Expedia's information said check in is between 3pm -10pm. I arrived at 9pm only to find the lobby closed and no one on site. After 30 minutes I was able to get someone from OYO on the phone who did not try to problem solve with me--just said they would refund me but had not alternative for a place for me to sleep that night. Then, I heard back from them 2 days later and they refused to refund me. Awful service. Terrible check in policies.

The photographer they hired for the pictures for the room listing understood the assignment. Definitely was a bit more run down than it looked in the photos. Certainly not that bad of a thing. I didn’t expect a ton from a city motel. To sum it up you get what you pay for, and I was happy with what I got for the price.

We were assured 1st floor. The 1st room on ground floor but heater was broken. No other ground floor rooms. No lift/elevator. The next room was on 3rd beds were slept in and dirty towels on floor. 3rd on 3rd floor, only slightly cleaner.
While in lobby after 3rd room, they gave another ground floor room to new people
Sought lodging elsewhere. Still no word or effort towards refunding monies paid enough though didn’t even use any part of room or site.

They were tearing stuff out of the room next to mine, so they were continously banging with hammers until 8am while I was trying to get to sleep early for surgery the next day. The mirror was broken the sink faucet was not screwed down, I had to refasten it myself, but one of the nuts was missing, and a piece of the sink stopper assembly was missing so that didnt' work either.

I found an infestation of cockroaches being a piece of furniture. I went to the front desk and let them know what was on, checked out, and asked if I could get a refund. After speaking to his manager, the front desk told me yes I could. Several days later I hadn’t seen my refund come through so I called and told them what happened and asked about the refund. I was told I wasn’t eligible for one. I explained again about the cockroaches and that I was told I’d be refund and they told me again, my stay was not eligible for a refund.

The Bathtub was leaking constantly. The Fire alarm was nothing but a hole on the wall. The laundry room was constantly flooded. The ice machine did not work. The building still had \"Econolodge\" signage even though this was an OYO property. They shut off our key cards on the day of checkout, at least an hour before we had to check out . The Bathtub was peeling laminate and plastic. The fridge would short out the power in the room whenever it would reactivate. And the general vibe was uncomfortable, with many local businesses sharing with me an my partner about just how bad this motel was according to their customers.

There is no way to phone the front desk. I had tried several times. The auto answer system is designed to confuse caller with unclear message and prompt. The OYO phone system is very bad. The late check in is bad too. You should give traveller grace period to check in earlier. Instead to charge early check in by hours. It is robbery. I reserve my right to complain this online.

This is a budget friendly inn, which is suggested for long-term stays on working trips. The biggest downside is if you work nights, it can be problematic to contact staff, because the office staff doesn't come in until 7AM. If you work graveyard shift and get off at 5:00AM, it really cuts into your sleep time if you have to wait around to pick up your keys.

We drove 3 hours to this hotel for a planned weekend and explore Seattle but only to be turned away upon checking in. The staff said they overbooked and since I’m the last one to booked therefore they have to cancelled my reservation. I made my reservation almost a week prior and not a last minute thing. They did called me at 10pm the night before my booking but did not get hold of me so to our demise informing us that they have to cancel it and cannot do anything else. What else can we do but to go home and drove another 3 hrs. Money will be refunded but the time and effort not to mention the gas we spent. Where’s the accountability on that? Our planned weekend just ruined. So disappointing.

I did not stay at the Inn @ Lake Washington. My flight was delayed for 3 hours. I emailed and messaged the hotel to see if it was going to be a problem with a midnight check in no reply. I called 2 times and was hung up on both times. I then spoke to someone who said she was messaging the hotel herself to the problem and see if they could accommodate me and my late checkin. Never got an answer to any of these messages and so when I arrived no one was there to check me in so I had to drive on and get a hotel further down the road. I don't think I should have to pay for the room since I tried to communicate my issues with them without any answers. This is totally unacceptable. I travel a lot for business and do a lot of reservations with Hotels.com but in the future I will not use your website and I really will never think to stay at an OYO hotel anywhere.

