The staff was particularly accommodating and able to give us good service in answering questions and giving us help based on their knowledge of the area and what our needs were. Our stay was pleasant and we were pleased with the accommodations. If needed, we would definitely consider staying at the Marco Polo again.

Perfect location for us

You would never guess this hotel is on a highway. The room was super quiet, clean and big enough for our stay. Only down side was that it was a little warm in the room and it took many hours to cool it down. Close to the zoo, Fremont and the lake. We would stay again

Great motel just outside the city. Rooms are a little outdated but very spacious and everything was cleaned and worked. All staff we spoke to were very friendly and gave us great food and drink recommendations. Parking free and right outside our room. Around a 10minute walk down to freemont which has bars, restaurants, supermarkets, breweries and lots more. Area felt very safe. Drive or bus will take around 10mins into the city, we walked and it took around an hour with some great views and nice places to grab a coffee along the water front. Great value option very close to Seattle

Ryan is Great! It's great to meet someone like Ryan who cares more for people than the business that could suffer. I walked to the right of Aurora because I was starving. I saw lights, hoping that there would be good. These lights were lighted but stops. However, further on the walk is a Mexican Restaurant the other direction. Crossing safely, I notified others eating. Carnitas Plate with a bottle of Mexican Coke; must be Heaven. I'll enjoy dinner here again, as it's Great and filling.
