location, location
A returned trip found this Travelodge essentially unchanged, but comfortable. Its main attraction for us is its location, one of the closest to the University of Washington and across the street from the University Village mall, which has good shopping and a number of restaurants. It is down the block from an Azteca restaurant as well. The Burke-Gilman trail -- for jogging, biking or hiking -- is minutes away, providing recreation through the middle of town in this area. A bus stop is immediately adjacent. The motel itself has adequate, clean but not exceptional rooms, comfortable beds and an average bathroom. The staff is business-like if not warm, but efficient. The small parking lot has just enough free space. The complimentary breakfast is just okay, with make-your-own waffles and minimal other basic items in a room that is too small during the busy hours. A computer is available, but has a $3.50 minimal use charge; WiFi works in the rooms, however. We'd stay again, primarily because of the location and because of the moderate (for Seattle, not low overall) room cost.
