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.

A very basic, older motel, affordable, clean, pleasant staff, free parking, easily accessible from Aurora. If you want luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you want a comfortable, affordable stay close to Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle Pacific University, this is a good choice.

Staff was very friendly. Easy check-in. Good location. It's an older property but lots of charm. Free parking. They monitor cameras on the property, so it felt secure. We stayed along our roadtrip & they were the only location that thought ahead to offer us extra towels at check-in (we had 3 travelers) because 2 towels is not enough & is what every other location provided. Would stay there again. Ice machine was not working.

The Marco Polo is an old school motel and legend has it that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and my room was very clean. Easy access to downtown and Freemont. There is an express bus just a few blocks away.

The room was clean and comfortable. Good size for a single queen, with a couch, table, and chairs that many venues are doing away with these days. Larger fridge and microwave than at most motels. Can't beat it at the price.

If you don't need fancy, this place is good for a quick stay. It looks a little sketchy on the outside, but the inside was clean, the AC worked, and the beds were comfy! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The linens were clean and nice quality. There's no breakfast and the coffee pot and mini fridge are very basic, but it's close enough to coffee and food that it was no big deal. I've stayed in name brand chains that weren't nearly as comfortable for twice as much. Highly recommended for a modest home base while you explore the area.
