I should have known better.................
I had to make what what I had hoped to be a very quick, same day turn around trip to Seatac to meet up with a business aquaintence, but as is often the case, the timing did not work out so smoothly, and I was forced to stay an extra 16 hours before my return flight to the east coast, so i went shopping for a reasonable place to shower and get a few hours sleep, with airport shuttle, and this was unfortunately my pick. Now lets fast forward to the hotel experience...........wow.........as the driver got closer to the hotel, I crossed my fingers in hopes that the seedy neighborhood we were driving though was no where near the hotel.......but as luck would have it...............it was right there...........all within plain view of the hotel were what I was quite sure hookers and drug dealers plying their trade in the open.
Upon entering the hotel reception area, and within moments after speaking with the very hard to understand clerk, my 'this is all wrong' intuition was kicking into hyperdrive. I asked to see the room before I handed over my credit card, and thank goodness I did............OMG! Dirty, nasty, unsafe, are just a few descriptive words that came to mind about the whole property..............I was out of there..........it seemed to be no big deal to the clerk when I informed him that the facility wasn't going to work for my needs ( yeah, like a safe, quiet, and clean bed, etc) 
I got a ride back to the airport and made other arrangements with Doubletree much closer, and definately much cleaner, safer, etc. and about the same price. No way would I recommend this travelodge to anyone, especially single females, or families. Yuck-oh! My hand sanitizer sure came in handy that day!
