To start, this place was disgusting. The room had clearly not been properly cleaned in ages. There was caked on dirt all over the floor, mold in the bathroom, stains on the sheets and walls, seriously there was a poop stain on the wall under the toilet paper roll in the bathroom, and even prescription pills scattered on the bathroom floor. I should have gone with my gut and left as soon as I saw how gross this place was but I didn’t. Now I’m covered in bed bug bites, my arms and legs are just covered and there is absolutely 0 doubt that they came from my stay at this roach motel.

Just fine for a solo traveller
The hotel itself is pretty outdated, with threadbare carpet and an actual KEY to lock the door. However, the room has a nicely updated bathroom and fridge/microwave/TV with cable. There is plenty of visible wear inside and out, but it’s just fine for a no-frills solo traveller. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy.

The Crown Inn Budget Motel
The Crown Inn is run by a very nice senior couple. They always keep the office locked. The motel area is a bit seedy but there were no issues with the room which is dated but clean, bathroom is dated but clean with good flush toilet and a very good shower. There is a vanity with a sink which doesn't flow well just outside the bathroom. A Thai restaurant steps away and the best thing for me is a very good express bus line runs quite often goes downtown near Public Market Center and connections to other sites.

Prostutes, drugies were on the street everywhere. The drugies were screaming and yelling all night. Sirens sounded all night too. The miniblinds couldn't cover the hallway window completely.

This isn't a place for everyone, certainly not kids or wife, but you can have a blast with a friend! If you're looking for adventure this place and the neighborhood is for you. Make sure to visit Lava Hookah Lounge for authentic experience.

Sweet older couple checked us in. For the price, it was ok, but cigarette burn holes in the 80's era bedspread and overall seediness of the area were a little unpleasant.

Like everyone said you get what you paid for, not worse stay but not the best. I wouldn't recommend families who want super comfort. The area was fine, you're in downtown area Seattle, of course there are homeless people but they won't harm you or anything. The room was a nice size. The TV only went to one channel but I didn't care. Make sure you check in before they close and if you are coming later than call them so they're there. No frills and the staff are there on business only.

Motel on Hwy 99
Room was clean, bed spreads a little worn. Exterior could use pressure washing on stairs and walkways. No problem people at this motel what so ever. Quiet. Ice would be nice. Easy commute to downtown.

This is a convenient location and a relatively inexpensive place to stay overnight in Seattle. There is a great Thai restaurant across the parking lot. On the negative side the room reeks of cigarette smoke, the building is run down and the area is crawling with prostitutes lining the roadway.

No ice or vending, Sink is kinda dirty looking, the tabletop was not clean, floor dirty, chair arm was broken, the tv had alot of stains, lights were burnt out or broken, microwave was dirty, dusty surfaces, Owners are too old to be doing the housekeeping which makes me really unsure of the room cleanliness aside from the issues i mentioned. Price should be much less to justify these issues or else its definitely a pass for me and i am not terribly picky. Be skeptical of good reviews of this site on any website.

I found the Inn keepers to be rather understanding of my situation... sometimes silly and also having a caring understanding in regards to me and my spiritual outbursts... I had the pleasure of staying there this recent Passover Holiday... I happened to mention what the festivities were about and though they were honest enough to say they dont Pray they way I do... they were most accepting and accomodating of my rituals... I definitely dont expect anyone to Pray the way I do... Thank You
