There's just so much going on with this place, I'm not sure where to start. First, anybody that plans on staying here should know this place has a reputation as place to find party favors and some thots to serve em up. From what I've been told from the regular residents oh, pretty decent party favors, from the working girls I've seen hanging about offering services, I wouldn't even use them as a tripod.
Another great aspect of this place is the amount of police that are constantly rolling through the parking lot. Even though you may not be breaking the law, don't use drugs, and may even be a white guy from the suburbs, don't think that you I free from harassment. Police will stop you, demand identification, make up false allegations , question minors illegally,and will perform illegal searches on a regular basis. Got to love Lynnwood Police, they are overpaid, underworked, and think they're above the law. Lynnwood pd also have several notable Brady cop cases(crooked cops) that are of public record.
The price is so so, you usually pay about 70 to $80 per night, which is high in my opinion, but low for the area. For that rate you get a basic room, most are sparse, some that they like to show reviewers are well stocked but that is the exception not the rule.sometimes you'll find a room that it's a little more dingy than the next, but for the most part they take care of them and keep them updated, each room does have Wi-Fi, a decent size flat screen TV, and a good amount of cable channels. If you're really lucky you might get a desk. The sizes of the bathrooms varies wildly from barely enough space to walk in and sit down to big enough to have a party in. Some rare rooms even have kitchens and a bar, these rooms are usually given to people that stay long-term. A fun aspect of the cost of the room is the price can jump up to over $100 depending on the mood of whatever staff is on shift and how much they like you. I had good luck bribing them to keep my cost low.
Which leads me into my next not so Shining aspect of this place. The oh so wonderful staff, it's a small place so there's only so many staff members, I got along with two out of the three people, but I was considered one of the lucky ones. One of the staff that works there enforces a curfew wherein she watches the cameras and we'll come and knock on your door until you you're not allowed to have guests past 10. And no I am not joking. And then there is the maids, this group of non-english speaking older women does decent job cleaning the rooms, they are outwardly polite and I never had any issues with them. That's not to say other people did not, I did hear more than a couple will tell me that the maids were caught wearing clothes that were not theirs that had gone missing.
I guess I do owe the reader a few positive points of this place. One is that it's close 2 a bunch of major bus lines, the freeway, lots of shopping, local Community College, and civil infrastructure. You could say this place is cheap compared to other hotels in the area. As far as many of these go it offers very very few. And they are cable television, free Wi-Fi, ice machines. Actually let me correct that last one, one working ice machine on the top floor.
I could keep going, but I think you get the picture. This place is essentially skid row and you have no reason being here unless it is your last option. I highly recommend checking out Airbnb before this place. I can almost guarantee you I'll have a better experience with Airbnb and it'll be almost half the price per night for the same area. Well sort of the same area, it looks the same but there's no harassing police, junkies asking for cigarettes, or angry jaded staff trying to get one over on you because they're mad at their life.
Hope this helps, if you do decide to say and you have pets or children, keep a close eye on them and do not let them wander. There are often unregistered sex offenders and lots of hypodermic syringes around a property.
