Honestly it was well kept up for a old motel. Great for someone needing a place for a few nights with the basics of sleeping. I paid more for less and probably will stay here again.

Clean room, really nice staff, secure property, surprisingly quiet for its proximity to a busy road. Yes, it is a budget motel so it’s not exactly big on amenities, but it’s a ~20 minute drive from downtown Seattle, so it was well worth it for needing a place to crash for a night after seeing a show. I guess the only actual issue we had was the WiFi didn’t work for us, but it really didn’t matter because cell service was fine in the area, and everything else was great, so I would say that was pretty minor. Just FYI, they do hold a $100 deposit on a credit card during your stay, so make sure to factor that into your budget if money is tight. They released the hold not even two hours after we left, though, so it all worked out.
