Extended Stay America – Seattle – Lynnwood

Gal at front desk was very nice. First impression of room with full fridge and 2 burner stove looked great. I wanted to drink my soda but it was warm. NO ICE MACHINE IN WHOLE HOTEL, but I got 2 empty ice trays in freezer. Stove is cool but not a single pot or pan, cooking utensil or piece of silverware to go with it. Aminities described as having a coffee maker. I had to go to front desk for one. I guess extended stay is if you want to rent it out as a apartment and move all your stuff in. But on a brighter note, I got 2 bars of soap, a plastic cup, and 2 queen beds for just me.
Went to take a shower; 3 towels, 2 hand towels, kitchen towel and a bath mat. No wash cloths. But on a brighter note, 2 hours later, ice is made. Lol

This was our second stay here. The first time was in 2013 and we had such a great time I didn’t hesitate to book again. The quality is definitely not the same now. The front desk staff were very nice and always smiling. The room was dirty. We were constantly smelling smoke and marijuana from other guests at the hotel, and guests and staff smoke at the entrances to the buildings. Smoking rules are definitely not enforced. We will not be staying at this location again.

The staff is nice, and the kitchen served its purpose. Otherwise, the room is smelly, the front desk wont bring dishes up to your room, you have to go get them every time. They didn’t have enough clean face clothes for my stay, had to make do with hand towels for a few days. The ‘free’ 24hr fitness passes they handed out weren’t free because they gym has false advertising on the card. It just feels like a cheap motel converted and trying to be fancy (and charging as much), but they lack the amenities and staffing to pull it off. But if you really want a kitchen, it will do the job. Location is great, right next to whole foods, mall, restaurants and highway.

This place puts extended-​stay to shame. I travel a lot for work and this is by far the worst week I have ever stayed in any hotel chain. I have never stated any other extended-​stay, nor will I ever be staying in one again. it says it’s been remodeled, but the carpet in my room was stained badly in several places, they don’t offer a regular cleaning service, and you have to keep bringing your towels down. The worst part is that I am flying straight from here to another state and I couldn’t even use their laundry services because they were out of detergent in the vending machine. I asked the front desk girl if she had any extra detergent as I didn’t have another chance to do my laundry, and she said we don’t own the machines, there’s nothing I can do. She didn’t even offer a solution, she didn’t seem like she liked her job at all. I should have read the other reviews before staying here, but unfortunately I ended up throwing my money away on a very subpar hotel. I’m very disappointed, and will be reaching out to corporate

front desk lady named Lima was incredibly rude and unhelpful. sat waiting for help for 15 minutes. never going back.

Was up here for business and put up in this hotel from my job. Usually they put us in the best western but this time was different. I will never pay to stay at an extended stay and I would request that my company not give this chain any more business. The staff was not very friendly and kind of non chalant about helping. They only clean the room once a week and you have to pay for it if u want it done daily. The beds were uncomfortable and they make u bring your used towels down to the front desk to get new ones. Not a matter of being lazy but just the fact that I have to come down and ask for new ones each time seems like a hassle. The breakfast or snack is more like is a choice between an apple orange muffin or granola bar. I was pretty disappointed with my experience at this place.

Scored a free 3-​day stay at this hotel so… Hard to be too critical. But honestly, not too much to be critical about. Sure, the first thing we noticed was the cigarette smell in the hallway leading to the «non-​smoking» room. We’re not über sensitive to that so… it was tolerable but… still noticeable. But… the linens were fresh in the room and the odor lessened when we got out of the hallway.
The place was clean and looked to be recently remodeled. Nice kitchenette (but no utensils). Clean upgraded bathroom with the usual free shampoo and such. Other amenities could be gotten from the desk staff (we forgot our tooth brushes but got some free ones there…) The hotel has lots of trees around it. It was nice looking out into the tree line rather than another building.
Nicely located about 30 minutes drive from central Seattle and within walking distance to markets and restaurants (2 – 5 minute walk). Also probably the closet ESA hotel to the Canadian border, eh?
A short drive across the freeway on 196^th will get you to a good variety of restaurants, but I recommend The Spaghetti Factory just up the road from the hotel. An easy walk if you choose to do so. Good food for families and couples alike.
About the hotel:
Good: ability to cook meals in room
Bad: ability to cook meals in room: Walking in the hallway past a room that is cooking fish or heavily spiced food is something that i won’t miss (better than the cigarette smell though)
The desk staff is pleasant enough but annoyingly clueless on suggestions on places to eat.
To the desk staff: There’s a Spaghetti Factory restaurant about 0.5 miles up the road, and a good selection of places to eat across the freeway on 196^th. Also a nice deli at the Whole Foods Store for a quick bite… Feel free to post this at the desk for your reference… ;)
A previous reviewer said that describing the morning offerings in the lobby as a «continental breakfast would be pushing it» was dead on. We roll out of the room late on vacations, typically 8−9am. Each day there was 1 pot of coffee, creamer, and breaksfast bars. yummm… (no thanks) But again, beggars can’t be choosers. Had I of been a paying customer my review would not be so kind about this.
The desk staff was conspiciously absent each time we walked past the lobby. we assumed that they must have other tasks assigned besides the exciting front desk. On the occasions when we needed to talk to someone, We just stood at the front counter. No bell or buzzer to get anyones attention… Someone would attend to us in a minute or two though. We surmised that they must be psychic…
So… Would I stay here again as a paying customer ($ 100+/nite)? Probably. No bad experiences on our stay…

