“Made it out alive!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2009

As a young adult visiting Seattle for the first time, my girlfriend and I entrusted a local friend to make a hotel reservation for us. Well, this is the place he selected for us. As soon as we got to the room, my girlfriend declared that she would rather sleep in the rental car. Seriously, it was that bad. Even though we stayed in the room for less than 10 minutes before we decided to drive to another hotel, the front desk agent refused to refund my credit card. I told her I guaranteed her that I would dispute the charge with Visa if it showed up on the bill. She then decided to process a refund but cursed me out for a solid 3 minutes while doing it. This place should be burned to the ground.

“Not a place for children.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2009

Rooms are poorly cleaned, infested with drug addicts, noisy, people knocking on doors all night long. A whole lot of maintenance issues that should be addressed. but price wise, i suppose if you keep your curtains closed and do not try to meet anyone around here, you should be okay.

  • Liked — Wi-Fi
  • Disliked — Noisy comings and goings.

“Try another place first”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2008

My boyfriend and I checked this place out since the area had some decent restaurants and we were so tired and hungry.
OMG, what a disaster, this place made my skin crawl. It was one of those situations where we had to literally grit our teeth and bear it, foolish enough to think things might improve.

This place is more like a housing project than a motel. On my way to get something out of my car I was approached for drugs.
The bed sheets had a grayish color (hopefully it was because
they were bleached too often, I can live with that.....) The carpet was so disgusting I wore my shoes the entire time....

We should have just slept in our car

“Nasty”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2007

person found this review helpful

As I write this I am staying at the Black Angus. I am a resident of Seattle, in between apt's, and I heard this was a inexpensive place. There is a reason. this place is mainly for people in transition. There are a lot of homeless here caught in the trap of making just enough money to stay here, never enough to get ahead, and I think the Management counts on this. The whole motel is dilapidated. On travel sites they advertise coffee in every room-there isn't even any in the lobby/office. Your lucky if there is soap and tp. The buttons on my phone don't work, and I have been listening to them banging-"fixing the stairs", for the last 3 hours-It is 730pm. The manager was unapologetic and said they could do repairs until 8pm, he had no answer when I said they had all day to do the stairs-they started fixing them at 4pm.
There is also a lot of noisy children, though not their fault-they LIVE here.
I would suggest a hostel or a tent before I recommend staying here.

“Run down and poor value”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2005
2
people found this review helpful

Stained carpets, broken doors, cigarette holes in bed blankets, poor noise insulation, no ventilation system, outdoor walls stained. Staff was friendly and helpful, however. Shampoo not provided in rooms. For $20 more in the same neighborhood, one can find clean, well-maintained rooms and complimentary breakfast. Poor value for the money.
