Great stay! Would stay here again 🙂 a few hairs missed in the bathroom, but other than that that the place was clean
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room and property was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The shower was a bit tricky and I could not get the temperature regulated to be a comfortable temp. Ended up washing my hair in the sink (which regulated easily), but that didn’t take away from a good stay. If you have large luggage, make sure you can get it up a flight of stairs. Plenty of parking and convenient location.

The hotel was a good price for being in Central Seattle. The rooms were a good size, but the furnishing could use some updating.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, simple, safe, helpful staff, old-school, affordable—just how I like my lodging! I plan to stay here again when I return to Seattle with my family. You can walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and a grocery store called Marketime Foods in the neighborhood.

Rooms were great, Plenty of room with a coach, refrigerator and plenty of flat spaces. Wifi was a bit slow. Shower water pressure was low and the water fluctuated quite a bit. Many restuarants and other retail within six or seven minutes.

Very simply check in and check out, key was easy to use, found my room just fine and had the best view of the motel ! would recommend considering reasonable pricing and decent cleanliness
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I did not need a car as the hotel was located on a rapid bus service line. An East-West bus is also available. The noise from the hyway did not bother me. Food available several blocks away. Some bathroom fixtures need attention but overall this hotel is good value. I would stay again.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The place itself was nice, however the median on Aurora made travelling to the motel a bit of a hassle when coming from anywhere north of it. The room was spacious, and a good place to rest at the end of the day.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

A very basic, older motel, affordable, clean, pleasant staff, free parking, easily accessible from Aurora. If you want luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you want a comfortable, affordable stay close to Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle Pacific University, this is a good choice.

The Marco Polo is an old school motel and legend has it that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and my room was very clean. Easy access to downtown and Freemont. There is an express bus just a few blocks away.

Great motel and staff wonderfully helpfull. The room was very comfortable and location perfect for our needs. Local transport to most areas of the city.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and comfortable. Good size for a single queen, with a couch, table, and chairs that many venues are doing away with these days. Larger fridge and microwave than at most motels. Can't beat it at the price.
