Mom& son 1 night concert trip
Great for a one night affordable place to lay head. But unless you’re the type who has hot flashes, you might get quite the chill. Had no heat in my room. They were renovating, so I wasn’t too upset. Staff was very friendly & shower water was hot atleast.

I flew into Seattle late at night and the staff helped me find the easiest way to the hotel from the airport without taking an Uber. The room was your basic cheap hotel but it was warm, dry and clean. The staff is above and beyond any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. If you’re looking for cheap and friendly this is your place!

It was exactly what we needed, close enough to the city for easy access but far enough away we didn’t get the noise of the city
