Place was really clean and updated! Our only thing would be that it would’ve been nice to have a safe in the room for our passports and documents etc but other than that it was great! Staff was very friendly and accommodating

Very clean, efficient, safe and comfortable at a good price. Nothing fancy but well maintained and new upgrades. The bed was comfortable and had a mini fridge and everything was working well. Super clean.

Clean and renovated rooms provide the basics plus frig and microwave. Area surrounding hotel is less traveler oriented, with tire stores, repair places, lack of sidewalks etc.

I was a little nervous about staying in this neighborhood but it has a locking gate and they have a bunch of policies that keep it safe. The room was freshly remodeled and very comfortable.

Never been to Seattle but the one absolute standout is the fact the property is gated. If your worried your car could get stolen in an unfamiliar city than worry not. You get a code for the gate if you need to sneak out for whatever reason (dinner).

I showed up a whole day early and they let me add another day to my stay and put me up that night. That was great. The area around the hotel is acknowledged to be not a great area, but the hotel has taken great pains to have security and livability as a priority, and it shows. I was working nearby and I needed to sleep. The room was perfect for what I needed it. The accommodations were simple, and low priced. It was a pleasure to stay there
