The staff goes way out of their way to accomodate you and make sure you have a great stay. We were pretty needy at one point and they were amazing with helping us. There is a gentleman working the desk who was the absolute best and I wish I had his name, but he is from California and was better to us then most places have ever been. If you get a chance to stay here, it's cute and has amazing staff!

I loved this place. Location to downtown was great. Free parking ($50 and up elsewhere) this hotel is old and quirky and I like that. The staff were nice and very personable. But the cleanliness was poor. Would be cool place if it were crisp and clean. Would not stay here again.

The bathroom was not clean, and the toilet was unstable. The room had a strong persistent odor of stale smoke, despite our reservation for a non-smoking accommodation. Furthermore, the noise from the nearby road was quite disruptive, and the surrounding area did not feel secure.

The place itself was nice, however the median on Aurora made travelling to the motel a bit of a hassle when coming from anywhere north of it. The room was spacious, and a good place to rest at the end of the day.

Staff was very friendly. Easy check-in. Good location. It's an older property but lots of charm. Free parking. They monitor cameras on the property, so it felt secure. We stayed along our roadtrip & they were the only location that thought ahead to offer us extra towels at check-in (we had 3 travelers) because 2 towels is not enough & is what every other location provided. Would stay there again. Ice machine was not working.

A very basic, older motel, affordable, clean, pleasant staff, free parking, easily accessible from Aurora. If you want luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you want a comfortable, affordable stay close to Woodland Park Zoo and Seattle Pacific University, this is a good choice.

The room was clean and comfortable. Good size for a single queen, with a couch, table, and chairs that many venues are doing away with these days. Larger fridge and microwave than at most motels. Can't beat it at the price.

The Marco Polo is an old school motel and legend has it that Kurt Cobain from Nirvana enjoyed staying here. The staff were very friendly and my room was very clean. Easy access to downtown and Freemont. There is an express bus just a few blocks away.

Overall, this is a good hotel if you need a place to crash for a few nights. The TV didn't work well, there was "no signal" on many of the channels. Even if you do get a signal, it would fade out every 5 minutes or so. The fridge didn't work neither. The room was cold, and it took a while to heat up after you crank up the thermostat. You can also hear vehicle noise on the road, although it wasn't loud enough to bother me. The Wifi did work well. The benefit of this place is the location and price! You can walk to the Fremont neighborhood, Fremont Troll, the Zoo, within 10 -15 minutes. This is probably the cheapest motel in Seattle that includes parking. If you don't need any amenities, this is a good place to stay.

I stayed at the Marco Polo Motel for about 2 weeks. It was a great stay here! It is very close distance to Downtown Seattle, as well as other Suburban Seattle Places. The Seattle Orca Public Transportation System makes it easy for travel without a car. The room was clean. The room has a good amount of space with a TV, a good bathroom, and WiFi. I would recommend this Motel to anyone that is looking to visit Seattle, WA.
