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 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.

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.

If you don't need fancy, this place is good for a quick stay. It looks a little sketchy on the outside, but the inside was clean, the AC worked, and the beds were comfy! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The linens were clean and nice quality. There's no breakfast and the coffee pot and mini fridge are very basic, but it's close enough to coffee and food that it was no big deal. I've stayed in name brand chains that weren't nearly as comfortable for twice as much. Highly recommended for a modest home base while you explore the area.
