I arrived WAYYY past check in hours (5 AM) after a long drive. The office was closed, but I gave the owner a call and she happily opened the doors and welcomed me in so I could sleep for a few hours before continuing my road trip. AMAZING service, gated parking lot, and a really clean room with a big bed. Would totally stay here again. Cheap price doesn’t always mean cheap service ❤️

Wonderful and Affordable
This motel is a hidden gem - clean with an incredibly comfortable bed. It is the only motel with a secure, gated entrance lot in the area. The parking lot is small yet has enough space and is brightly lit. Staff is super friendly. The owners really made this place shine for the location and affordability. Had to write a review with praise.

The customer service is excellent and they were very accommodating. We came into town earlier than expected and they allowed us to check in early with no extra charge. The area isn’t the best but we felt safe. The room was clean and smelt nice. My only complaint is the room had no outlets! The bathroom had no outlets. There were two outlets next to the bed with the lamps but no Mirror. It made getting ready more difficult.

I don't often give reviews, but will for Best Motel. My husband had surgery at UW Northwest Hospital. We needed something close and the location was perfect. The building was older, but has been remodeled and very clean. The staff was very helpful and any minor issue was promptly dealt with. As i was alone, the security was very appreciated and i felt safe both in the room and with my car in the parking lot. The beds were very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay here in the future.
