“Do not recommend this motel. Booking.com shouldn’t even offer this motel.”
Location is not safe and it is in a shady area. We arrived late to check in and drove through the street where the hookers standing on both side of street. Drape polyester kind of sheet was used over the bed. The night person was hostile and gave us attitude when we asked for regular bed sheet. He walked in the room and yanked the sheet out of the bed. Finally, we got to sleep and around midnight loud shouting and conversation started outside in addition to water dripping sound. Worst experience ever, never going to book from bookings.com We didn’t feel safe to stay for the second night and when we brought up the issues to motel staff we got hostile attitude in respond. Bookings.com couldn’t handle the situation for refund for second night so we just left for our peace of mind and safety. Absolutely don’t recommend this place.

I have stayed here twice now while working in Seattle. I'm by myself and feel very safe, with no problems at all. Check-in was easy, and the front desk folks are so nice. This is a hidden gem!

“It is a clean, minimal place to stay, which is what I wanted.”
What I needed to do was in Ballard, so for me the location was good.

“Enjoyed our stay”
This property is an about 45 mins to Downtown but it’s very good value. The rooms were very clean and the beds were superb. The staff were so helpful and really friendly. The location isn’t great but the gates are locked every night and it’s safe and secure.

“Good place to stay for a weekend trip”
Motel was clean, the room was big enough and the amenities confortable. The parking is secured so you can leave your car no problem. The staff was nice and efficient. A few restaurants or fast food options to have breakfast nearby.

“Great Motel for a couple of nights. Clean and safe.”
I liked the facilities, they look renewed and well-maintained despite not being a new building. The staff was amicable and kind, including a lady who seemed to be coordinating the housekeeping activities which is as beautiful as lovely. Thanks for taking care of the guests. They even have a gate at the parking lot that makes all guests feel very safe.

Affordable rate for a hotel in Seattle! Convenient location to transit. Just an FYI, not the nicest area in Seattle.
