Run down, but inexpensive
My family stayed in this hotel for our Seattle trip, since we are on a tight budget. The price was great, $65 a night. I was a bit surprised that they charged for parking, $7 per day. The front desk, housekeeping staff and everyone we interacted with were friendly. Upon entering the elevator, we noticed it was very dirty and smelled of urine and sweat, which was off putting as a first impression. However, the room was clean, although there was a growth of black mold/mildew under the sink, next to the new paint on the trim. The hallways were a bit dingy with a few holes here and there in the drywall. The beds were comfortable though, and there were a few convenience stores nearby. All in all, it was a good crashpad for our stay, and there was plenty of hot water. However, the drab and dingy hallways and gritty neighborhood made me happy to be leaving after two days. Next time we visit Seattle, I'll plan our trip more in advance and pay the extra $$ for a nicer hotel closer to downtown.
