I've stayed here twice in the last year and I loved it both times. The location is spectacular (within walking distance of the space needle, shopping, and the light rail) and the staff is always helpful. Also there is a bar & grill on-site which is wonderfully convenient. The room I had most recently was much nicer than the room I had a year ago, which was a great surprise.They're making improvements as needed.

the first time we stayed here it was just for 1 night and it was a super cheap rate.
but after that, we discovered what a great location it is, and that it is clean and the service is great.

we've now stayed here 4 times over the past 2 years, and the most recent stay was during christmas last month.

i got a great rate off the facebook page, and we stayed for 2 nights with another couple.
the rooms are spacious and simple, but clean.
the beds aren't as plush and fancy as other hotels, but the sheets and blankets and pillows are clean and smell nice.

you get what you pay for... and at the sixth avenue inn, you definitely get your money's worth.

Very shady place! I cannot recommend this hotel at all. My room door did not lock properly, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting and dirty upon my arrival, the elevator got stuck several times during my stay (and of course had no inspection sticker whatsoever) and when I asked them to call me a taxi cab to the airport, a car arrived that was not labeled as a taxi, had no meter in it, the driver had no id, taxi license, or permit but still tried to charge me $5 more for a trip to the airport than the local yellow cabs. I booked the room to avoid the high costs of the conference hotels nearby, but I will never make this mistake again. Even their cheap rates were overpriced for the rooms and service they offer.

Clean and quiet. Supermarket, drugstore and shopping malls within a five minute walk. Walk 2or 3 blocks and there is free transit during day time, which gives convenient access to Seattle center, pike market and international district, just to name a few. Friendly and helpful staff. Eco friendly shampoo, soap and lotion dispensers. Rooms and bathrooms are small but the beds are big and comfy. Great choice if you want to explore the city by walking and public transit!
