“Ok on a budget”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I had read some good things and some scary things about this place. Upon our arrival, we noted there was a vacant hotel across the street. Itwas covered in graffiti. We had some concerns whether our car would be safe.
The guy working the front desk was freindly and helpful. He was quick with our reservations and had good knowledge of the area. The room we had was clean but smelled a little funky. Lucky it was a nice day and we could open up the windows and let it air out. After that it was tolerable.
The location was close to bus stops and not far the the Fremont district. You could walk there but be advised, the walk back is uphill.
If I find myself in Seattle again and need a cheap place to stay, since no one tagged my car, this will do.

Room Tip: For the best rate, book in advance.

“Cheap and convenient...but super loud”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2011

This is a difficult one to review because the price and location were both right, but each night we stayed there were parties going on until 3 am and we barely slept. I thought the managers might say something, but nothing. I was a bit surprised they were put next to us since there didn't seem to be many people staying in the hotel. IFFFFF there weren't those parties and I was able to sleep at night, I would give it a much higher rating since the price was great, easy access to downtown, but more importantly easy access to Fremont and RoRo BBQ... ;)

“Low cost and convenient place to stay in Seattle”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

Older motel, probably from 60s, but great place to stay if you're looking for a friendly and convenient place to stay in Seattle. Easy drive to downtown. Within walking distance of Fremont neighborhood. Easy to get to I-5. All in all a great place to stay if you want to be in the city and very good rates.

“If you're looking for a cheap place to...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

If you're looking for a cheap place to stay within Seattle city limits, this should be on your list. It is a bridge away from downtown Seattle and the universities so while travel time to all the fun things in Seattle is short, you do need to contend with the city's crazy streets. It's located on WA-99 so easy access to the 5 and 405. Plenty of free parking and coffee till 11 so yay for those things. Again, cheap place in Seattle and this should be on your list.

“Run away fast from this one boys and girls”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

people found this review helpful

I searched this one on Trip Advisor and gave it a shot. Bad decision. We pulled in late, after 11. Parked, unloaded and went to bed. Room was very old looking but tidy enough. A strange smell which we never did identify punctuated our stay. I got up early, as i usually do, and went out for a walk to find a coffee and just scout around a bit. Wow. Across the street, almost like a bad movie; very run down motel, old white rag top Caddy in the lot with two other old Caddies parked as well. Two very obvious street walkers were out selling what their momma gave them and a guy came out of one of the rooms and yelled, and I quote", Get your a#$ back in here right now B*&^h!". This was 30 seconds into my walk. I was solicited twice in my short, unsuccessful walk to find a coffee, one for sex, the other a soft attempt to try and rob me. I walked back and booked the Space Needle Travellodge for almost the same price at 730 am; when I told them where I was, the lady said," OMG, get out of there, we will find you something immediately". Run, don't walk away from this one.
