I stayed in room #174....PLEASE HERE ME....DO NOT STAY HERE! I would never have stayed here based on reviews, but we needed a last minute room and due to everything under the sun happening the next day in Seattle including Morgan Wallen in concert, everything was sold out except this place. I paid $175 for a room that was the worst lodging ever, including staying in 3rd world countries....it was DISGUSTING! Out of 4 lampshades, 2 were torn and hanging off the lamps. Out of 2 light fixtures in the ceiling, one did not work and the one in the bathroom was missing the guts and was just a lightbulb. The toilet would not flush because the mechanism in the tank had been replaced with a unit too small. So, I had to take the ice bucket and put two buckets in the tank in order to get it to flush. The door would not deadbolt and the chain could have been popped in a heartbeat. I'm quite sure there were people living (not staying temporarily) in other units and the one next to us had a hasp and padlock on the door with light on inside...probably a grow operation. The walls and ceilings had all kinds of disgusting and questionable stuff on them. I'm not gonna speculate what it might have been, but you can imagine. The coffee maker....absolutely laughable!!! What a joke. No blow drier, no tissues. Just enough toilet paper to get by. The bed looked clean, but when we pulled the bed skirt up, the boxspring was DISGUSTING. Stains, mildew, you name it. I pulled the blanket

Room door didn’t seal properly so room smelled like smoke. Couldn’t get a warm shower. Toilet wouldn’t flush. Gave 2 bar towels as bath towels. Cobwebs in every corner. Bathroom floor so dirty my socks were black. We felt our car was unsafe due to the amount of people just hanging around that parking lot. I don’t recommend this place

This property really needs some love put into it. There are holes and weird discolorations in the walls everywhere. When we arrived in our room all of our towels were on the floor (folded). The listing for the room had pictures of a nice hot tub and pool. When we arrived we were told there was not hot tub (it's all closed up permanently) and we were told the pool was out of commission. The room did the job, but it was dingy.

I would totally stay here again. The reviews I seen scared me a bit but once I got into the room, it smelt very clean and looked very clean. The only bad thing I can talk about is how one night I left to go to the store and came back to no parking. But it was also right after a concert so I guess it was predictable that it would be sold out.

The location was great. The price was what I was allowed as my business paid for this trip. Breakfast was basically bread and juice(unless you like fruit loops). There is not much nearby other than two convenience stores and a jack in the box. The floor was dirty and the room was old. I received a small shampoo the first day, then was told there was no more. My room had no hot water in the shower - I ran it for about a half hour and it became less than icy, but never warm. Towels were small and except the first day(of a four-day stay) no one came to my room even though the maid walked by many times, so when I left my garbage was stacked and my towels were used every day. The TV worked but had terrible reception and if you turned the bathroom light on, the TV basically was unsee-able. The pool was OK, but the hot tub is out of service. The bus stop is a short walk, but be aware even a small trip in an Uber in Seattle will be 40-60 dollars at a minimum. There were some kind of sketchy individuals in the lobby a couple of times, but never bothered me - one morning I was one minute early to breakfast and the clerk just stood and stared at me when I tried the door - I apologized but she basically blew me off. Overall - it is an OK place for me, I am sure those with higher expectations would be very disappointed. The first clerk I met was very nice, the rest seemed as if I was a bother. The ice machine is broken so if you need ice, you have to go to one of the stores.

A great hotel for a QUICK stay and are on a budget. I’m not too picky when it comes to hotels if I’m going to the area for an event. The good first: When I arrived to the hotel, I was greeted very kindly by the staff. They have extremely nice staff. They also offer breakfast in the morning which I was not expecting, but pleasantly surprised. The rooms were clean, but not spotless. They didn’t smell or have leftover trash. The towels were clean and even gave us new ones throughout our stay. Now the bad: The photos in the listing showed clean simple room but when I got to my room, it was very rundown. The room door was dirty, the bathroom door had a hole as if someone punched it. The shower tub was stained. The mirror had scratches on it. The floor tiles were even broken. The clothing rack was rusted. The power outlet near the hairdryer did not work at all so the hairdryer was useless. The furniture had a lot of wear and tear, but i don’t really come to hotels for furniture. The bed was comfy but was on wheels? so it was very easily pushed. With all that being said, the hotel is an okay stay, it’s not perfect but I’ve stayed in way worse. It’s a place to sleep at night while you’re in the area. I’d recommend it to anyone who is on a budget and not too picky where they stay at. This place would be 10/10 if they gave it some TLC
