Fine if you have realistic expectations
We knew we had booked an economy room at a very reasonable rate, and our stay lived up to expectations. The room was small but very clean and management was very friendly and helpful. King size bed was comfortable and gated parking was a definite plus. We would rate comfort higher if there was a bedside table and lamp on both sides of the bed and 2 pillows per side. Most surprising was the lack of a closet or anywhere else to hang clothes. What looked at first glance like a curtained closet was actually covering a door to an adjacent room. Would also have appreciated a desk or table with chair. But we greatly appreciated the owner's understanding when we had to cancel a res for son and grandson on short notice due to a family emergency in Idaho. Thanks!

If you know Aurora, you know that it can be a sketchy area, but it also is convenient for launching to several of the activities I go to this city for. With that said, this property belies the neighborhood in which it sits. The rooms are recently renovated and clean, the parking lot is isolated from the road by a nice iron gate and the staff are all very friendly and responsive with requests. The rates are great for the service you get and I will make Best Motel my regular stop when I visit Seattle from now on.

Solid Choice!
Excellent value at a great budget! Minimal but clean comfortable rooms with clean bedding and parking included! Very friendly staff at checkin and upfront with their policies and rules. It looks like a family runs the motel and they really care about their customers and run a good business. The room has a fridge and coffee maker. The walk in shower is very spacious. The gate for the parking lot really makes a difference in feeling safe and that my vehicle is secure. Don’t let the location deter you, this business earns their quality! Just what i needed to visit Seattle without breaking the bank!
