I booked this hotel based on the pictures and the reviews about how clean and safe this hotel is. Later I realized it was right on Hwy 99 and when I had lived in Seattle about 10 years ago, hotels on 99 were known to be a little shady. BUT when I drove up, I knew this was a great find. It is an older hotel so my room was small and you could hear footsteps from upstairs—but the hotel was clean, redone and decorated nicely, and I was delighted. You do have to ask for ice, but that’s no big deal. Quite a few people were staying here, too. I didn't need a pool or a hotel bar—I needed clean, safe, and well priced. Perfect.
