The owner allowed me to check in early with no extra charge. This retro motel is nestled in a nice neighborhood just off of main streets and freeways. The area is quiet and felt safe to walk around after dark. I was there for 5 days on business, and there are some great spots within walking distance. Futura Coffee has great pastries, Aztec Burrito, Thai Ginger, a gas station are all within 8 minutes on foot. Fred Meyer, gas, and Wendy's are nearby. My favorite was NightHawk, a cafe just up the block from the motel. The room is nice and clean, though appliances are older but clean. AC/Heater unit worked well, and the bed was comfy. Parking felt safe, and the property is well lit. Owners were nice and accommodating. I'd definitely stay here again.
