Overall we had a great stay. Plusses included the continental breakfast with muffins, bagels, fresh fruit, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee and tea, the pleasant staff, the housekeeping service and most of all, the value. We needed to stay in West Seattle, and this is the only hotel in the area. We had read some of old reviews and were a bit concerned, but we didn't need to worry. It has been recently redecorated. The furnishings are spartan, but it's got just about everything you need. Ours was a long stay, so my wife fussed they didn't have a dresser for storing flat clothes, but they say they are going to add those, soon. When we stay in Seattle, we usually stay in the North end to be close to family members, but I will consider coming back. It's not so close, but the value and the accomodations are much better.

My friend and I needed a room to stay in West Seattle this was the only option and I was a little reluctant. We booked the room because it was in walking distance for a birthday party. The room was huge!!! We stayed in a king suite and itwas bigger than most1 bed apartments. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The heat is controlled with controls for baseboard heaters, that was difficult to control the temperature. We opened the window to try and cool the room down but struggled with some noise outside.

The bathroom is large enough for 2 to be in comfortably. Kitchen area and living room huge. Nice pullout couch and flat panel tv. Coffee maker and microwave in kitchen area.

The staff at checkin was great aNd the process was quick. The Inn has plenty of private parking.

Overall, I would recommend for the price and location.

Went in December to visit our daughter for Christmas. Much nicer than in the past. I love the new improvements. We did not have a problem with our heater our room was very warm infact we had to turn it down which made it perfect for us. Very clean and maid service was great.. I like the fact there is a Refrigerator and Coffee maker. I do wish they came with a small microwave. We just were their to sleep and that we did very well. Have been coming here for the last 2 years and I was pleasantly surprised with the improvements. I will be back for sure..

We've gone back to visit our daughter and family a couple more times during the cold winter months and I'm afraid I need to revise my rating. In early November, we turned the heater on upon arriving at about 10pm but after about 30 minutes without noticeable change, we called the front desk. Their comment was that "it takes about an hour to warm up." We did at least notice the register getting warmer so put our coats on the bed and, by the time we woke up, the room - which was a double - was warm.
We were there again the next month - new grandbaby! - and wanted to try a King room. This time, as we were driving up at night from Oregon, when we were about an hour away we called and asked them to turn on the heat in our room. Which they did.
The register was a little warm when we got into the room but the King room was much larger to heat and had a large window along one wall. We again put coats on the bed, the room never really warmed up and my husband says he's felt cold ever since.
The rooms were still clean, the staff helpful and the rates very reasonable. HOWEVER, if you're there in the winter try staying in a smaller room and call ahead to get the heat turned on if you're arriving late.
There should at least be blankets in the rooms. And why couldn't they turn the heat on at a minimal temperature for the rooms that are rented?
This is still the only decent hotel in West Seattle, which is a great location to both the airport and downtown. Despite these experiences, we'll go back. I hope they'll continue to make improvements.
