Best Motel

The family that runs the Best Motel is terrific. They are helpful and courteous. And the room itself was very clean. What I didn't know from the reviews was that Aurora Ave, where the Motel is located, is one of the worst places in Seattle. But I figured it out when the reception agent had me sign forms that said no illegal activities would take place in my room. First time I've ever had to sign such a form, but I understand completely why the owners require it, as all kinds of illegal activities take place on the street just outside of the Motel. And so, while I rate the owners and the folks who work there very highly -- their service is first rate -- I do think that visitors unfamiliar with Seattle like myself should know more about the location. If you need peace and quiet and a location far from illegal activities, then the Best Motel, for all of its internal qualities, may not be altogether suitable.

Nice furnishings.

The fridge was off. Didn't notice. Food got warm.

The staff was rude to my wife because she was black which made it very difficult for the night. I would never return to this location.

Honestly I like the fact that it's a gated community. And the staff are friendly & the only complaint, I speak only English so there's a language barrier. Other than that, I appreciate the fact that I have a roof over my head.

Place smells amazing, very clean - great price and amazing staff. We will definitely be staying here again.

The good security on a busy street is comforting. The electric gate works well.

Truly an oasis - impeccably maintained. The staff were kind, the rooms were comfortable and super clean - not that off-putting, bleach smelling clean but a more authentic, scrubbed down kind of clean. Will most def stay again.

Good experience, clean and safety parking.

While the location is a little suspect, the hotel property is secure, super clean and the staff/family who runs it are friendly, considerate and courteous! The bed was very comfortable, we had the king size bed room. For the money spent, it was superb! Plus, it was near the NW Hospital which was critical for our Seattle visit.

The front desk person was very friendly and helpful. Building is older, but very clean.

Gated so perfect for what we needed

Perfect choice for the price! Would choose this motel again for our next stay.

The desk clerk, was amazingly friendly. The parking lot was gated for added security. The room was clean and recently renovated. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

This motel is very clean and quiet! Awesome!

Place was quiet, cheap, and had protected parking. Process for check in and out was easy and the owners were very personable and friendly

We loved our stay here.

Nice, clean place. Excelent front desk service, polite and ready to help and to answer any questions about the area. Secure, free parking. Affordable.

Lovely space and staff. Super strong AC!

The motel is clean, attractive, safe, and quiet. It’s Shanghai in a “shady” area of town. The staff is super nice and helpful! The rooms are clean and well stocked with toilet paper and towels. The bed is comfortable. I recommend this motel to all!
