This is a very bare-bones no frills motel. I had two very different experiences here, strangely enough. Night 1: Amazing customer service from the front desk clerk. The bathroom was clean. I got a solid night's sleep except for briefly being awoken at 3am by some voices through the wall. Otherwise, it was a quiet night and no complaints. Night... More

If I were reviewing Valu Inn based solely on the staff's performance, I'd give it a solid five stars! Both clerks we dealt with were very accommodating- a welcome relief after a nightmare flight that stranded us overnight in Seattle without our luggage. Their shuttle service to and from the airport was reliable. Other reviewers that point out a $5... More

Thank you for your review. Our inn is on the main airport strip so during certain times of the day there can be traffic noise. If you are sensitive to this just ask our front desk agent to provide you with a room further away from the road. It will be our pleasure. We now offer a 24HR Airport shuttle,... More

The proximity to the airport and setting in a down to earth area, made this a great place to stay. The very low prices in the nearby shops that the local use were a great surprise for we Aussie travellers. The people were so polite and friendly, we are looking forward to flying back to Oz from there. More

The hotel has shuttle service, but it's only free if you travel from the hotel to the airport. A reverse trip costs $5. I was told by the receptionist that it was a fee charged by the airport for shuttles going into the airport. I had to go downtown first, so I called the hotel to arrange for a pickup... More

That was the first thing I thought upon entering the rooms. Our non smoking rooms reeked of tobacco fumes. The mattresses had broken springs and holes in them. The carpets were coming up. The parking was a nightmare to maneuver with the fence being so close to the parking spaces. The internet worked in one room, but not the other... More

We paid $50 for a family of four. It is fairly close to the airport. The shuttle cost my wife and kids $5.50 when the ad on Hotels.com said free shuttle. The breakfast was packaged pastries and synthetic "fruit" juice. The room itself was rundown but clean. We were only there seven hours. For an extra 10-15 bucks more, you... More

I usually stay near SEA via Priceline bidding, but that has had little inventory at SEA this year. This time for $49 including tax I stayed in a queen non-smoking at the Valu Inn instead. It was basic, but perfectly fine for my overnight stay. This 1.5 star motel near SEA airport has a 3 star attitude, and I mean... More

OK place but not the best. fairly clean, some rooms have a slight smell. Some funny characters that check into this place. Reception a bit confused but pleasant. Breakfast coffee, tea and prepacked bun. More
