Parking was secure. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. Even though it is in a bit of dodgy area, we as 4 females travelling, all felt safe. The staff are also extremely approachable. The room was clean, and pretty quiet, with great blackout curtains, and comfortable beds. Would happily recommend this motel.

Truly an oasis - impeccably maintained. The staff were kind, the rooms were comfortable and super clean - not that off-putting, bleach smelling clean but a more authentic, scrubbed down kind of clean. Will most def stay again.

Worth every dollar spent!

While the location is a little suspect, the hotel property is secure, super clean and the staff/family who runs it are friendly, considerate and courteous! The bed was very comfortable, we had the king size bed room. For the money spent, it was superb! Plus, it was near the NW Hospital which was critical for our Seattle visit.

The motel is clean, attractive, safe, and quiet. It’s Shanghai in a “shady” area of town. The staff is super nice and helpful! The rooms are clean and well stocked with toilet paper and towels. The bed is comfortable. I recommend this motel to all!
