Coast Gateway is the airport hotel that feeds you twice. Breakfast is hot and free from 6 to 10 AM, Sharps RoastHouse does a steak and a draft beer the night before, the airport shuttle runs 24 hours, and parking is free for every night you stay.
For the cruise week it's the Park & Stay rate, which Coast mentions without a price or a number of nights — an offer, not a quote.
No ride to the port appears on Coast's pages, so it's No. 14. Seattle Express picks up here for $30 a person, and Pier 91 is about 17.6 miles by road on our estimate.
Ask for the Park & Stay rate when you book, then reserve Seattle Express for the morning run.

- Drivers who want to leave the car

Your night before, from here
Check-in to gangway at Coast Gateway, built from what the hotel publishes plus our road estimates — the drive times are ours, not the hotel’s.
Sharps RoastHouse for dinner and a draft beer, a free guest laundry, and a free 24-hour airport shuttle.
Coast publishes no ride to or from the port. Coast Gateway is on Seattle Express's pickup list: $30 a person each way, per that company's site, for about 17.6 road miles to Pier 91 by our estimate.
Free hot breakfast, 6 to 10 AM.
Coast Gateway gives no distance to either pier. It's on International Boulevard in SeaTac, about a mile from the airport. Our road estimate is about 14.1 miles to Pier 66 and 17.6 miles to Pier 91 — empty-road figures, so pad them for traffic. Allow more than our estimate of 35 minutes from Coast Gateway to Pier 91 — that figure assumes empty roads.
Coast lists "special packages for guests requiring long-term parking" without a price, and its deals page showed none live. Parking is free while you stay.
Night-Before Score: 37 of 100
Coast Gateway earns 10 for where it sits, 0 for the ride and 14 for parking. It scores nothing for a ride to the ship — Coast Gateway doesn’t publish it, so that’s a zero, not a guess. Here’s how the Night-Before Score works.
