoming. She informed me there were no balcony suites with a tub, so we chose the room with the tub, which was an AWESOME choice. The ambiance of the resort was a very Northwest feel as you are surrounded by trees and quite quiet considering you are literally around the corner from the airport. The property is well manicure and inviting. Our room was a king deluxe that was equipped with a small sitting area, a desk, mini fridge and tub. The suite we stayed in was close to the hot tub so we were able to enjoy it a few times during our stay especially thanks to the 12 noon check out. The extra treat was in the living spaces. My husband and I enjoyed our midnight trip to the space for the yummy ice cream and malt balls to top off our night. This resort is great for out of towners, couples, girls night in, a treat-yo-self day, or just to get away. All and all even with all of covid precautions being taken throughout the facility our stay was full and delightful. I can't wait to get back and visit soon. read more

Absolutely phenomenal place to stay. I stayed in a double queen room and it was spacious and cozy. The rooms have massive windows that crank outwards and show you a view of the beautiful trees they have on hotel grounds. As for location, you would never be able to tell that the Cedarbrook Lodge is in a neighborhood and not a secluded forest. Since it is only five or so minutes from SEA-TAC, I would occasionally hear planes but it was very peaceful and quiet overall. Each building in the hotel has a lounge where you can get free ice cream, water, and snacks like chocolate raisins and granola. The lounges have fireplaces and TVs and make for a wonderful little hangout spot. I would definitely recommend Cedarbrook Lodge to anyone staying in Seattle. read more

This is review is for the spa and the restaurant. The spa massage was excellent, however, there were noT many amenities. The hot tub was quite a distance from the massage rooms and there was only one shower with a very small "closet" locker/changing area. The food at the restaurant was mediocre, the portobello fries and the desserts were exceptional. Unfortunately, given the price and the value I probably won't be back---but maybe for drinks and dessert! read more

50% great service, 50% you feel like you are an inconvenience. This is an airport hotel so be prepared to hear the planes taking off throughout the night. I just spent a couple of days at the Cedarbrook Lodge. I had booked the hotel two days before my arrival. I had called ahead of time and spent a lengthy amount of time on the telephone explaining some special requirements in regards to my room due to health reasons. Reservations made a note in the account and I also brought it up again to confirm at check in. Notes were not made and even after speaking with the front desk before heading upstairs, the feathered pillows were not removed from the bed and the other linen allergy requirements that I was promised. I had called down to the front desk to speak with another receptionist (when you call here, you will almost always get someone new ALL the time, they are constantly changing workers it seems). A housekeeper had come to my room. She made me feel as if I was difficult asking for the non-feathered pillows for my room and the other room that I booked next door as well. A housekeeper had knocked and I thought it was someone I knew, and it was not. She rudely and raised her voice while telling me that I did not have a mask on, while I was standing in my room!!!! I was happy to go and find my mask but I was caught off guard because housekeeping had come 1.5 hours after I called to follow up. The hotel mentions on their website that they offer a pillow service with three different types of pillows for the comfort of their guests. When I called down, the front desk did not know anything about this service. I was told by the housekeeping individual that she may not have enough laundered non-feathered pillows. Concerning because the pillows should be laundered and to not have 8 laundered pillows with the amount of rooms is.....?????????? When I mentioned the pillow service that I saw on the website, she dismissed it and shrugged it off. The hotel Housekeeper brought the pillows - but I had asked for my bed to be re-made (front desk and housekeeping). She asked me why and I had told her how I saw a spot on the pillowcase and the fitted sheet. I also mentioned that I was allergic to the feathered pillows that were placed on the bed. I also mentioned that I did not want to get into my medical history but took the time to explain when I booked the reservation and again when I arrived. She refused to change my linens. It was unprofessional and very upsetting. The sheets were dirty! The very next morning I had hives all over my chest! I have photographs to document this. It seems they gave me a pet friendly room and I do not know why they would do this when I mentioned my allergies. Going out around the town: I had asked various staff while I was there if they could recommend a restaurant in the area. Not one person was able to recommend a place. It was very shocking. Also, unwilling to check. I wanted to visit the botanic gardens, and the front desk was not able to tell me anything about it. On one or two occasions, I would come across someone that truly knew the surrounding areas. The reality is: 50% of the time you will have 5 star kind service and 50% of the time you feel uncomfortable. It is the gemini of hotels. The servers at the restaurant are very kind. The food is limited due to COVID. I was told when I booked the hotel that they offered buffet breakfast. Due to COVID-19 this has been canceled. Please be sure to make note of this. They do have some breakfast sandwiches for purchase and granola. Sandwiches are already made and are put into a toaster oven to warm. I was told by a staff member that they were just getting by and seemed annoyed that we asked about the menu. He had replied that they are just serving food to survive. They place out apples and Starbucks Pike Place coffee complimentary. The coffee was a nice touch. They offer cups around the hotel so you can fill up with plain/citrus water. A really nice touch. Bathrooms: The bathrooms were modern. I was concerned to see that the vent was extremely dirty, filled with grey dust. Soaps are good but one recommendation is that in addition of an exfoliation body bar, rooms would be provided with a shower gel. Due to my allergies, I bring my own. I had the pleasure of visiting the spa gift shop downstairs and the manager of the SPA is such a kind, hospitable and down to earth person. I did not have a spa treatment but they did sell some jewelry, accessories, lotions and essential oils. The rooms were simple with a desk. I had asked for a room with a view and it was overlooking trailer homes next door. The property is lush and green - but small outdoor areas. Not too much walking on property. Overall, I think they may be suffering from the pandemic. Seems like a nice place to stay if you are in the area but do not go in with very high expectations based on the other reviews. read more
