Fully gated, felt safe, dodgy area, very friendly

Sliding full height gate closes off rooms and parking area. Would not have stayed without that as it's definitely a dodgier road. Super friendly staff. Notices about no prostitution or drugs. Despite that, we felt safe (if on guard) as two women. Clean, comfortable, quiet room.

Stay again

Hotel is old but clean and functional. Bring your own hair dryer, kleenex and shampoo. Check-in staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Not the best area of town, but security at the hotel was great.

Diamond in the Rough

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The area wasn't the greatest, but I felt nothing but safe in the gated compound and I had no worries leaving my vehicle unattended in the parking lot during the day. Will definitely be back!

Good value

The motel isn't in a great area, but it's family fun by very nice people, and the rooms are clean, updated, and comfortable. There is a security gate that closes at night. For the value I recommend it.

Simple and no frills. Great value.

Pretty safe and clean for a motel. Comfortable. Gated parking available. Very pleased with the friendly service. Easy check in and check out process. Wish there were more surfaces or hooks to store things or place things, especially in the washroom. Overall very happy with the stay. Would stay here again for my next trip to Seattle.

Staff were really friendly and the check in/out process was seamless! Room was also neat and tidy, bed was comfortable. The only suggestion i would make is to have a sink top, as there was nowhere to put my travel toiletries bag.
