I went up to Seattle for a few days for a class and needed a place close to the city that would t break the bank. The area is not great. It’s right on a busy four lane and it’s all commercial around it but, for a place to stay? It’s great. The parking is secured by a gate. The rooms are clean, the beds comfortable, it’s modern because it has recently been updated and it’s quiet. The staff are very nice and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. I had no complaints whatsoever.

Parking was secure. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Even though it is in a bit of dodgy area, we as 4 females travelling, all felt safe. The staff are also extremely approachable. The room was clean, and pretty quiet, with great blackout curtains, and comfortable beds. Would happily recommend this motel.
