    If all you need is a place to sleep on a tight budget, this motel is fine.

    The room smelled old and musty, like the carpet hadn't dried between shampoos. I didn't notice it after a couple of hours but I think it would benefit from a thorough airing out. There are a LOT of homeless people in this area. I was a pedestrian on this visit and really did not feel comfortable walking alone outside.

    The price was good and honestly, when I travel, all I want is a quiet place to sleep at night with a tv, and a clean bathroom for bathing or showering. I knew this motel was right on the highway but it was surprisingly not noisy at night and I was able to sleep well. They offer an excellent selection of pastries, cereals, yogurts, fruits, and beverages for the continental breakfast.

    The train! Blew its whistle all nite. Strong odor of clorax.

    A room was available. It was semi close to the fairgrounds.

    The TV and the internet didn't work. Plus there was a large gap between the door and the floor, letting in light and cold.

    Felt a little dangerous. At one point during the stay, someone (maybe the owner or maybe just another guest) used a fish depth finder to essentially spy on us in our room...the sound it made was earsplitting, nauseating, and very unsettling.

    Great shower pressure...convenient location

    No TV in the room. Curtains weren't operational and I had to work to get them closed. No coffee pot in room. Sheets were peeling. Room needs an overhaul and deep clean.

    The young man at check in was very friendly, pleasant and accommodating. He gets 5 stars for his professionalism. Bed was firm...which is good after a long day of standing.

    The room had a very strong odor. They spray something on the filter in the heater to make the room “smell good” but it wasn’t a pleasant smell. Went to bed and woke up with a headache from the smell. Also they tried to charge me again for the room after I had already paid through Booking.com. Then wanted me to contact booking for a refund when the price they changed was higher.

    It was convenient, close to stores and dining.

    The front desk clerk obviously hates his job. Forced me to accept the "no smoking" waiver before I could even read it and told me to "just sign it."

    Was reasonably priced and in a close location to our event. Was reasonably clean, outdated and not super fancy. But it wasn't gross either.

    Breakfast was as advertised, desk person very nice.

    It is a motel beyond its prime. It was a pretty good effort in paint. The breakfast was as advertised, continental plus. It was Not as bad as reviews. it did seem to attract a lesser clientele. It probably is a case of getting what we paid for. We were prepared for a less attractive place but we paid $50 less per night... as long as the room was clean, which it was. A few trains but did not bother us. We were on the highway side which was much more noise at times.

    The rooms on the back of the hotel are subject to frequent loud train noise. The train passes at full speed at the edge of the parking lot.

    The location worked perfectly after a day in Seattle and heading east in the morning.

    One room still has food in the fridge.. one room’s shower was not clean, there was hair in it. The internet didn’t work/connect in one room.. there was no password information in the other room. The water pressure left something to be desired

    The location was fantastic. Easy to find and great distance to anything we needed, shopping and food. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They were happy to get us an extra towel and pillow.

    The property is fine except the constant noise from either the people that live in the motel, the guy working on cutting metal for his RV he is repairing until 11pm or the fright trains that run on the backside of the motel. The room was fine except the fridge was broken so I had to get ice and a cooler from Fred Meyer for my food and drinks.
