There is not breakfast at this hotel, no matter what the internet thinks. Hasn't been breakfast since 2019, according to staff.

Facilities were not thoroughly cleaned - found either dust and cobwebs or possibly mold in every corner.

Part of my bathtub was literally held together by duct tape. The main light fixture in my room was burned out. The front two feet of the mini-fridge in the room had broken off, so the fridge was literally held up by a rusted metal piece (looked like rebar).

Office was only staffed about half the time. If you want ice, it's locked away in the office half the time. Staff was not available during my stay, but they managed to call me a half hour before checkout to make sure that I'd be gone in time for them to clean for the next guests.

Would absolutely never stay here again. The one staff person I met was nice, but couldn't run the whole hotel by herself 24/7. Not clean, not a good neighborhood, not at all as advertised (again - no breakfast).

I selected this hotel as it was listed as a Wyndham hotel... It was the furthest from my experience with ANY other Wyndham property. The rooms are dingy and smelled like wet-dog... However, the staff was very kind and courteous and it was a short drive to the waterfront and/or stadium.

The place wasn't terrible. But also by no means a great hotel that I would return to. It was a place to sleep. I've paid similar prices for better quality, but I think you're paying for the fact that it's in Seattle and close to Green Lake. That's it. The rooms and bathrooms are small. Old TV. We did appreciate the mini fridge though, and Dorothea was wonderful. You will hear road noise from busy Aurora Ave. Maybe even people yelling at each other outside. There's a bus stop right by the hotel, you may get a few interesting characters hanging out there. Just go in with reasonable expectations.

The internet was so bad. It kept going off every 5 minutes. The office responded by having it rebooted but that made no difference. I should get a credit because it really wasn't useable. The TV blacked out a few times as well. Considering this hotel isn't in the middle of nowhere, but in the center of Seattle, you should have excellent internet service

**THEY DO NOT ACCEPT DEBIT CARDS!!
I made my initial reservation with a debit card on Hotels.com, and when I arrived at the hotel, they said they couldn't run debit cards. I've never had an issue like this before. I reviewed the policy given when booking, and it states, \"This property accepts credit cards. Cash is not accepted.\" So here is your warning that although debit cards are not mentioned, they are listed as cash.
Thankfully, I had a credit card to use, but if someone is traveling without one or without enough on it, it could create a problem.

Other than that, our stay was quite enjoyable! The room was clean and the staff was helpful. There was a lovely older woman who gave us a recommendation for a breakfast restaurant, and it was fantastic! It is in an area where I would advise ensuring your valuable belongings are with you and not left in the car.

We told her not to worry about cleaning our room since we were only booked for two nights. The following morning, she stopped by to offer fresh towels and ask if we needed anything additional. It was a nice, personal touch.

I'll definitely stay here again. The price point is perfect, and it's a short drive to downtown Seattle.

Avoid at all costs, there are better nearby option

This hotel has not been updated in decades. The non-smoking room was full of cigarette burns and reeked like an ashtray. I thouroughly regretted looking under the bed. Found years of dust bunnies, random trash, and some tweezers. There was an old Ibuprofen by the dresser. There was a long black hair quite obviously on the wall of the shower, and a visibly dirty bar of soap from the last traveller. The broken jacuzzi tub had a ton of poorly applied caulking on it, as did every corner of the room. The blinds near the sink were broken and not very useful for blocking light. We shared this filthy space with plenty of ants who were familiar with every nook and cranny of the space, and eventually any bags we didn't store in our car.

My wife and I travel often and this is one of the worst rooms we've ever stayed in. It would be unacceptable at half the price. To make matters worse any of the services offered like ice or laundry are locked down unless the miserably rude woman is in the office. The office was usually locked with a sign in the door saying to come back later.

After committing to this hovel, I checked Google reviews. I suggest you do as well. Apparently the rude lady likes to kick people that complain out. We didn't say anything during the stay because of that fact. I was juggling 8 different lodging locations on our recent trip and missed checking opinions on this one. The harsh lesson of staying in this pit won't let that oversight happen again.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

Drove over ten hours to arrive to them telling me that they cancelled my reservation, and had no rooms available. Apparently they tried to charge my card I reserved the room with, before I even arrived… which im not sure why they would do that in the first place. I’ve never had a hotel charge my card before check in. Every hotel in Seattle (and the surrounding areas) were completely booked. So I had to sleep in my car with 2 kids and a dog. To top it all off there’s a bus stop right out in front of the hotel with tweakers hanging out. There were also 4 tents set up across the street with people camping. So it wasn’t even a safe area to sit in my car to try to figure things out. It’s no wonder this is a 2 star hotel.

The person at the front desk and on call- Dorethea- was very nice and helpful. I liked that they didn’t wash towels every day unless requested to save on water. Bathroom was not clean at all with hair in the shower and dirty floors. The smoke alarm went off due to shower steam because there’s no way to ventilate the room other than opening a window. The low battery caused the smoke alarm to go off at random times and chirp. The only solution given was to take the battery out of the smoke alarm, and even though the alarm was also physically wired into the building, I didn’t think this was a good enough solution for my three day stay, especially since a worker told me this has happened more than once. Obviously location isn’t great since it’s along Aurora, so just don’t leave anything in your car, but rooms had locks and secure windows.

Do not stay here unless you are desperate! It was a very bad experience. We arrived about 1pm to find the lobby closed shut and no one there. We had all our luggage with us, no vehicle. I called the hotel number to only get an angry owner asking why I was bothering him during his rest time. I kindly explained the situation that we have nowhere to store our luggage and no vehicle. He could care less. A disgruntled employee finally showed up at 3pm and angrily gave us the keys to a room. Just to make things better, the neighborhood is extremely sketchy, cleaning lady said there was active prostitution going on and there was a loud hostile fight that broke out in the middle of the night. We were out the next morning even though we had payed for a longer stay.

Just... no.

So, upon arrival I try to check in. I was hardly greeted by a very cranky woman who definitely seems like she's got better things to do. While trying to check in, I'm found with the fact that apparently this place only accepts major credit cards(Actual Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc). Without raising too much of a fuss, I try and ask why this is the case, in which my rude response was \"That's the way the owners do things here.\" Now, I can accept the fact that for some reason, a place only accepts major cards or whatever, however the sheer intensity of this older woman's tone was just plain unnecessary. They say that the welcome of the guest essentially sets the mood/experience for their stay. I can only imagine what kind of experience I would've had had I actually possessed an \"Actual credit card\". Thankfully I was able to locate another place, otherwise I wouldve been on the streets for my stay.

Lots of street noise and area is not great with prostitutes walking the streets about 4 blocks a way.

Lobby smells of cigarettes and often there is no one in the office an just a phone number.

Price was super reasonable for Seattle $100/night for two queen beds and full bath on second floor.

No smoking in the rooms and no lingering smell either.
