The Spotlight on Marco Polo Motel

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Seattle's Music Scene

Marco Polo Motel is a no-frills, budget-friendly spot located just a 5-minute drive from downtown Seattle and the University of Washington. With classic motel charm and easy access to key areas, it’s a smart base for concert-goers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank. Each room includes a microwave, mini-fridge, and free high-speed Wi-Fi, plus heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Parking is free, and if you're heading on a cruise, you can leave your car for just $10/day.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate Marco Polo Motel’s quick access to downtown venues—just a 25-minute bus ride or a short drive to major stadiums and theaters. Its quiet, residential location makes it a peaceful place to crash post-show. With free parking and flexible transport options nearby, getting to and from gigs is stress-free. The 3:00 PM check-in is perfect for arriving before a show, and although check-out is at 11:00 AM, it's a relaxed enough vibe to ease into your morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share an affordable space near downtown
  • Solo travelers checking out a must-see gig
  • Couples planning a concert weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a calm, no-nonsense place to recover after a show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site dining, each room includes a microwave and fridge for late-night bites. Free coffee is served every morning in the office—ideal after a long night out. Plus, you’re just minutes from local diners and cafes around Green Lake and Fremont, many of which stay open late.

Nightlife Options

The motel is just a short drive or bus ride from Seattle’s buzzing nightlife in Capitol Hill, Belltown, and downtown. Whether you want to catch a second show, grab a drink, or unwind in a cozy pub, there are plenty of late-night options nearby.

What People Say

Guests say Marco Polo Motel is a great value for the price, with clean rooms, strong Wi-Fi, and friendly staff. Many highlight the convenience of free parking and how easy it is to get downtown by bus or car. Reviewers also appreciate the motel’s quiet atmosphere after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay—no fancy lobby or on-site restaurant—but it delivers where it counts. Some guests mention the décor is dated, and there’s no elevator, so those with heavy gear may want to request a ground-floor room.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and affordable place to crash after a show, Marco Polo Motel hits all the right notes.

Kari, Selah, WA, visiting Tractor Tavern Tue, 5 September 2023

The front desk person was a sweetheart. Rooms are small and a little dated, but the room was clean and met our needs for the night as we were in town for a concert. Will stay again.

Liked: We got Kurt Cobain's room! Super nice staff too!
Disliked: Rooms are slightly dated, but otherwise a great stay.

Bad

Liked: I didn't like the fact that every day they charge me an additional $50 deposit it wasn't one deposit on check-in it was $50 every morning additional deposit then at the end of the trip they decided that because of one day I was checking out right they decided to take all of our deposits back after staying for 5 days
Disliked: I didn't like the fact that they just decided to keep our deposit for absolutely no reason at all

Excellent value for the price,...

Liked: Excellent value for the price. The location is surprisingly good: there are a few nice dining options within a 10-15 minute walk radius. Free parking is a large plus, hotels in the city charge $40+ for parking.
