I'd stay here again. Home is where the heart is and this motel is locally owned and if you support small businesses trying to make it in this monopolized world run by billionaires then pick this place and keep that in mind when you do. They are trying to get ahead while keeping prices fair for the community and thats difficult to do. I support it.

This motel has had a not so great reputation in the past. Recently was in town, and needed to get some sleep. It was late, this was the closest place to stop. I am so impressed with all of the changes that are happening there!!! It is quite apparent that it is under new management!! Rooms are getting remodeled/updated, management was super welcoming and friendly, it had a friendly vibe. (Nothing like how I remembered it to be) I appreciate not being treated like just another customer. I will totally come back next time I need a place to stay. Keep us the amazing work management!!

Me and my fiance are going thru a very hard time and we been staying here ever since my fiance was shot down town Seattle a year ago we didn't feel safe living there anymore and moved to Marysville because we loved the quiet feel of this town .we found this place and even though it's an old motel it has alot of history and it's actually been a blessing for us the owners are so understanding and they are working so hard to fix this place up .they are new owners who are haven't had much. Experience in owning motels but have tried their best to make this better.they had alot to repair and remodel getting such an older place but with the work they been doing this is gonna end up quite a great investment for them and their family. . Thanks for welcoming us Jessica n Daniel room 114

This Motel has been around a long time, it has recently from our understanding gone under new ownership and managment, rooms are getting remodeled one by one, quite lovingly I might add!! Everything is as it should be and if you need anything staff will take care of it, I'm sure! Location.. location.. location!! This Motel has this in spades!! It is perfectly located just a pinch off of a main i5 exit, a pinch from several casinos, grocery stores, but closer even to a family favorite park for locals and tourists alike! Rooms are quite quiet, it surprised me how quiet it actually was, sleeping was not an issue either, as our sheets etc were new and comfy! In all this Motel isn't the most grand or fancy but what it does have is character, it really does have that charm, that one could only get with time and experience!! Come with reasonable expectations, and pleasantly surprised you shall be!!
