Overall, this is a good hotel if you need a place to crash for a few nights. The TV didn't work well, there was "no signal" on many of the channels. Even if you do get a signal, it would fade out every 5 minutes or so. The fridge didn't work neither. The room was cold, and it took a while to heat up after you crank up the thermostat. You can also hear vehicle noise on the road, although it wasn't loud enough to bother me. The Wifi did work well. The benefit of this place is the location and price! You can walk to the Fremont neighborhood, Fremont Troll, the Zoo, within 10 -15 minutes. This is probably the cheapest motel in Seattle that includes parking. If you don't need any amenities, this is a good place to stay.

I stayed at the Marco Polo Motel for about 2 weeks. It was a great stay here! It is very close distance to Downtown Seattle, as well as other Suburban Seattle Places. The Seattle Orca Public Transportation System makes it easy for travel without a car. The room was clean. The room has a good amount of space with a TV, a good bathroom, and WiFi. I would recommend this Motel to anyone that is looking to visit Seattle, WA.

The refrigerator door does not close completely. The bathroom door also does not close properly. Additionally, there is an unusual odor in the unit. The couch also has some animal hair on it. Other than these issues, the room was good.

I would have rated them better but I paid for my room with Hotels.com and when I showed up to check in I had to pay an additional deposit for the room. When I checked out the guy said you’ll get your deposit in like 3 days. It’s been over 7 days and no deposit. Also no response to my messages. There’s always some kinda issue with Hotels.com and these hotel/motels. Y’all need to get it together and STOP ripping people off. The room its self was clean and the place was quiet. No issues other than you may not get your deposit back.
