"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"

How Do We Define Motel?
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.
