Great Place to stay
Great place to stay in the Seattle area. The staff were very welcoming, the room was great for what we needed and the property had 24hr security and was gated. I felt safe leaving my vehicle there while i hopped on the public transportation a block up the street to explore the city.

The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. Joy at the front desk was friendly and very welcoming to us. There was an air conditioner unit in the room which I was grateful for. The bus was only a couple minutes away and took us right downtown Seattle. They run quite frequently and we were able to get back late after the concert with no problem. There were also stores and restaurants close by to the motel by walking. The drive to downtown was not bad but there is a lot of traffic the closer you get. There are many shops within a 15 minute drive in most directions from the motel.

A really great value in a declining part of town. I would stay here again anytime. Round the clock gated security is excellent as well.

Not a great neighborhood. The rooms were all non-smoking but it definitely smelled like old, stale smoke from a while ago. Luckily we were only there for about 15 hrs. It provided a bed for a night and that's what we needed but it was not luxurious. Wouldn't stay again. HOWEVER, the front desk staff were super nice and lovely! They made up for the stinky rooms!

I liked the convenience for getting downtown but the hotel rooms could have a bit more hangers and hooks in the bathroom to hang your towels on after a shower..

Great place to stay
The service was fantastic. The room was reasonably sized, nicely decorated and comfortable. The parking area and entrances into the room has nightly security The location of the motel is sandwiched between desirable and undesirable areas of the city. Personally, we never felt unsafe.
