My Sister & I travelled America for a month and really needed to save some cash on hotels for petrol & food, so out of the 18 places we visited we stayed at 13 Motel 6's.
Firstly, the hotel is so easy to find - we did most of our trip using simple Google map directions and the location of this Motel 6 is ideal.
The hotel is located 3 minutes from Seattle TAC Airport, we arrived at 8pm after a long 14 hour journey (one stop off) from London Heathrow, so we were tired and suffering with the 8 hour time difference.
The hotel on arrival was average, a large car park and a motel looking exterior - whilst checking in I found the receptionist on the desk to be a little rude but being so exhausted and American/English service being different - I would only put this down to cultural difference rather than actual rudeness.
The room itself is very basic but clean, do not expect any cooking facilities or a kettle. Motel 6 is very basic, coffee is served until 10:30am from reception but that is it. They're vending machines and the such in the motel service room with a can of coke being roughly $1.
Our bathroom was a little dirty, a floor mat was hung over the bathroom door which appeared to be dripping a brown substance from it - which was still damp.
Having stayed in so many Motel 6's in the last month whilst travelling America, almost all Motel 6's are the same and Seattle wasn't at all different from many of the places we stayed however the Motel itself could do with a little updating, yet if you're on a cheap budget and only plan to sleep in the room whilst visiting - I recommend this hotel.
It's location to the airport is ideal but you must have a hire vehicle if you plan on visiting downtown or anywhere other than the small sparce strip the Motel is located on.
Also, I'd advise you to not park anywhere near the hotel entrance or exits - our hire vehicle was hit from behind during a hit and run incident during the evening, although the reception area is manned 24 hours and most Motel 6's have security on site, our vehicle was parked by a very large floor to roof window in front of the reception area yet police were not informed until the morning hours when my Sister & I actually saw the damage and shunted vehicle.
I gather reception staff will not take any responsibility for accidents or incidents and inform the police although reports of the accident were told to the staff from other hotel guests and the incident itself was apparently extremely loud.
CCTV does not watch the carpark, only the office.
Room Tip: Ask for top floor, ceilings very thin.
