What guests think

Reviews of Crown Inn paint a mixed picture: some guests appreciate low prices, friendly staff, and convenient access to transit and downtown, while many others report serious cleanliness problems, worn rooms, and a rough surrounding area with visible prostitution.

Multiple reviewers mention stained linens, dirty floors, and occasional pests like bedbugs or roaches. Rooms are dated, though some are spacious or include a kitchenette; WiFi and TV channel reliability can be limited. Service ranges from very welcoming and accommodating to unprofessional or unavailable. Expect a very basic, no-frills stay best for short stopovers rather than extended visits.

No ice or vending, Sink is kinda dirty looking, the tabletop was not clean, floor dirty, chair arm was broken, the tv had alot of stains, lights were burnt out or broken, microwave was dirty, dusty surfaces, Owners are too old to be doing the housekeeping which makes me really unsure of the room cleanliness aside from the issues i mentioned. Price should be much less to justify these issues or else its definitely a pass for me and i am not terribly picky. Be skeptical of good reviews of this site on any website.

Room was clean, bed spreads a little worn. Exterior could use pressure washing on stairs and walkways. No problem people at this motel what so ever. Quiet. Ice would be nice. Easy commute to downtown.

Massive blood stains underneath the sheets that were not cleaned just covered , infested with bedbugs and was given a hard time in asking for a refund- this is a place I would not even keep a wild animal and they said to me we may not be able to refund me. This place needs to be condemned

To start, this place was disgusting. The room had clearly not been properly cleaned in ages. There was caked on dirt all over the floor, mold in the bathroom, stains on the sheets and walls, seriously there was a poop stain on the wall under the toilet paper roll in the bathroom, and even prescription pills scattered on the bathroom floor. I should have gone with my gut and left as soon as I saw how gross this place was but I didn’t. Now I’m covered in bed bug bites, my arms and legs are just covered and there is absolutely 0 doubt that they came from my stay at this roach motel.

The walls, the carpets, the ceiling, the sheets, and even the lamps were all stained. I had to sleep in my clothes on top of the bedding. There are also no fewer than 5 prostitutes right outside the door at any given time. This place might as well give up and only do hourly rates, its only suited to banging someone and leaving. If you book this place as somewhere to stay the night, you will be very disappointed.

The hotel is located about 15 minutes from downtown. It doesn’t look too bad from outside. The area has a lot of prostitution. Our room was terrible. There was trash on the floor and underneath the beds. It’s clear they have not vacuumed for weeks. The bedding had cigarettes burns. It was awful. I would never stay here again.

This is definitely a one night spot for me. Access to public transportation was great and convenient food choices near by. But there’s a lot of homeless, druggies and SW in the area. The staff wasn’t unfriendly but definitely didn’t give super welcoming. The bathroom was gross so we didn’t use the shower. Bed was hard as a rock. Overall I would come back for one night in needed but wouldn’t feel comfortable to stay longer than that.

The hotel itself is pretty outdated, with threadbare carpet and an actual KEY to lock the door. However, the room has a nicely updated bathroom and fridge/microwave/TV with cable. There is plenty of visible wear inside and out, but it’s just fine for a no-frills solo traveller. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy.

Like everyone said you get what you paid for, not worse stay but not the best. I wouldn't recommend families who want super comfort. The area was fine, you're in downtown area Seattle, of course there are homeless people but they won't harm you or anything. The room was a nice size. The TV only went to one channel but I didn't care. Make sure you check in before they close and if you are coming later than call them so they're there. No frills and the staff are there on business only.

Check in is until 11:30pm, i had a late flight that was delayed i ended up arriving at airport way later. I was worried that i would miss my check in, i called right when able 11:20pm. I was amazed at the willingness of the elderly couple who waited for me intil 12:30am. Wow, the staff went beyond and above. Its clean.

The first thing I notice about the proptery was that the lobby smelled. I don't know what the oder was coming from but it was bad. Checkmin was not fun at all. The front desk clerk knew very little english and was very hard to communicate with. The rooms was okay, no coffee pot and the walls has stains from water or a drink. No housekeeping at all because of Covid. That alone is crazy!! I will stay somewhere else next time.

This is a convenient location and a relatively inexpensive place to stay overnight in Seattle. There is a great Thai restaurant across the parking lot. On the negative side the room reeks of cigarette smoke, the building is run down and the area is crawling with prostitutes lining the roadway.

This was my second stop here in 2 weeks. If your looking for clean affordable accommodations while traveling, here you go in Seattle. Friendly staff, rif raf not allowed, serious about cleanliness. Near anything you need. Recommend having your own transportation in Seattle. A welcome surprise for the money. First time for Thai food there too. Popular with locals.
