Rooms are affordable, in a convenient location, and staff is always friendly and helpful. We always stay at the Marco when in Seattle.
It is a very basic motel, but clean rooms and friendly staff. More than enough to spend the night before our cruise. There are nice restaurants within a short walking distance. The area is very quiet and the bus stop is just a couple of blocks away.
The staff was very polite and helpful. The room and bathroom very clean. The decor was really nice too. I would stop there again.

Ok if you are just staying one night for cheap pri
Front desk staff was friendly and helpful upon check in. However, arriving back to room after spending time in Seattle we discovered the air conditioning was not working, that staff member was rude and claimed there was nothing he could do about it. He came to room and wiggled the button, cold air worked for about 5 minutes. He had already claimed there was notjing else he could do so we just endured the terribly hot room till morning. Road out front is extremely busy. Entire room is very dated.
The staff was particularly accommodating and able to give us good service in answering questions and giving us help based on their knowledge of the area and what our needs were. Our stay was pleasant and we were pleased with the accommodations. If needed, we would definitely consider staying at the Marco Polo again.
The staff was very accommodating and helped us out with questions we had. It was also close enough to our cruise terminal so was convenient for us to catch a ride quickly. Our room was comfortable and we appreciated the amenities of refrigeration and microwave. The only things that were a bit "uncomfortable" were 1) traffic noise 2) quite a walk to any eating establishments or markets, but that had nothing to do with your establishment's condition or service. All-in-all, we appreciated having the accommodations be clean and in good standing. Thank you.
The staff here are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is good. It’s a super basic motel, but everything was clean and the location was great for walking to Fremont or Wallingford.
