I liked the facilities, they look renewed and well-maintained despite not being a new building. The staff was amicable and kind, including a lady who seemed to be coordinating the housekeeping activities which is as beautiful as lovely. Thanks for taking care of the guests. They even have a gate at the parking lot that makes all guests feel very safe.

The Wifi. I was alerted by my devices that the network was not safe at all. I was not comfortable connecting to the WiFi because of it—just that.

The property is gated. The room had plenty of space with closet, dresser, work area, comfy bed, separate bath, and plenty of light. The air conditioner worked well and the staff were amazing. Especially Joy (front desk) she made me feel welcomed as with a few other staff members I would name if I had asked (:

I was a first time visitor passing through. I did not know the area (downtown Seattle is a little unsettling) that is if you are traveling alone. When I arrived I didn't see the gate and almost cancelled my reservations and drove further. See above for reasons I stayed. Thank you Staff!

Everything was as advertised. We wanted somewhere with decent security and this place goes above and beyond with a locked gate after midnight and a security guard on site. Perfect for people traveling with fair merchandise like us. Both staff people I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The duvets were some of the best I've encountered in a hotel. Super comfy. Fridge and microwave worked as expected. Very quiet place. Never once heard our neighbors. The location is great for staying a night or two. Lots of good restaurants in the area, but I don't know if I'd recommend walking as opposed to driving your car. We come from Portland so nothing scandalized us but I could see some tourists being a bit put out.

Weird smell coming from the AC, but at least it worked well. Nothing really in walking distance. Even to go to the restaurant across the street requires either jay walking or going out of your way to find a crosswalk. With that kind of avenue, jaywalking is highly NOT recommended, ha.

It was very high quality for a motel, the staff were so nice and friendly. They gave me all the information I needed, including information about parking and the parking gate if you have a car and drive in and out late in the evening, and I was surprised at how clean it was. I would definitely go back again!!! If you have a car, you can reach almost any tourist area or major parks within 15-20 minutes!!!

There is no hairdryer available. I knew this information in advance and brought my own, but it would be inconvenient if you are traveling from out of town without a car or using public transportation.

Very clean and modern finishes. Much better security than most motels in the area. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy walking distance to a RapidRide E Line bus that takes you straight into the heart of Seattle for only $ 3.25 per person.

The only downside is that the location is not the greatest for walking, especially after hours. So it is perfect when you have a car, but not ideal if you were planning to use public transport outside of business hours, as the some of the locals are.... interesting.

Motel was clean, the room was big enough and the amenities confortable. The parking is secured so you can leave your car no problem. The staff was nice and efficient. A few restaurants or fast food options to have breakfast nearby.

Even though you have a bus that takes you downtown, the bus ride was an experience in itself. I would recommend going there with the car if you're a solo traveler or maybe even a couple. Didn't feel threatened but definitely not at ease.

Some people complain in their reviews about the motel's neighborhood, but with 24 hour security on the site it was safe and peaceful. Combined with accessibility to all good stores and food places that are located nearby I'd consider it's a good, convenient and safe place to stay

loved the 24 hour security and how clean the rooms were. the AC units were essential as well because of how hot it was. great addition.

the neighbourhood isn’t the greatest. obviously they can’t change that. but they do a great job of keeping the motel super safe.

The location isn’t ideal because of the population living on the streets but the staff made us feel welcome and their security is top notch, we felt completely safe and secure in our room and parking lot. Thankyou again for the courteous and friendly service we received !

The facility was clean and updated and I liked the fact that it was close and easy access. Some reviews I read stated it was a shady part of town and I honestly did not feel that way. The facility was gated at night which was a huge plus for me. We felt very safe. Front desk person was very nice and personalable
