you get what you pay for
as a healthily grounding break from big business hotel chains, i crashed in the king's inn in seattle.
and what can i say: it reflects its price.
looking more like a motel than a hotel (or an inn, for that matters), the beds could be less worn through, the shower is made for pygmies and has fluctuating temperatures, and their amenities are vending machines. no service whatsoever, bored students at the front desk watching TV.
unfortunately, it comes with the price that cheapsters, backpackers and college kids stay there as well, which can be loud at night (obviously not the hotel's fault, just a fact). i wouldn't bring a family either, it's not exaclty kids friendly.
upside: dead cheap (for seattle anyway), close to a lot of things, clean, amazingly quick room cleaning service, and most important: free wifi throughout which is actually kinda fast.
