"Very nice!"

Woodspring Suites Algona/Auburn - Seattle South

8/10 Good

"The kitchenette comes with absolutely nothing to prepare food with. No cutlery, no dishes, no dish cloth, nothing. It renders the cooktop basically useless unless you bring your own kitchen utensils. I asked at the front desk and was told they do not have anything to loan. Why have a hotel with kitchenettes if you don’t provide anything to cook with?"
