Good

The motel offers a clean, ordinary, fairly standard motel room. The desk chair and a bench, both with leather seats were a surprise luxe touch.(Don't know if all rooms have such.) No microwave. The motel is right on a highway (crossable only via pedestrian overpass). Almost no stores, groceries, supplies, bars or restaurants within a walk. Only drive or take the bus.
This is a cute, 50s-style motel that is undergoing some updating. It's close to both downtown and the ports by taxi, plus it's one of the more reasonably priced motels/hotels in the area. And the staff is very welcoming. Restaurants are within walking distance and those restaurants are in a beautiful east-coast-type neighborhood. The only down-side is that the motel is right on Aurora, a heavily-traveled roadway.
I stayed there for one night and accidentally lost my wallet there. Daniel found my wallet and was able to hold it until I could have it picked up. Super friendly and I felt good knowing it was in safe hands. I got it back and I’ll be back!
I have to say, the employees make this a nice place to stay. They're kind, friendly and helpful. They were awesome with us and we witnessed the woman at the front desk handle a very difficult man with professionalism and compassion. I'm really impressed. The hotel was clean and you can tell the employees care. The only thing that was rough were the pillows, but for the price and service, I'd stay there again.
Was a great little place to stay. Was there for three nights and will definitely be back. Price is good for Seattle. Quick uber ride to areas that we wanted to go. Tv didn’t work but they quickly swapped it out for a new one. Very friendly service. Love the motel feel and we felt safe in this particular area

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Bathroom was dirty, no maid service for two nights
They were in the process of refurnishing the rooms, which is nice. But even in a budget-priced motel, a working electrical outlet in the bathroom, standard-sized bath towels, a working ice machine, and functional TV reception (only a few channels worked), should be standard amenities.
The location could work for those with a car, but there are no walkable services (dining, coffee houses or marketing/shopping) nearby.
