I picked this location because it was the inexpensive compared to anything in downtown Seattle. I just needed a place to lay my head after a concert at El Corazon, not wanting to drive back to British Columbia the same night. The room was spacious - couch and television, plus fridge, etc. I could tell they were behind in their deep cleaning of the bathrooms, or, had given up trying to remove the DEEP stains and grime. Either way, didn't bother me but may bother others. I still give it 5 out of 5 thumbs up, based on price. The parking lot was safe -- it is gated. I didn't know why it needed to be gated until the next morning when I drove down a wrong street and found this was a rough area. But, again, I had no idea about that from staying at this place. It's hard to find anywhere worth staying for this price point anymore. Would recommend for almost any situation.
