clean, safe, economical
I needed an inexpensive place to shower and sleep that was clean and felt safe and this met the need. Management was friendly and available 24/7. The street is really seedy with prostitutes and people that looked stoned in the area. Hotel is securely gated. Lots of security measures in place. Motel was full with lots of friendly families and couples with nice cars. I will stay here again

The place is nice, clean and safe. There is a gate that closes at night and you just press the code to be able to enter the property. What I don’t like is that there is no place to put your soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower area. I just put it on the floor while I shower and I felt like it’s dirty.

Best Hotel is the best! We come to Seattle for a Mariners game and the parks on the Sound for one weekend every summer. Going forward, we're going to just stay here. No more need to shop around!

Liked: Staff & service
Excellent customer service. Very friendly and reliable. The women was very welcoming in which we appreciate. The room was fine, smelt clean upon arrival.. a few corners the bathroom but it was tolerable. Freaked out how close we were to a cemetery. That’s the only thing we didn’t like, the roughness of the neighborhood and the fact that Theres no phone in our room to contact front desk. Otherwise, we’d be willing to stay again.

The property itself was good, the surrounding area, very scary!! Hookers and druggies right in the street! A 21 “entertainment” rooms next door. I feel bad for the owners, they are trying to run a decent place, but losing the battle it would seem.

I enjoyed my stay at the Best Motel. The staff were very professional and kind, the room was immaculate. The rooms are fully renovated, the parking area is secured at night with a big gate wich has a code for entry. I slept good, there was no unusual noise or sounds other than the light sound of cars passing by on Aurora. I would and am definitely going to stay here again. Its close to downtown, close to everything you need and would want to do in Seattle. Theres a 24 hr drive through Mexican restaurant like 7min away called Alibertos that serves really good food for really good prices if your feeling hungry anytime of the night. Thank you Best Motel for having me, I appreciate the safety and cleanliness the motel provided. Id say it was top notch for the area as other places seemed less clean, dangerous, and didnt have the gate that Best has for security at night time. 5 stars from me. Patrick

You get what you pay for. That's not necessarily a bad thing especially with this place. The guy working upfront was super friendly and gave a lot of recommendations for activities around Seattle. The parking not was clean, room was clean, and they lock the parking lot due to the motel located in a area where you will see some tweakers and prostitutes. The room was nothing fancy as you would expect but it was great for having a clean place to stay while on vacation. Again, you get what you pay for, a nice clean and secure place to crash.
