The people working there are great. The room was clean and cleaned every other day. Room away from the street worked well. I am giving it a 5 for those a reasons. Please note , it is in the part of Seattle that my friend who lives there says not to stay in .the place has a gate and protective window for the staff in the front desk area. May not be best for families but for single traveler or couple great and affordable. Again , kind staff who try. Thank you.

Fully gated, felt safe, dodgy area, very friendly

Sliding full height gate closes off rooms and parking area. Would not have stayed without that as it's definitely a dodgier road. Super friendly staff. Notices about no prostitution or drugs. Despite that, we felt safe (if on guard) as two women. Clean, comfortable, quiet room.

Stay again

Hotel is old but clean and functional. Bring your own hair dryer, kleenex and shampoo. Check-in staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Not the best area of town, but security at the hotel was great.

Diamond in the Rough

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The area wasn't the greatest, but I felt nothing but safe in the gated compound and I had no worries leaving my vehicle unattended in the parking lot during the day. Will definitely be back!

Good value

The motel isn't in a great area, but it's family fun by very nice people, and the rooms are clean, updated, and comfortable. There is a security gate that closes at night. For the value I recommend it.
