Motel 6 Seattle, WA - South

10/10 Excellent

"I had been staying at the Motel 6 in Fife. This week, I stayed at the South Seattle location. I will never again stay at the Fife location. The south Seattle location was a hundred times better. The rooms were clean, and stocked with towels, an ice bucket, and cups."
