Guests also enjoy free on‑site parking, coin laundry facilities, and complimentary morning coffee in the office. For cruise travelers, we offer secure parking for only $10/day while you’re away. Public transit is also convenient, with a 25‑minute bus ride connecting you to downtown Seattle attractions, concert and game stadiums, and the waterfront. The motel is close to the University of Washington campus as well as several major medical centers, including UW Medical Center – Montlake, UW Medical Center – Northwest, and Harborview Medical Center.
