Very Good

Great clean motel, very convenient location. It could be a bit loud as it is located near the busy street, but we were not bothered by it with the right ear plugs. Would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Really good location and just a short walk to catch the bus to down town.
Clean, simple, safe, helpful staff, old-school, affordable—just how I like my lodging! I plan to stay here again when I return to Seattle with my family.
You can walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and a grocery store called Marketime Foods in the neighborhood.
The staff goes way out of their way to accomodate you and make sure you have a great stay. We were pretty needy at one point and they were amazing with helping us. There is a gentleman working the desk who was the absolute best and I wish I had his name, but he is from California and was better to us then most places have ever been. If you get a chance to stay here, it's cute and has amazing staff!
We have already booked our next room for the next time we’re back in Seattle. It’s old but clean. We only stayed one night but it was quiet and the front desk person who checked us in was great.
Very basic, but we had a room with couch and two chairs which is important to us. The bed was great and staff was very helpful. Bathroom was very small, but clean. We would go back,
Very simply check in and check out, key was easy to use, found my room just fine and had the best view of the motel ! would recommend considering reasonable pricing and decent cleanliness
Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I did not need a car as the hotel was located on a rapid bus service line. An East-West bus is also available. The noise from the hyway did not bother me. Food available several blocks away. Some bathroom fixtures need attention but overall this hotel is good value. I would stay again.
Ample parking, but tv signal was a disaster
The phone in the room doesn't work either
I think their air con unit needs updating
Apart from that, the room is spacious

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
I loved this place. Location to downtown was great. Free parking ($50 and up elsewhere) this hotel is old and quirky and I like that. The staff were nice and very personable.
But the cleanliness was poor. Would be cool place if it were crisp and clean. Would not stay here again.
The place itself was nice, however the median on Aurora made travelling to the motel a bit of a hassle when coming from anywhere north of it. The room was spacious, and a good place to rest at the end of the day.