Everything smells because they still allow smoking in the rooms. Come on, smoking? In the 21^st century? Everyone knows that you need a death wish to smoke cigarettes, so what is this, a hotel for people who want to die? Lovely. This place attracts a sub-​par clientele, and the tacky in-​room kitchen made me wonder whether my room could have been contaminated by previous guests’ illegal activities. I got a room here as a discounted online last-​minute «surprise hotel» deal over the summer while attending a conference nearby, and I was really happy to leave the next morning. The front desk person was helpful, at least.

A job put me up here with some of my co workers. It’s the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I have been here for three weeks and I have been meaning to write this review since the first week. The linens really suck. The towels are like sandpaper. Seriously, can you buy anything cheaper? The face towels will remove body hair. Seriously. Did like the full size fridge and the kitchenette, but the halls stank. There is a cleaning staff that needs to be fired. There has been a smudge on the door of the third floor stairwell since I got here. Also, for the one day per week they clean, they decided they could not make my bed because there were socks (clean laundry) on the bed. After our contractor was extended, en masse we all went to the company to get moved. They added a hotel that added one hour to the commute to our location. And we took it! Nice location? Should I give it another star for that? Nope. Because they built a slum in a nice neighborhood. Some front desk staff is nice, but some is clueless. The breakfast is weak. Hopefully, some decent chain can take over this location and make it a decent place.

One star to me for a review would mean complete crap. So I gave this hotel two as the location is fab. It is directly next to I-​5, within walking distance to Whole Foods, and seconds from Barnes and Noble, target, Starbucks, and the huge Alderwood mall. It is a safe and high end neighborhood.
Front desk personal… The poor poor front desk boy. Shame shame. He stared past us as we checked in, red eyes darting to and fro, treating us and the other checking in guests like his high school foe’s. Rolling his eyes, smirking, and at one point lost his train of thought, stared at a guest passing behind us and muttered loudly to us «oh I thought that was macklemore!» I’m not even kidding. It took everything my husband and I could do not to shake the kid and tell him to stop smokin until after his shift ends. Seriously, he was embarrassing himself.
As for the hotel… It’s an extended stay. It’s meant for long term guests. But please, dirty bedspreads, dirty floors, dusty tabletop, trash under chairs??? It was ridiculously not clean. The smell of serious cigarettes, and what’s that… curry?., Wafted through the halls and lobby. I actually had to make a run to rite aid to buy a Febreze plug in for our room. Just… icky. The outside of the hotel looked nice. And that’s about it.
Never again. No no…

Nice location near everything. Stayed three nights, no maid service during stay at all. Third day had to exchange my towels for new at the front desk. Also no hair dryer in room. Room has a small kitchenette with large fridge. Laundry room on 1^st floor adequate.

No where does it say it’s high end, but for an online booking at priceline for $ 39 before taxes, what a steal in a nice, safe area by the Lynnwood Mall. Even a Whole Foods less than 2 min. walk too.
Surprisingly spacious, with a working desk, eating table, full kitchen with a real fridge, even hardwood-​like floors in the kitchen & bathroom. Though a bit tight, as well as the tub. Flat screen 27 inch TV w/​full dresser too.
Free wifi, & parking but not a real breakfast, continental would be pushing it, the only hot food you get is the instant oatmeal w/​the hot water machine, no milk here ;(Plenty of granola bars and wrapped muffins, prob. loaded w/​preservatives haha.
Still, I’d return just for the price and value.
