Okay, if you want a cheaper hotel
It’s a cold night and I rent a king bed here at this hotel. The room is okay for the price, but the heater didn’t even turn on. So it made this expierence a little uncomfortable. The room was very cold.

So there is no breakfast and no coffee made she just started right before almost 9am in the morning it Should be out sooner. We bought this motel specifically for this accommodation and she failed. Then on top of that they take $100 out of your account on top of the room rate and tell you it won't be back in the account for 5 days. Just rediculous don't waste your time or money it's a dump!!!

No TV that worked
The room eas nice an cozy except the tv didnt work an we couldnt get it to work at all an if we wanted to have a tv that worked we had yo down grade instead of upgrade an the lady at the desk was no help
Was awoken at 5am to police surrounding the property in full riot gear on a megaphone shouting for a room to come out with their hands up! Not a pleasant awakening. The heater/air conditioning unit was leaking a puddle of water all over the floor and there were mouse droppings in the bathroom.

No towels in room when checked in. Just a hand towel. Had to go to the office to get towels.
The staff took a while. When I checked in, systems were down and I had to draw money from an atm for the deposit. $100 cash. And when I checked out, I went to get my deposit back, only $80 was given back so I had to stay a while for her to make all these phone calls. I eventually got my $100 back. But I felt it was just a bit of a mess.
Besides the fact that they charge $50 for early check-in fee the place is really old and kind of run-down like it needs a bad makeover it needs to be remodeled although the breakfast is awesome and makes it for a lot of it but unhappy overall

Sleep in your car and brush your teeth at Denny’s
Large towels were soft enough to use but the washcloths were scratchy and exfoliating. After showering we used the bath mat to walk around on the floor (like a mop) and it was as dirty as if I used it to wash my car. Heater worked well and was quiet, which was good because the blanket was no better than a flannel sheet. The young lady behind the desk was very polite. Breakfast was inedible, the apples were bruised and unappealing which is sad since this is Washington and it is apple season, the coffee was lukewarm, can’t tell you how the waffles and cereal were because I went to Denny’s for breakfast. The parking lot was littered with trash including a razor blade. Definitely needs some maintenance on the exterior. The bathtub was rusty and had mold in the grout. The hair dryer did not work.
Housekeeping shows up every few days. They empty the trash, pick up towels and place a partial set of towels on the desk. Don't vacuum. Don't wipe anything down and DON'T touch the bed. I stayed 5nights and the bed never got changed or made. I had to go to the lobby 3 times to get clean towels.
To start, the service was great. The girl working was very nice. The room however, was not great, there was meth making equipment the previois renter had left behind, under the bed. Not exactly what we wanted a kid around. People were awake making noise all night.you could smell tje drugs in the air. The shower was hot that was nice overall not that great but we were all so tired we were happy to go straight to bed.

I didn’t like finding trash in my room, a remote that didn’t work, a tv with a color problem in the screen, or the uncountable stains in the bed linens. Very disappointed when I go to the continental breakfast to find 3 apples, a do-it-yourself waffle maker, and an apple and oh dispenser. Just say you don’t have breakfast. Or at least get some donuts so I don’t have to cook a waffle. Didn’t much care for the “housekeeping” man by himself with no cart or supplies attempting to barge in after I clearly said I didn’t want any service at that time. Oh, lastly, I had to have my keycard remade 3 times... basically requiring me to check in every day.
I stayed for my whole reservation because I was alone and I have survived wilderness conditions in the past... if I had anyone with me at all, I would have requested a refund and left. I would not only not recommend staying here, I would advise staying ANYWHERE ELSE YOU CAN GO. It’s not worth the seemingly competitive price.

The only thing I like about the hotel is the location. Close to where I needed to be especially the freeway. Staff needs to show good customer service like smiling and be more welcoming from the beginning til the end of stay. The $100 deposit shouldn't take up to 3 days to be refunded back because it was taken out at the time of check in? Why is that?
The free breakfast was waffles and juice. They did not clean the room for 9 days. They did offer clean towels 2 out of 9 days. We had to get towels 7 days. The backside of the motel is fenced in. Everyone had to park there cars in the front so they could keep an eye on them. We will never stay there again. I know now why there wanted to be paid when you check in plus a $100 dollars. The $100 was to keep you from leaving early ($100 was returned)
This place is two steps away from being a dope house.

I stayed for 4 days , Day 1, I put don’t disturb sign so I don’t expect them to clean up my room . But day 2 , I take out the disturb sign so I expect them to clean up my room but when I came back from work , no one clean that up . Day 3 the same thing as day 2 , in the top of that the water at my sink doesn’t work . So for the next time when I’m visiting to Seattle, I won’t be back to that hotel .
Well where do i start, we arrived at the hotel, the little lady there was real nice. When we got to our door you could pretty much just push on the door and open it. 5 minutes into dropping our luggage we were told to shut up by the resident next door. Which we found out that they rent these by the week and month. We were also greeted by unsavory characters smoking something out of a glass pipe on the balcony above. When i went to the desk to ask for another room i was told not to worry about my neightbor as she was old and always complained. There was exposed wires in the suite where it looked like there was a light there before. The tv was basically a wall ornament that did not work. The internet did not work our entire stay. The bathroom was beyond discusting, there was cigarette burn everywhere on the tub and that area. We opened our window at night to realise there was no screen and anyone could of just poked our heads in. The next morning we came across what looks like a chop shop operations going on from a couple doors down. There was now 3 new vehicles being stripped apart in the back of the lot where our room was. Needless to say me and my gf did not feel safe at all and were on edge all night. Please see the pictures we have. This was not a good or safe experience and people renting throught you guys need to be aware that this place is really sketchy.
La camera non era affatto pulita, ancor peggio il bagno sporco e pure le lenzuola.
Ho richiesto il cambio della stanza e me ne hanno assegnata una con un letto queen invece ho pagato una camera king.
Spero nei prossimi acquisti degli hotels di non prendere piu certe fregature.
The only good thing I have to say is that the toilet is new, despite having hair on the toilet seat.
Fire alarm missing in room, non-smoking room smells like cigarettes, walls covered in yellow tar stains, weird stained box spring, overall dirty and dingy yet they want you to leave between a 50 and 100 dollar deposit to stay there. I spent 80 dollars to not be able to sleep here, I very much regret wasting my money. Especially since the cost to get to and from the airport would have made it the same if I had just stayed in the nicer hotels closer to the airport. I made a mistake please do not make my same mistake. Stay anywhere else.
This place was gross. The bathroom tile grout was black. There is no carpet. The faucet is so hard to pull on and pull off I thought there was no water at first. The room stunk of stale cigarettes. The front staff seemed clueless about how to charge people. I saw several people with the same problem. Waiting to check in was awful since there was only one person working and 4 people waiting while she over charged the guy in front
