What could be improved: No instructions on parking. Finding out that we had to pay $48 for overnight parking.Robert from United States – 27 December 2024 (9/10)
What could be improved: The security was rude when my boyfriend was in the room and his phone was dead and he had the fob for the elevator. He treated me like I was trying to scam my way in.He finally escorted me up to the room and confirmed with my boyfriend. The irritating part was it was in my name.Also be aware there is no TV in the room.

– clean
– washing and dryer in room which was a plus
What could be improved: – was a moth in room when we arrived and took a while for us to get it out as the balcony door would not open
– some of the blind slats were missing which impacted privacy and sun light getting in the morningS-t from Taiwan – 12 September 2024 (8/10)
Spacious, clean, and close to a supermarket store (QFC) and shopping areas within 5 min walking distance. Convenient from and to the airport (there are buses 31 or 32 that goes to/from one Line station at U District.
What could be improved: This is not the fault of the provider, but the issue of the location near the street and the stores. I an hear noises from traffic and supermarket almost all day long.
