Hotel staff was doing nothing about the prostitution going on in theirmidst. Someone reported a drug deal and the staff was only concerned about their money! The carpets were disgusting, beds not made and room with fore hazards! The trash was not removed nor was the bathroom cleaned. Onkaar the owner allows convicts to work for him and let's his... More

They print a bill when you walk in and quoted a price, then they want to copy your card. They said it was for extras. The next morning the orginal bill cannot be found and they print a new one on the copy with your credit card on it and add things like a safe charge. The price for the... More

We have traveled all over the world and this was the worst hotel room I have ever experienced. They first put us in a room with one queen bed for the four of us and we were told that they only have a smoking room we tried it and the smell was so bad it was choking. There was also... More

definately the prices are low, the rooms and services are also ok types, the facilities are fine, if you are staying for one night then its god to take a chance, for the complementary breakfast there you need to reach there at 8:00 clock after that you will get nothing.

The area the hotel is located in is so-so. The only other issue was that the water wouldn't work during the day, after 10am until about 2 or 3pm. I assume this is due to the motel doing laundry, but the front desk said that this shouldn't be the case. However, everything else was great. The staff were friendly and... More

Do not stay at this hotel if you want to enjoy your stay and feel safe. I can see why I got such cheap rates. The cops came to the hotel multiple times every day. The cab driver from the airport felt bad that I was staying at this hotel. I was woken up multiple times every night by the... More

This hotel is far away from Seattle for a tourist. The location is safe, but there is not much around. There is a shopping center (Kent Station) with a movie theater and restaurants about a 30-minute walk away (or short bus ride). The free Internet was reliable and stable, but you do have to logon again after a certain amount... More

I stayed at the Howard Johnson Kent, Wa May 11 to May 15 2010. The room was not fancy, but clean and the bed was very comfortable. However, on the last day of my stay, the water was ice cold and so I was unable to take a shower. Not good. I did not try to take my shower until... More

I am in my room right now as I am writing this review. I don't normally write reviews but after the recommendation I received from a friend to stay here, and after reading the negative review left for this hotel in August, I had mixed feelings!
