Rodeo Inn, Lynnwood

we came after checking out of "Thunderbird inn" on aurora which was so gross with dangerous customers (pimps and crackheads and bedbugs) we left immediately. every other motel on aurora that seemed respectable had no vacancy so we took the cab further north to Lynnwood. the price was only about $5 more and was a welcome relief from the former-night and day difference.. it seems like the ownership/management of the ROdeo Inn changed since the previous reviews-this place had the appearance of having been recently renovated. the american fluent english speaking staff had white paint all over the clothes and when i made a joke about bedbugs he seemed very offended like they worked hard to keep the place nice. this place was very clean and even had a fridge and microwave plus a working remote in the room. furniture seemed new and was nice. bed was CLEAN and comfortable-NO bedbugs thank god!.elevator was clean too. soap and shampoo in a clean bathroom. towels were kind of thin and worn but CLEAN. nice simple clean place-just what we were looking for and expected for the price. it actually exceeded expectations..breakfast was nothing special-coffee and prewrapped danishes but with a free newspaper. i think it was like $60 for a queen/$65 for a king. Go a little bit north past the seattle line on route 99 and it is well worth the extra cab price/gas. Highly recommended.. btw i when i used to live in seattle i drove a cab and have seen my share of motels on aurora-pretty much everything on aurora ave in seattle is a dump except for Marco Polo motel (also recommended) across from the thunderbird-(a dump dont go there), which is a nice clean korea owned place (which was occupied at the time).

very rude, bad customer services..... also, the rate isn't $40.......the building looks clean and nice but room is dirty, never get cleaning services........

I disliked almost everything. When checking in we were told we were going to get a room with a broken door. When getting there the door was broken. It took about 5 minutes to open it. The window was wide open and after I put my things down to go to the restroom there was no hand soap and no towels. When going to the bed the sheets were dirty and they all had holes in them like cirgarett burns in a non smoking room. This place over all is a bad experience i thought it was just that one room that was bad so I returned and turns out all the rooms are bad. Paint falling off the walls. The carpets are stained and the shower curtains were filthy. And the tv remote had no batteries.

We booked into this hotel and paid up front. The room was disgusting and dirty. We were there for 45 minutes and booked right out but the manager who was verbally abusive calling us names would not refund our money. He called us liars and would not give us his name. Do not ever stay here! It was the worst experience ever, the manger was the rudest man ever and the rooms were the most disgusting ever.

Good price and a continenal breakfast. Staff was helpful with directions. The room was big compared to other places I have stayed at in Lynnwood.