Joseph (front desk person) was very rude. When we came in to check in into 2 rooms he proceeded to tell us the rules and said don’t ruin the linens. Then our friend came in and he yelled at my husband and I for not listening and scolding us like a child. He wanted to know why we were there and how long we would stay. Room was musky. Shower was leaking. Tv didn’t work in either room. Deadbolt was broken. Looked like mold or something was on the ceiling. And no soap. Small pillows. Felt gross to be in there. Was going to stay two nights but couldn’t. We packed up and left the next day. Wouldn’t give us a refund for the next night. Horrible, disgusting and Joseph was incredibly rude. He said they were going to charge us if anything was used. They had a list of how much everything was at the front. Pictured are not the same as online. Breakfast wasn’t offered as advertised.

Staff I ran into are both friendly.
Hotel is rebranded rundown echolodge. You will only see big echolodge sign and a banner with new name, makes you wonder whether you went to wrong place.
Weird they need to id every adult staying.
Expedia description is very not accurate. Room is nothing like the picture. No breakfast, no working pool. Room lamps not working, bathroom looks like having some mold on wall, tap kept dripping. Bathtub is peeling off. Wall is thin. No cup in the room. Has a small fridge, that fits nothing bigger than a can. Also stuff leaves after midnight and comes back after 830? So you are screwed if you arrive late or room key demagnetized and lock you out (good thing that staff will warn you about it)

Good thing is at least otherwise the beds are sort of clean.

Overall, for the price I paid I could have got a better hotel.

It is a literal dump. I prepaid unfortunately and it was so horrid that I refused check-in. The hotel rents by the month and week to down-on-their-luck people. A frightening experience for the average traveler. Shame on Expedia for associating with such a slum. Also, shame on Expedia for not standing behind the rooms they rent and honoring the promised refund. Save yourself the trouble of renting this slum. Just imagine trying to get the bugs out and then booking yourself in somewhere safer.

Let me start by saying I know this was a very cheap motel but we were hoping it was at least clean. It was extremely dated. We were on the second floor so every creepy step taken by the people above us we can hear clearly. Very thin towels. Very flat pillows. We had to buy some at Walmart or it was impossible to sleep. No wifi. Apparently it hasn’t worked for some time. So tried to watch tv. Only a few staticky stations. There are no cups, no coffee, nothing. If you are looking for a shower and a mediocre bed, this place is for you.

Saw the pictures on Expedia. It showed they had a nice pool. Once getting there, the pool was not operational for at least a year. Big tall weeds, not even maintained around it so it was an eyesore very disappointing as it was a very hot weekend. Would’ve liked to have a swim.
Another thing we booked extra nights in a king bedroom. But there’s only one king bed in the whole place apparently. So we asked if we could put our bags in there because it wasn’t clean yet at checkout. And they said no so we just stayed in the queen room we were already in that was kind of disappointing. The rooms old and have many deficiencies. On top of that, they sub rent rooms out to people so it’s noisy with the locals. Also, there’s a bar behind the building that was partying till 2:00 AM.
I would not recommend staying at this place find something else.

Although we booked 8 months ago no one bothered to let us know that we have been downgraded, we didn't have the opportunity to find some other place to stay. The hotel had no clue and did nothing to address is but charged full price with no refund, Expedia proved to be useless as well. The bath tub is old, the cold and hot water are opposite. There is no daily housekeeping, pool is closed. Rose from reception has zero customer skills, too much attitude in her replies to basic questions. One of the nights the room next door was having too much adult fun and could hear it through the walls. Cheap property that looks better in pictures than reality. Coffee was the only positive thing.

No HDMI chord in room for my son to play his PS5...most hotels have HDMI cords in the rooms, so we had to go buy one. Extremely limited tv channels. This is definitely a budget hotel. Only positive is the closeness to I405. I don't think the AC filters have ever been cleaned... the room stunk like it hadn't been used in years. Very musty/stuffy. I won't be staying here again.

The room itself was okay but it felt unclean and unsafe, there were spiders crawling out of our sink and there were many outside our door on the ceiling, there was a small hole in the tub, the chair inside had a questionable stain. When we checked in they told us smoking marijuana is not allowed yet so many other and random people were smoking and getting high all night, I had to keep making sure no one broke into our car.
Also the front desk people were quote ride as well, we wanted to check in early and asked through call if we could, they said yes as long as we paid $10 which is fair but when we get there we are told it’s $10/hr until the original check in time which they didn’t mention over the phone.
