This hotel was fine for a quick overnight just to have a place to sleep. It was very clean, staff were very friendly. Biggest issue was lack of plugs - none in the bathroom, only one on one side of bed. I had to unplug an air freshener behind the tv to plug in my phone, and unplug the microwave to charge my smart watch. Also odd design, there’s a standalone closet that blocks half the entry way to the kitchenette - you have to shimmy by it to get by. The area is a bit skier by, but there is a coded security gate and it was quiet while we were there. Not sure I’d return but it was good for the price.

This place is a hidden gem. The guard in the parking lot and how nice the staff is makes a world of difference.

Seattle best,
I really enjoyed my stay. Although on a major road, I still was very quiet in the room and I heard no traffic. The bed was very comfortable. Apple supplies of soap and shampoo and the space to prepare my own food was excellent. Overall, I would definitely come here again

Lady on the front desk was very attentive, for here 5 stars. But location 0. Didn’t believe those reviews who mentioned hookers but THEY ARE EVERYWHERE IN THE AREA AT NIGHT!!! If I didn’t already pay for the room I would never stay there. Couldn’t touch anything or lay in the bed and not thinking of them and what was possibly going on in the room. The room was clean enough, paid $80. You could pay $20 more in different area and feel more safe and peacefull

The location was great with access to lots of things. Only issue was the fan in the bathroom never turned off and the hookers standing in the gate area in the early morning and evening

The staff was great and the location was convenient for my purpose in town. The bathroom had a bad smell initially, but that was the only less than pleasant thing in our experience.
