I've been to an expensive motel. I looked at the parking lot, but the bedding was really clean, but there was only 1 large towel and 2 medium towels. It's not a place to pay this amount of money. …

Check in was a bit strange. It was 'self-checkin.' Basically you used a kiosk, but a person spoke to you (limited English) watching you from a camera. We initially came early to drop our bags and they just had us leave them with a few others in a completely unattended lobby. Felt a little sketchy. When came back for checkin time, we used the kiosk again and it gave us a key. There was someone at reception, but we didn't really interact with them. For checkout, we clicked a button by the light panel and left our key in a 'drop bucket.' Fairly good size room with large bathroom (we had booked a standard double room). Bed sheets comfortable. Room was clean. Seemed fairly updated. Tile in bathroom. Room had tea kettle with instant coffee and tea. Room lights were only controlled by panel by front door, which wasn't convenient. There was a motion sensor light by the front door, which I assume was to make it easier to see the panel in the dark, however it randomly came on a few times for no reason in the middle of the night. The bathroom had a jet tub, but our jets didn't work. Which was really disappointing. It had a shower attachment, but if you used it as a full standing shower the bathroom floor would become soaked and there were only two towels and two floor mats that weren't very big so difficult to clean up the water. The water also wasn't very hot. I only used the hot water knob and had it turned all the way up. Very close to resturants, the Olympic park and public transportation close (short walk).PROS: Clean, decent size, large bathroom, comfortable bed, close to public transportation, mostly self check-inCONS: jet-tub broken, panel for all lights controlled by 1 system by door, close to public transportation8/10

Very poor quality/price ratio... Be wary of the photos or even what is written in the description, if you pay to have a more pleasant view than that of a parking lot or the back of a course .. Know that you won't get it. A hotel not worthy of being described as 3 stars.Ps: very friendly staff
