Great Family Hotel in Tukwila, WA with Breakfast & Pool

by Katie Wallace | Updated: February 10, 2018

Traveling in the winter can be a fun way to mix up your family’s routine and spend some quality time together. When choosing a hotel on a family trip, it’s helpful to research destinations ahead of time so you know how long it will take to get there and which amenities are available for your family to enjoy. We’ve found that family travel especially with young kids goes much more smoothly with a little thoughtful planning.

Our cold weather travels took us to the Seattle area for a few days where we explored the Seattle Museum of Flight and visited the Tukwila Family Fun Center. We stayed at the Comfort Suites hotel in Tukwila, WA which ended up being a great choice for our family. Our hotel room layout comfortably accommodated our family of 5 and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning and a refreshing dip in hot tub and spacious pool.

Cozy Hotel Lobby

Comfort Suites Tukwila greets visitors with a spacious lobby complete with comfy couches and plenty of space to chat or read in front of the cozy fireplace. A complementary coffee bar includes several types of coffee, hot water and iced lemon water. We easily checked into our hotel room and the staff was helpful and accommodating, even providing us with extra complimentary toothbrushes which we had forgotten to bring for the kids. One night we purchased some treats from the small hotel store which offers a variety of candy and snacks along with cosmetics such as travel-sized hairspray and deodorant.

Luxurious Deluxe Family Suite

Our family stayed in one of the Deluxe Suites which was ideal to accommodate the kids’ nap times and any late night movies my husband and I wanted to watch. Our Deluxe Suite included a main bedroom with two queen beds alongside living room seating, an additional bedroom with a king sized bed, and a standard bathroom. We put the kids in the additional bedroom so we could use the main living space after the kids went to sleep.

Hot Breakfast

We enjoyed the complimentary hot breakfast buffet that included cereal, bagels, muffins and fruit alongside scrambled eggs, sausage and hash browns. The kids could help themselves to cups of yogurt, hard boiled eggs, and individual servings of butter and cream cheese displayed in a mini refrigerator. On another counder top, guests can make their own mini waffles and pour a cup of orange or cranberry juice from a drink dispenser.

We highly value staying at a hotel that offers some type of breakfast because it can be challenging to feed kids early in the morning while on vacation. Comfort Suites Tukwila made it easy for us to wake up, get the kids ready and go downstairs and enjoy a generous breakfast right near the hotel lobby. I’d definitely recommend Comfort Suites Tukwila as a family travel destination because of the breakfast spread alone.

Pool & Hot Tub

Comfort Suites Tukwila also has a spacious indoor heated pool that feels just about as warm as bath water. One side of the pool is only a few feet deep so the kids could splash around without much hands-on help. The other side of the pool gets deeper up to 4 feet.

We also enjoyed a dip in the hot tub which was set at a perfect temperature for both kids and adults. Easily accessible steps makes it convenient to get in and out of both the pool and the hot tub.

Additional Hotel Amenities

Other hotel highlights include a laundry room with coin-operated washing machines and dryers for guests. I spotted several vending machines offering an assortment of middle-of-the-night snacks.

Outside the hotel there are picnic tables and plenty of grassy areas for families to go on a walk in warmer weather.

Comfort Suites Tukwila is very close to the Southcenter Mall shopping and restaurants and it’s located near the junction of I-405 and I-5 which would take you straight into Seattle. This family-friendly hotel is a great location to stay near the city but not in the city. Overall we really enjoyed our experience and we would go back the next time we are in the Seattle area!

TRAVEL | KIDS | ADVENTURES 🌟 Creative family ideas! #createplaytravel

Did you know clothes driers are rare in Europe? 👚👖 Many people line dry their clothes, in an effort to be eco-conscious. When we find the occasional drier at a rental house, it has a water reservoir that we have to empty, almost every load. Often we line dry our clothes, which takes 2 days to dry. 🌟 Learning how to do laundry is one example of how traveling can inspire some lifestyle adjustments. Overall, our family is learning so much and creating so many memories as we explore the world. 🫶🌍🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #worldschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily
Shocker — in France, most candy is made without Shocker — in France, most candy is made without artificial food coloring! Can we do this in the US?? 🙋‍♀️ Asking on behalf of my kids and many other parents! 😄 Here’s why even Haribo is labeled with “sans colorant artificiel” in France:✨ Stricter EU regulations ban or limit synthetic dyes linked to hyperactivity or allergies.🌱 There’s a big cultural focus on natural ingredients and quality over flashy colors.👀 French shoppers read labels and avoid unnecessary additives — especially for kids!⚠️ Plus, any artificial dye used must carry a warning like: “May affect children’s behavior and attention.” (Yikes!)So instead of Red 40 or Yellow 5, French treats get their fun colors from plants — think beet juice, turmeric, spirulina, and carrots. 🍓🌿🌈Honestly? We love it. Simple, clean, and still delicious! 😋Would you try candy colored only with natural ingredients? Let us know! 👇
Major Rome highlight!! Things that surprised us at Major Rome highlight!! Things that surprised us at the Colosseum! 😲🇮🇹Stone passageways surround the arena, with three levels of seating — and beneath the floor lies a maze of underground chambers once used to hold wild animals and gladiators before battle.✨ We learned that the Colosseum could hold over 50,000 spectators, and it was built in just 8 years — incredible engineering for ancient Rome!We reserved special access to the top levels, where only 10 people are allowed every 30 minutes. Our family filled 6 of those spots! 🙌 Having those quiet moments above the arena, with no crowds, was surreal.📸 If you ever visit, definitely consider the extra ticket for this unique perspective!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravelHi!

When in Rome… 📸🇮🇹 Taking photos at the When in Rome… 📸🇮🇹 Taking photos at the iconic Trevi Fountain was more magical than we expected!💧Built in the 18th century, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome — and one of the most famous in the world. Designed by architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, it stands at the junction of three roads (“tre vie”), which is where it gets its name!We discovered there’s a crowd control system now in place — and it made all the difference! We stood in a short line to enter the front viewing area, completely free and without a time limit. We ended up staying for about 30 minutes, snapping photos and soaking in the view alongside just a few dozen other people.✨ It was such a cool surprise to enjoy this spot without battling a huge crowd. Definitely worth waiting for the photo op!📸 Is visiting the Trevi Fountain on your bucket list??🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵🌟 Hi!

We created unforgettable memories exploring these We created unforgettable memories exploring these iconic Roman landmarks with our kids! 🇮🇹⛲️ Trevi Fountain — Built in the 1700s, this Baroque masterpiece is where three ancient roads once met. The scale and details are incredible! Standing 85 feet tall and over 160 feet wide, it’s one of the largest fountains in the world!🇪🇸 Spanish Steps — Completed in 1725, these 135 steps link Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti church above. We all enjoyed the exercise while climbing these iconic stairs. 🏛️ Pantheon – Nearly 2,000 years old, it’s the best-preserved ancient Roman building. Our kids were amazed by the giant columns (each carved from a single piece of Egyptian granite) and the open oculus letting sunlight stream through the dome.Things we learned while traveling # 10 ☀️ History came alive for all of us in Rome!
