Exactly what you need, nothing more. Quiet, comfortable, clean enough, and safe feeling. The bar around the corner stays open late, and beautiful sunset views are just a quick stroll down the road. Saves you a couple hundred bucks vs staying in Seattle proper, but you’re just a quick 30min out.

Nice small hotel. Good location to family. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Very quiet for sleeping. Room was clean, but carpet was filthy. I walked barefoot for a few minutes, and the bottoms of my feet were black. Please shampoo the carpets. Staff is rather indifferent.

The room provided everything we needed... not anything extra. Clean room, clean bathroom. The coffee maker was slow but adequate. The need was comfortable. Towels are pretty thin but adequate. Lots of room in the paint lot.
