The place is clean, quiet, and secured by fencing at night. There were no tissues provided, and you definitely get a budget vibe. The bolt lock could not be bolted from the outside, when leaving. So...a mixed bag. But definitely reasonably priced.

Good place to stay for the cost but we had a few things missing that could have made the our stay a little better. One, they could have had another bed side table with a lamp and plug to charge a phone etc. Second thing Bathroom needs a shelf or counter to put your toiletry bags on, had to put them on the toilet when using and after use they went into the kitchenette.

Great spot not too far from Northgate Mall LRT station for easy access to downtown Seattle. Although the neighborhood has a reputation for being a bit sketchy, we found the accommodation to be safe and secure and loved the restaurants available nearby. Reasonable price and clean and comfortable. Pillows on the bed were okay so if you're driving in I recommend bringing a pillow from home.

Would stay there again

The staff was extremely friendly. The location was convenient. The room was simple and clean. No-frills but great price. The parking lot is very well lit at night, the only unfortunate thing is that even though there’s blackout curtains, you can still see the light shining on the edges of the curtains. There is a security gate so the location is extremely secure. Would stay there again.
