Homewood Suites by Hilton is an excellent hotel in a very nice Tukwila location. It is nestled almost in the bend of the green river, next to small businesses and a fitness trail.
A very friendly staff welcomed us, but our rooms were not yet ready as we arrived just before check-in time. They offered to care for our baggage while we went sight seeing. That night they hosted a social with free dinner and drinks.
However, I chose to go out for dinner and drove to the neary by Stellar Pizza in Georgetown neighborhood of South Seattle. This was described to me by a local as a "biker chick" place. The ambiance was very nice and the service warm. The wait staff and cooks really knew what they were doing. I enjoyed the chili and antipasta served with Italian bread and sweet cornbread.
I had time for a good workout outside as the very small fitness center was completely packed with three people. The fitness center did have two treadmills and an elliptical machine. Though there were no weights, they did have several medicin balls.
Staying in a hotel doesn't mean you can't exercise. Just make sure you prepare with the proper clothing before you travel.
Bring moisture wicking clothing...it dries faster
Hang them up on clothes hangers in the show...they will dry even faster
Spread a towel on the floor so you don't get hotel germs
Take advantage of local trails, but be careful while running in traffic
Get the weather forecast
Don't get lost
Watch your intake. Even healthy food in restaurants is saturated in fat stuff to make it taste better
When all else fails, take advantage of the hotel fitness centers.
