Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, staff person at check in a check out was friendly an helpful. Conveniently located to where I was going in north Seattle. Good family owned Vietnamese restaurants very nearby. The motel feels very safe, though I know there have historically been some safety concerns in the neighborhood, I felt quite safe walking to nearby restaurants. However, the main road outside the motel is VERY busy and not pedestrian friendly. Motel has some unusual security notices that might put off some guests, but this is because of the past history of the vicinity. Overall, you can’t beat the price, cleanliness, and convenience of this motel in the heart of north Seattle only a mile and a half from Puget Sound beaches and parks.

The front desk was charming and helpful. This motel is a steal for its price, and the gated, well-lit parking is very reassuring. Rooms are modern and clean. I will stay again!

Room was clean and nicer than I expected for the price. Staff was helpful. Only complaint is that the beds are super hard. I understand that they will last longer which keeps costs down but it was like sleeping on a wooden block with a cardboard topper.
