Emerald Best Motel

Affordable Comfort Just North of the Seattle Music Scene

Modern motel convenience meets suburban calm at Emerald Best Motel, located in Edmonds, WA. Just 15 miles from downtown Seattle and its legendary live music venues, this low-key stay is perfect for fans looking to enjoy the show without paying city-center prices. With free parking, WiFi throughout the property, and even rooms with kitchenettes, it’s a no-fuss base for your concert-going adventures.

Why Concert-goers love it

This motel’s location hits a sweet spot for those attending concerts in Seattle—close enough to reach the venue easily, but far enough to offer a quieter place to recharge afterward. No need to worry about downtown traffic or noise when you’re this far out. The free private parking is a huge win if you're driving in, and flexible check-in at 3:00 PM gives you plenty of time to settle in before showtime.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to split a budget-friendly room
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
• Couples combining live music with a weekend getaway
• Fans needing a peaceful place to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, select rooms include a fridge and microwave, perfect for late-night snacks. Plus, you're within driving distance of plenty of casual eateries and fast food options. For those heading out early after a late night, nearby diners offer breakfast all day.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party motel, but that can be a plus. After a big night out in Seattle, enjoy a quiet retreat with no thumping bass from downstairs bars. If you're looking to grab a drink before heading to a show, nearby Edmonds has a few laid-back pubs and lounges just a short drive away.

What People Say

Reviewers appreciate the clean rooms, affordable rates, and the ability to park right outside their door. Many mention the friendly staff and solid WiFi connection. Guests also like the option of rooms with kitchenettes, making it easy to prep a quick bite.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury touches or trendy decor. A few guests noted the furnishings are a bit dated, and it's a drive to most nightlife or late-night food. But if you’re focused on the music and need a place to crash, it more than does the job.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, quiet place to stay with easy access to Seattle’s music venues, Emerald Best Motel delivers exactly what you need—no more, no less.
