Marco Polo Motel

8/10 Good

"Marco Polo was sufficient for a single night. It was clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The motel is a few blocks away from a coffee shop. It was a pleasant walk in the morning. The bed was very comfortable the pillows not so much. This motel has potential to become a classic motor drive motel reminiscent of the 50’s."

"Everything was fantastic. From start to finish. The apartment is exactly what I hoped for a quiet, extremely well appointed, comfortable, warm, charming little place to come and visit. There were so many fantastic extras, like plenty of warm blankets and plenty of pillows to choose from. The kitchen was well stocked and clear directions on so many things. Communication was outstanding and the location was also pretty incredible! She’s a fantastic hostess. You really truly feel like a Seattle person staying there!"

10/10 Excellent

"I went to Seattle with 5 of my girlfriends. It was a great property and so well appointed. We had a few snafus with things not working properly and some of the women were annoyed, but the host was accommodating and very easy to reach. We travel together every two to three years. And my friends said it was the best property we have stayed at."
