Shuttle and package terms are shown as published only where we read them on the hotel’s own page, with the date we read it. Everywhere else the cell says what the hotel advertises, or that nothing is published — a shuttle you cannot confirm is one you should not plan an embarkation morning around.

8 min drive to Pier 66, 15 min drive to Pier 91$$

It is a one-way ride: there is no return service from the terminal, so book the trip home separately. Light rail from Sea-Tac stops at Westlake Center next door, making the airport-to-hotel transfer dead simple.

Parking: Valet parking, charged nightly. No long-term cruise parking — the hotel says to park at the terminal if you need to leave the car.
