Motel 6 Seattle, WA - South
"Good location — right next to a coffee shop and gas station, which was super convenient. I felt pretty safe here as a solo traveler. The room was clean, and the service was great. Bathroom could've used a little extra cleaning, but for the price, I really couldn't complain. Solid budget option."
