I searched this Motel under "Value" to write a review then figured out that you have to Search "Valu" Inn or you get a different place who unfortunately my wife called when we were waiting for our airport pickup so that our wait was a little longer than it should have been but that is only our fault. Even then... More

Do not stay here for any reason! We checked in late(1am) with both our mom's and our four children. Got two keys and the grandmas were putting kids to bed after a long flight. The front desk attendant wanted ID for every adult! I said I wasn't going to go up and get everyone's ID. How stupid. Not his fault,... More

We spent one night there. For me, this was the first and last night in this hotel. We were 3 adults and booked a room with 2 Queen size beds. The lady at the reception gave us a room with only one bed. At least we were able to get another room with 2 beds after 10 minutes. The receptionist... More

The room was clean altho the motel is very old. The front desk help was new and slow but partly because of a mixup over a car. My problem is we were gone for over 3 weeks and during that time someone left the passenger window down. The seat and owners manual in the door were soaked. I didn't note... More

I would give this a 2 1/2. Old TV, a literal chip of soap and no other amenities. The alleged continental breakfast was not worth the trip down the stairs to the office - if that's orange juice, I'll eat my hat. On the up side, it's not too far from the city center and of course the airport. The... More

I frequented this hotel for years and was satisfied with the value for money. I noticed a change two years ago. I have been told the hotel changed owners. I doubt the new owners have invested any money in the hotel. Staff turn over is constant and service is variable. This last trip they lost my reservation and put me... More

The sheets had burn marks and holes in them. We requested a nonsmoking room and it smelled of smoke. The beds were very uncomfortable and the bathroom door had green marker all over it. The bathroom door lock was broken and the deadbolt to the main door was too. The neighborhood was scarey with a lot of unsavory characters around... More

Low price, good for a late check in when you are flying out the next morning. Front desk staff was very friendly, as was the shuttle driver. Shuttle is sort of tacky, it is a passenger van with dents in the side with the hotel name written on the window by hand. Our room was on the first floor and... More

I stayed here for 3 days at the tail end of a cross-country driving trip into Seattle. All the motels 'up the road' were either dumps or were over $200 per night. The rate here was very reasonable and the accommodations were modest and reasonably well-kept. The front-desk staff was always courteous and pretty knowledgeable about the area. Make no... More
