For someone coming from the Southeast, visiting Seattle is expensive. This motel is relatively cheap, but for a few reasons. Your room is tiny, the beds are uncomfortable, the pillows were practically worthless. The shower has very limited volume and pressure. The a/c ran all the time, which is the only way we didn't notice the highway noise. If we have to come back to Seattle (unlikely), we will pay the extra hundred dollars per night to stay at the next level up.
