I was messaged at 4pm asking when I would be checking in. I responded by 6pm. They then informed me that they were closing early at 5pm instead if 10pm and to text them when I arrived. When I arrived I text the number and they asked for a copy if my drivers license to be texted to them. I was VERY uncomfortable with that and told them so. Whoever was texting me (I still dont know who it was) told me that I would have to provide ID at check in no matter what. I understand tHat, but its normally a human not some random # via text. I blurred out my ID and sent it. I was able to get into my room. Once I took my shoes off my feet were filthy. The pillows on the bed smelt stale, not like any sort of fabric wash. Thankfully, I had my own blanket to throw over the pillows to be able to lay down. I booked this hotel because my sister was having surgery at the UW, 12 mins away. I wasnt even comfortable to take a shower in room 102 as the shower was gross!!! Save your money!!

This is a very old-style property. Nice people, working to upgrade things, but it’s got a very retro feel. Noisy air conditioner, and the cable was iffy. Still, the bed was very comfortable, and the property felt safe.

This place was a great value, and, just like the other reviews have said, the staff are delightful: kind and helpful. One note on the shower: if you’re tall (probably anybody taller than 6’2”, but particularly bad for those above around 6’4”), be warned: the shower enclosure had a dropped ceiling. I’m guessing it’s around 6’4” in there? Maybe okay for a day if you’re used to the world being too short…

Great motel just outside the city. Rooms are a little outdated but very spacious and everything was cleaned and worked. All staff we spoke to were very friendly and gave us great food and drink recommendations. Parking free and right outside our room. Around a 10minute walk down to freemont which has bars, restaurants, supermarkets, breweries and lots more. Area felt very safe. Drive or bus will take around 10mins into the city, we walked and it took around an hour with some great views and nice places to grab a coffee along the water front. Great value option very close to Seattle

Awesome Value!

After checking in at the office my expectations were quite low but actually, you can tell they've done a lot of work on these rooms. We had an absolutely perfect stay. Rooms were quite comfortable and staff was super friendly. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Worth the price.

As others have mentioned there is road noise. Especially with racing motorcycles. It quiets down substantially after 9 pm. There are good food options a short 3 blocks away. The place is old but it was clean enough and comfortable. The staff was great.

The motel is on a busy, high speed stroad with very loud traffic. I had a decent room that was as far from the traffic as possible, but open windows are an issue for noise. The AC unit - as an alternative to open windows - was aging and loud and squeaky. Overall, visitors will be here because of the relative low cost (though still very expensive by most standards). The area seemed safe enough.

It is a very basic motel, but clean rooms and friendly staff. More than enough to spend the night before our cruise. There are nice restaurants within a short walking distance. The area is very quiet and the bus stop is just a couple of blocks away.
