Just a follow up to the Hotel from this past weekend.

We had no problems following the directions to the hotel and it was only about 5 miles from the Alderwood mall. Checked in and inquired about places to eat and the clerk had a hard time recommending a burger place to eat around the hotel. I started asking for certain places like 5 guys and he did find the location for us on the internet and printed off the directions. He did recommend Dick's and we did try that out on Saturday night and it was good.

Put the bags into the room and found the room okay. It was CLEAN and so was the bathroom. The TV was on the smaller size, but at least they had a cable box with some decent channels.

There was a queen size bed and it was bouncier than we were used to.

What is with all the hotels and where they place their shower head? I am 6 foot 1 and every time I visit a hotel I have to bend my back to get my head under the shower head. Can hotels not place the head higher? The shower/tub unit had a slow drain so it was like showering in ankle deep water. Not really an issue, but should be noticed.

We were really surprised that it was only a 1 star hotel.

We were happy with breakfast. Juice (apple, orange, cranberry) and water dispenser. Bagels with butter or jam. Hard Boiled eggs. Bread with a toaster. Also had a duel waffle iron that when followed directions that were posted made a great filling meal.

Were only 5 miles from the Alderwood mall, Northgate Mall was also just down the I5 and 20 minutes south on Hwy 99 was the downtown core of Seattle. When leaving on Sunday, the Seattle Premium Outlets were only 20 minutes north.

Would we be back - Yes.

I satyed at this hotel on a visit to Seattle to see a game and to visit a buddy that moved to the area a few years ago. I was really impressed with this hotel cleaniness compared to how old it is. The hotel furniture and ammenities are older, but well in order and CLEAN. The front desk is pretty helpful as well as the housekeepers. A subway is located next door as well as a few other stores. It is located within a couple of miles of I-5 so easy access to the city or up North to Everrett. It felt pretty safe but does't appear to be from looking at it. The security of the door wasn't perfect and there is no door chain only a dead bolt. I would recommend this hotel for someone who is looking for clean and affordable. There is a standard continental breakfast (cereal, juices, danishes, waffles, coffee). They have cable with HBO, but the signal wasn't the best. The Wi-Fi worked pretty decent and there are a couple of desktop computers to use in the lobby.

This hotel was easy to find, check in was easy and the room was clean and functional. The breakfast was good with lots of choices. We had no problems and would recommend for anyone looking for a clean cheap place to stay that is about 20 mins from downtown Seattle.

We stayed here for 2 days, it was very quiet and has tons of food options close by. Though we were in the back corner and upstairs. They were in the process of adding new furniture and lights to all there rooms, of course they didn't get to our room yet. The neighborhood isn't the greatest but all in all I enjoyed our stay. OH YEAH, best thing about this motel is if you plan on taking the ferry its only 6 mins away!
