Check-in was fast and my room was clean and comfortable. I had a good night's sleep even though the hotel is on a busy highway. The hotel is only accessible while driving north on the highway so it's a bit tricky if you are arriving southwards from the north. Dining choices are few with the closest restaurants being a 7-10 min walk away -- if you don't want to drive. That said, the price of my room was great and I'd probably repeat if I have business in the area.

A very basic, older motel, affordable, clean, pleasant staff, free parking, easily accessible from Aurora. If you want luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you want a comfortable, affordable stay close to Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle Pacific University, this is a good choice.

The room was clean and comfortable. Good size for a single queen, with a couch, table, and chairs that many venues are doing away with these days. Larger fridge and microwave than at most motels. Can't beat it at the price.

The Marco Polo is an old school motel and legend has it that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and my room was very clean. Easy access to downtown and Freemont. There is an express bus just a few blocks away.

Overall, this is a good hotel if you need a place to crash for a few nights. The TV didn't work well, there was "no signal" on many of the channels. Even if you do get a signal, it would fade out every 5 minutes or so. The fridge didn't work neither. The room was cold, and it took a while to heat up after you crank up the thermostat. You can also hear vehicle noise on the road, although it wasn't loud enough to bother me. The Wifi did work well. The benefit of this place is the location and price! You can walk to the Fremont neighborhood, Fremont Troll, the Zoo, within 10 -15 minutes. This is probably the cheapest motel in Seattle that includes parking. If you don't need any amenities, this is a good place to stay.

Hotel rooms are spacious with so many amenities. Fridge. Microwave. A stand up shower. A small comfy couch. And 2 desks. Not to mention an incredibly comfortable bed after a long day of driving. Hotel and its staff were incredible.

I stayed at the Marco Polo Motel for about 2 weeks. It was a great stay here! It is very close distance to Downtown Seattle, as well as other Suburban Seattle Places. The Seattle Orca Public Transportation System makes it easy for travel without a car. The room was clean. The room has a good amount of space with a TV, a good bathroom, and WiFi. I would recommend this Motel to anyone that is looking to visit Seattle, WA.

Great spot, next to major road Aurora Ave, but noise was not too bad, we slept great! Obviously renovated recently and nicely. Not a chain place, homey. All amenities micro, fridge, TV, hot water, coffee maker all budget, but more than adequate, polite service. super easy access to Fremont, city and access to freeways. Top notch for price, will definitely return.
