I stayed at the Marco Polo Motel for about 2 weeks. It was a great stay here! It is very close distance to Downtown Seattle, as well as other Suburban Seattle Places. The Seattle Orca Public Transportation System makes it easy for travel without a car. The room was clean. The room has a good amount of space with a TV, a good bathroom, and WiFi. I would recommend this Motel to anyone that is looking to visit Seattle, WA.

The room was very nice. The room was quite spacious, internet was excellent and very handy to have a microwave oven. Good access to shopping areas, about 400 to 500 metres. The front office staff were outstanding, they were very helpful in organising taxi transfers to the cruise terminal.

Good R&R

Accessibility to restaurants and eateries is a little sketchy, but Marco Polo is very comfortable. Other than road noise, it's fairly quiet. The managers I met were wonderful. I had a good two nights rest. Just what the Dr. ordered.

It is a very basic motel, but clean rooms and friendly staff. More than enough to spend the night before our cruise. There are nice restaurants within a short walking distance. The area is very quiet and the bus stop is just a couple of blocks away.

The staff here are super friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is good. It’s a super basic motel, but everything was clean and the location was great for walking to Fremont or Wallingford.
