"Good experience. The E line bus dropped me off right in front of the motel. Stay here.2019-06-27"
"Not a good value. I could hear street noise at night, and one of the windows was broken. There were holes in the wall. No phone book. Someone called about my son smoking in the car, and the front desk clerk told him he had to go inside because he was creepy. Don't stay at this motel.2016-04-30"
"This motel beat paying for a high-priced downtown hotel. The room was clean and quiet, with good amenities. A $20 cab ride to the heart of the city, and you can't even park downtown for that.2015-08-04"
"The hotel room was clean, and everything worked. The beds were comfortable. Just had to turn in the keys at checkout. Breakfast could've been better. Book it.2022-09-01"
"The hotel was older, but it was cheap and worked fine. Good location. The TV didn't work at all, and one room light didn't work. The one good employee couldn't leave the front desk to assist. There was a McDonald's 3 blocks away.2021-10-29"
"The hotel was certainly adequate for the price, and the staff was outstanding.2020-06-21"

"My family had a comfortable stay at this hotel. Our 2-bedroom suite slept 6; it was like having an apartment, with a living room, 2 TVs, 2 bathrooms, and a small, fully-equipped kitchen. The staff was accommodating, and we were able to store our luggage until our cruise later in the afternoon. Breakfast was a plus.2016-09-01"

"Footsteps woke us up in the middle of the night. The hotel elevator was out of service. No restaurant.2022-09-21"

"This hotel is perfect. Book it.2018-09-13"
"Just a short distance from restaurants, McMenamins, and the Seattle Center. The handicap room was great, and the bed was comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the espresso and snack bar, fireside lounge, pool, and workout room. We would definitely stay here again.2018-06-09"

"Good hotel overall, but the room rate seemed high. The room was clean and efficient. The bathroom light went off on its own at strange times, including when I was taking a shower. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was good. The soda vending machine took my money and didn't give me the product I'd selected. I recommend staying here.2022-09-09"

"Perfect location if you're taking a cruise. The room was clean and modern, and the hotel staff was representative of the diversity and culture of Seattle. I loved eating breakfast at Biscuit Bitch. Ask for a room with a clear view or you may have a view of the building next door.2017-09-10"
"The hotel was under construction and was a mess. The street noise was really bad, and outdoor lights glared in the windows. Not worth the price.2016-07-21"
"In the summer, the hotel room choices are either very hot but quiet, or very loud but cooler. Don't recommend.2015-08-10"
"Great front desk service; the clerks offered friendly conversation and personal advice. The breakfast food was surprisingly good, and it was great having coffee and tea available 24 hours a day. There were restaurants within walking distance. Ask for a room on the Space Needle side for fun views.2019-07-23"

"Convenient to Seattle Center, but the area was sketchy after dark. Seemed overpriced. The room was fine but absolutely nothing special. It was small, and the sofa bed mattress was flimsy. We were disappointed that the hotel pool was closed for renovations. The cafe was partially closed.2017-07-20"

"I enjoyed my stay. I was at first daunted by having to make the bed, but then realized I could just wrap up like a burrito in the fluffy duvet. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable, and the room was so clean that I walked around barefoot. Don't let the locked gate of the garage discourage you; it's one of many safety features I appreciated.2023-02-19"
"Walk to restaurants, stores, and the University of Washington. About a 30-minute commute to downtown. The room was clean and well-maintained. It was simple yet had a hip vibe. My room was near the elevator, but noise wasn't an issue at all. Friendly, helpful staff. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.2017-10-31"
"This was the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed in, and it was quiet at night. The room was comfortable, and the bed was amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay nice, and we loved the cupcakes at the happy hour. Enjoy.2016-08-25"

To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
