The internet site and pictures are misleading. It is an old hotel that is in the middle of an industrial area. Interstate I-5 is close as is a crane hire company, a large trucking company yard and to add a little more noise a Harley motorbike dealer. Did not feel safe there, especially at night. To top it off in the morning 2 police cars, thought they had come for a free dough nut, but no they had been called for a problem. Other guests included workers on a construction project, and it seemed a large number of homeless war vets. Rooms ok, bit not great. Breakfast crowded and closed before the stated time due to running out of food. I would not stay there again, spend the extra 20 dollars and go closer to the airport. Expedia shows this as a 2 star hotel, it deserves a 1/2 star. I did not stay at the Days Inn at Seatac, but I think it would be a much better choice for the same rate.

I am writing this response to a negative review of our inn. Although, many points may have been valid, prior to my arrival in August of 2007, I believe we have made great strides in the renovation of the property. The owners of the property have invested much into capitol improvements at our inn, and I believe the results are showing. Included in these improvements are, new carpets, draperies, bedspreads, bedding and interior and exterior painting and construction.
Concerning our location…although we are located near a freeway and in a semi-industrial area of the city, I look at our location as one of the most convenient areas of the city. We are within minutes of either downtown Seattle or Sea-Tac Airport. Are you going to see one of Seattle’s profession sports teams? Days Inn, South Seattle/Tukwila is only minutes from either Safeco Field or Quest Field. A major shopping mall is less that 10 minutes away, a golf course less than 5 minutes and many restaurants are within walking distance of our inn.
One final point…one review of this property has included comments pertaining to “homeless war vets”. I believe the review containing that statement was astonishingly insulting, to the men and women that have served our country. Although, yes we do have Veterans staying at our inn, theses men and women are not homeless. These are Veterans who have served our country and are at inn to recuperate from medical treatment at a local hospital. I am proud to have them staying with us.
