The verdict

The Fairfield is an early-flight hotel for people who won't need a car. Breakfast starts at 5 AM on weekdays, the airport shuttle is free on request, and Marriott's page mentions "low cost cruise shuttles to Ports 66 and 91" without naming the company or the fare.

Seattle Express lists it as a pickup at $30 a person; Marriott doesn't say whether that's the shuttle it means.

Marriott is blunt about the car: "No long-term parking offered." The $15 a day is for your stay, limited and first come. That's why it closes our twenty at No. 20, level on 30 with the Holiday Inn Express next door and ahead of it on the alphabet.

Book it when you're flying in late and sailing the next day, and reserve the pier shuttle before you land.

Book it if

  • Flyers landing at SEA the night before
  • Early risers

Look elsewhere if

  • You need to leave the car.
  • You're under 21.
  • You travel with a pet.

Marriott's page mentions "low cost cruise shuttles to Ports 66 and 91" without naming the company or the price. Fairfield SeaTac is on Seattle Express's pickup list: $30 a person each way, per that company's site, for about 18.1 road miles to Pier 91 by our estimate.

Breakfast

Free hot breakfast, 5 to 9 AM weekdays and 6 to 10 AM weekends.

Heading out
To the terminal

Marriott gives no distance from Fairfield SeaTac to either pier. The hotel is on International Boulevard, a mile from the airport. Our road estimate is about 14.6 miles to Pier 66 and 18.1 miles to Pier 91 — empty-road figures, so pad them for traffic. Allow more than our estimate of 36 minutes from Fairfield SeaTac to Pier 91 — that figure assumes empty roads.

Fairfield SeaTac earns 10 for where it sits, 10 for the ride and 0 for parking. It scores nothing for parking while you sail — Fairfield SeaTac doesn’t publish it, so that’s a zero, not a guess. Here’s how the Night-Before Score works.
