Great staff and clean rooms. Gated property adds to the feeling of safety as the area of town has some issues. Will stay there again.

Extremely affordable and perfect for our needs. Short drive or bus to all downtown activities. Quiet, spacious and very accomodating for longer stays. Our room had a large kitchenette, but the dining options in the surrounding area were delightful and inexpensive finds. Gyro Salaba and the Vietnamese restaurant across the street were incredible!

My son is a black belt but said this was the worst place he has ever stayed in. He was scared to go to sleep. It is true the new management is attempting to run a nice place but the location is not acceptable. It should not be included in your list of possible locations

It was clean and safe feeling on the property for sure! Only complaint was the pillow (very firm) and there was no power outlet in the bathroom. But other than that, it was excellent, clean and well kept!

Loved the staff, gave us great food recommendations and were positive and helpful. The gated parking area was a bonus. Even though the area wasnt the safest, there is nothing bad we could say about our stay. Clean rooms and a good price!

Staff is very nice and you feel safe in the property as there is a security guard and a gate. Room is small but I only sleep there so it is excellent for that.

Rooms were clean, price was decent. Lots of awesome food trucks around if you like tacos. Was a bit sketchy late at night or early morning (when I was leaving) aside from that it was a cool area if you want to stuff your face with various foods. Oh and there is a really cool Asian grocery store down the street a few blocks.

The front desk staff and owners were so friendly and helpful. I had asked for a quiet room, after traveling for 2 days to reach Seattle, and Joy set us up in the perfect room. We didn't hear a sound all night. The room was clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The hotel is a little distance out of downtown, but you save a lot of money for nice accommodations. Getting there was easy via the E line bus, and that also saved lots of money compared with Lyft/Uber.

The property itself was very nice and clean. Excellent price. The only problem was explaining to my son that the prostitutes didn’t come with the Hotel/Motel.
