Americas Best Value Inn-Edmonds/Seattle North

Ended up booking a reservation here because everything in a 30 mile radius was booked up, and I had to be up there for training. If I wasn’t so tired from running on 4-​hours of sleep the 3 nights prior, I would have driven myself home, 2.5 hours away, just to be back by 7 am the next morning. That’s what I did the second night. Everything is dirty, the linens are tattered and delivered in a rite-​aid shopping cart, the halls smell of marijuana, and the elevator has carpet that isn’t really tacked down and smells of urine. People live there full time, so the crowd is repulsive. I could not believe the place is allowed to stay in business. I was terrified to park my car there for fear of damage or break in. If you don’t absolutely HAVE to stay there, don’t. The money saved is not worth the experience.

A dump! We stayed here because other places we tried were booked. The room didn’t smell but the hallway did. Our carpet was filthy. Only two of the four bathroom light bulbs worked and one was missing. And when was the last time you saw an old CRT television? Oh well, any port in a storm, I guess.

Fellow travelers,
PLEASE! Do yourself a favor and skip this place. My boyfriend and I were in town for a wedding and used priceline to book this place. I will never use priceline again after seeing the kind of hotels they give you as an option. I waited 20 minutes to have someone check me in, the place smelled of homeless people and urine. We got to our room only to find multiple stains throughout the room, on the carpet, the chair, and mold on the shower curtain. The bed sheets did not cover the bed and the room reeked of a smell that not even an open window for 24 hours could take away. The stench of homeless person was permeated into the walls, sheets, carpet, everywhere. I was afraid to walk barefoot in this room and we considered just eating the money and leaving the night we got there to find a cleaner place, alas, I am not made of money and put down an unreasonable chunk of change to stay at this place. I am honestly surprised that this place is still in business, I was fearful for my health and my boyfriend and I even did a bed bug check because this place is just that filthy. Additionally, when we took a shower, the smoke alarm went off because maybe the steam set it off? I guess it’s a good sign it worked, but a little too well if you can’t even take a shower with the smoke alarm blaring through the room and piercing your eardrums.
The guy who worked there in the morning seemed nice and fixed the smoke alarm for us, but besides that you would be better off shelling out the extra few bucks for a room that does not make you feel like you contracted some type of disease just by being in it.
America’s BEST value inn? Me thinks not.
