Quality Inn Kirkland

Location and staff are excellent!

Everything

The door locked.

The first thing I asked staff was if it was safe. This was as someone was yelling out siding, seemingly having a mental health/substance use crisis. I tried to use the exercise room on of the nights and had maybe 6 inches of clearance before hitting the ceiling. The machine doesn’t go above 47rpm before it starts shaking. The upstairs wreaked of smoke despite being smoke free rooms. There was a wet spot on the carpet in my room when I checked in that remained for the next day, gross hairs in the tub. There was screaming at night around 3 am that woke me up through earplugs. I generally didn’t feel safe walking to my car in the morning as I was being stared down. This would be better if I had t been alone,I’m sure. Not the property’s fault.

Great location. Good basic hot breakfast. Capable staff. Just beware of the parking lot. They share it with a Chick fil A and at lunch the parking entrance will be blocked with drive thru backed up onto the busy street. Took me about 20 minutes to get into the parking lot and another ten for the line to move enough to get to the hotel sub parking lot. It was otherwise completely obstructed. You had to wait. Only happened during the lunch hour so far.

If you get a room above the internal laundromat it will shake a lot mid day for a minute at a time. But it's not a big deal. It doesn't happen at night and it reminds me of the old school vibrating motel room beds.

We liked that fact that our family of 7 fit very comfortably in the room. The beds were really comfortable, with lots of extra blankets so the kids wouldn't get cold. We had dishes in the cupboards so that we could actually eat with real dishes, which was helpful. The cable tv was very helpful after a long day, we got to come back to the room and sit and relax with a movie (they had a dvd player) or with something we found on cable. The full sized fridge was great as well so that we could store our food from our long trip in it. we also loved that the breakfast was so hearty. all 5 of my kids were able to make waffles with relative ease in the morning and we were off on our trip with full stomachs.

Breakfast

Homeless out front, TV was broken.

Very good location.

I could smell little bit of smoke from pillow.
