Staff was great, but this property is not very nice. I was moved from one of the older rooms that had barely 1 plug svailable to one of the newer ones. I just didnt think the place was worth the price

Solid Choice!
Excellent value at a great budget! Minimal but clean comfortable rooms with clean bedding and parking included! Very friendly staff at checkin and upfront with their policies and rules. It looks like a family runs the motel and they really care about their customers and run a good business. The room has a fridge and coffee maker. The walk in shower is very spacious. The gate for the parking lot really makes a difference in feeling safe and that my vehicle is secure. Don’t let the location deter you, this business earns their quality! Just what i needed to visit Seattle without breaking the bank!

The hotel room was incredibly cute. The staff was amazing. On arrival we were greated with a very warm welcome, and given the best restaurant recommendations. The property has round the clock surveillance as well as a security gate that closed after 9pm which made feel at ease. The price was also tremendous! I would recommend this hotel to anyone!!! 😁

I arrived WAYYY past check in hours (5 AM) after a long drive. The office was closed, but I gave the owner a call and she happily opened the doors and welcomed me in so I could sleep for a few hours before continuing my road trip. AMAZING service, gated parking lot, and a really clean room with a big bed. Would totally stay here again. Cheap price doesn’t always mean cheap service ❤️

Wonderful and Affordable
This motel is a hidden gem - clean with an incredibly comfortable bed. It is the only motel with a secure, gated entrance lot in the area. The parking lot is small yet has enough space and is brightly lit. Staff is super friendly. The owners really made this place shine for the location and affordability. Had to write a review with praise.
