Room is good. Clean. Nothing fancy. The kid that works overnights was awesome. Helped me figure out a spot for my trailer and was good with me dropping it there so I could run downtown and actually park. Service was amazing especially for an overnight job that no one wants to work. Definitely will use this hotel again if I need to bring my pickup and car trailer over to Seattle.

This was very pleasant and the people who work here are all amazing. The only thing bad was the laundry rooms, they are very run down and dirty machines. One took 3 hours to wash clothes, but overall we had a very very nice stay

The hotel is more of a motel. It's extremely loud because you not only hear the guests around, above, and below you, but you also hear the noise from the street you are next to and the traffic from the restaurant located in the parking lot. The rooms are kinda clean. I had 2 rooms during my stay and both had pubic hairs in the shower when I arrived, but the beds were made. The hotel, I mean motel, is conveniently located next to a restaurant...the same one that provides some if the noises, along with a convenient store, head shop, and gas station. While not being the most comfortable it is a convenient place for a weary traveler to stop while in the neighborhood, or in my case, a place to stay while commuting to the hospital daily to see my mother. That alone changed my rating from a 2.5 to a solid 4. While I have been a little negative about my stay there they do have coffee and breakfast for $5, and if you get a room on the backside of the motel away from the street it is much quieter. Had I been able to sleep on their squeeky beds I probably would have given it a higher rating. As it is, it isn't a Best Western, but it also isn't a Motel 6. Lower your expectations and bring ear plugs and you'll have a 5 star experience for sure!

Room was okay, clean had trouble opening and closing door. Ice machine broken Location was great for skytrain only a few blocks away to walk. Its a ruff looking neighbourhood, lots of garage and street individuals around. Had no problems though. Hotel had security patrolling, not very friendly. Made me feel like I was the enemy not the guest.

Excellent accommodations! Spacious room. No carpet but the flooring was nice and not cold at all. The heater worked great but a little noisy The towels did their job and didn’t smell I liked that the shower curtain was not plastic. The water pressure was great and the hot water never ran out. (Always a plus especially in the peak of the morning) There was a microwave, refrigerator and coffee pot. Plus a blow dryer and a dispenser in the shower with the shampoo, conditioner and Body Wash (Their conditioner was out, but we had our own) The TV was a smart TV and equipped to work off your smartphone, so pretty top notch for a hotel We enjoyed the complimentary breakfasts they provided every morning Lots of variety to choose from with some healthier choices - like turkey bacon and sausage and gluten free breads. Overall we were very impressed and will most likely try to come back again
