El Centro de la Raza

This hotel is a gem. It’s perfect for the low-maintenance traveler that just wants a clean room and a friendly staff. I didn’t use the roof deck or the free bikes but it was nice to know they were there if I wanted. The reviews about the homeless population are overblown and likely from people who haven’t been in bigger cities before or who just have a dim view of their fellow humans. Check yourself. Grab a bus pass and live a little. This will be my go-to in Seattle from now on. Great location. Great staff. Clean room. If you need more than that from a reasonably priced hotel, stay at home in Peoria.

The staff were very friendly, quick and helpful. The elevators and hallways had a funky smell to them like burnt plastic but the room itself was odor free and clean. The neighborhood was a bit sketch with homeless fentanyl users camping out across the street.

Was only there for one night but was a great stay
