Hotel Nexus

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 29 Jun 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

The hotel nexus could best be described as a polished turd. No matter how much you polish it, it is still a turd. Some of the staff were friendly. The rooms were sort of remodeled. Unfortunately, the hotel Nexus is really a motel, and should probably be called Nexus Motor Inn to stop masking what they are.

Positives: It had easy access to I-5.

Negatives: The pack-n-play had a cigarette butt and dirty napkin in it when delivered.

This is a motel, with no indoor hallways, lots of noise, and old blower Heater/ AC units that are loud and either on or off. The people walking through the parking lot, made us feel unsafe parking our car and sleeping here. The mattresses were awful - hard, lots of bouncing, etc, and gave me and my family sore necks and backs for our whole stay. Staff varied from tolerant to downright unhelpful. The shower had good water pressure, and the breakfast was nice. Other than that, there isn't much to really recommend about this place.

Positives: Breakfast was good.

Negatives: Awful mattresses.

The shuttle was unreliable, and booked. The location was not near where I had chosen. This was a cheesy roadside inn and not a 3 star accommodation.

Positives: Clean rooms.

Negatives: No newspaper available even in lobby, poor location.

It's a very simple neat hotel. Though it's a bit like motel-style construction, it provides almost everything I need for travel - free parking, free Internet, free breakfast, small gym, mini refrigerator in room.

Positives: location is convenient if you drive - just a minute away from exit of HWY-I5.

Negatives: The hotel room door is on balcony, just like motel - feel not very safe about this.

Clean room, easy check-in; front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was okay. Evening desk clerk seemed bothered that we interrupted his personal phone conversation to ask where we should park as there was nothing available on their property. His rolling his eyes was not appreciated when we were tired and frustrated after dealing with traffic congestion.

Positives: Friendly and helpful desk personel when checking in.

Negatives: Evening desk clerk was rude-we interupted his phone conversation.

Old hotel, remodeled but tired.

Negatives: Filthy air vent in bathroom.

The decor of the hotel would win the ugly sofa contest. The room was so badly furnished, you did not feel good in it.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Would never stay there again.

Construction was being done on the front end. Facilities are older. Room furniture is older, used. Small refrigerator was loud. Sink space for bathroom was small. Internet service was good. Breakfast was very adequate. Coffee and fruit in lobby was good. Shuttle service to the downtown area was a plus.

Positives: Location was very convenient, staff was friendly.

Negatives: Small bathrooms, bedspread had a hole in it, old furniture and beds.

I enjoyed this hotel a lot! The room had all necessities with out the cheesy things most hotels usually add. It was modern, comfortable, and convenient. Slept well, as did my 2 year old daughter.

Positives: It was completely worth the price!

Negatives: The parking during an event they were holding.

Nice for the price point, their website reflects the next rating up but it is not quite there. Overall met our expectations for a girls shopping weekend.

Positives: Conveniently located, good beds, nice reno.

Negatives: Outdoor hallways and elevator.

The hotel was reasonably priced and provided a free shuttle service. The room was nice and had some nice decorations. The furniture had a few stains, but other then that the room was really clean especially the bathroom! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Positives: The bathroom was very clean and a good continental breakfast.

Negatives: The furniture in the room had some stains.

I<BR/>would not give this a 3 star, and<BR/>I would not put north gate in the grouping of hotels near the university-it was way out and not convenient.

Positives: The room was fine.

Negatives: North gate is different from the U district-where

The hotel is an excellent option for those people looking to stay one night and not spend too much time hanging out in their rooms. The hotel lobby is adequate and the rooms are small, clean and comforatable. The only complaint I had is the high volume of noise not only outside from the traffic but also the amount of noise between the other rooms. For a two and half star hotel this is a quality option.

Positives: The hotel sits in a perfect location not too far away from the university of Wasington.

Negatives: The close proximity to the freeway creates quite a bit of noise.

Okay hotel for sleep over.

Positives: Good for budget travel.

Negatives: Far from downtown.

The room was fine, except there's no fan in the bathroom. The hotel is a motel so the sound is awful. We could hear other patrons upstairs and when housecleaning would roll their carts next to the room it was loud enough to wake us up. The night staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. The continental breakfast was fine but it was set up in a tiny room and the line was directed out the door and down the hall.

Positives: It was really close to the freeway and easy to find.

Negatives: The night staff was unbelievably rude and unhelpful.

This hotel used to be a Ramada Inn and is still a Ramada Inn with new furnishings and paint. The staff member I dealt with when I arrived was very unprofessional and I knew I was going to have a disappointing stay right at that point.

Positives: The upgrades were nice looking.

Negatives: I did not like the parking situation and outdoor entrances. I did not feel safe.

This hotel is actually a motel. It is not a 2.5 star hotel. Well, it is either a higher end 2 star or a very low end 2.5 star. The breakfast itself is okay and obviously a nice amenity. Upon checking in I was not greeted, had to wait for the staff to finish their conversation before I was served and I was the only one in line. I was not told anything about the hotel, breakfast, pool location etc. by the staff. I had to ask about each item. The hotel was not recently remodeled as suggested it is rundown and old. It is located right beside the interstate which is nice for travel but ridiculous for noise. It is a motel as all rooms enter from the outside. The pool was not cleaned the 3 days and 2 nights we were there. Leaves, bugs and what not in the pool. Their business centre is in the lobby and upon looking at it there was a sign posted on the printer stating that it was presently out of toner and could not be used. That sign was there the entire time. The cleaning staff was the only bright spots - they were friendly and did a great job of cleaning the room. Overall It was a hotel and I am thankful for a room to stay in.

Positives: The hotel offered a complimentary breakfast.

Negatives: NA.

Sure the place has a bit of a motel feel to it, but overall I've been really happy with my stay. The room was clean and modern, with a microwave, fridge, ironing board, TV with a good number of channels, free wireless internet (there's also a jack in the room which I used because it was more reliable). The breakfast was among the best breakfasts I've seen included with the price of a room, with the make-your-own waffles (they even had strawberries to put on them), and different kinds of eggs, bacon, and other hot items served throughout my stay there. There was some inconvenience due to the fact that there is quite a bit of traffic around the hotel, so you can sometimes hear sirens, etc in the morning. You can also hear people walking on the gallery and rolling their suitcases right outside your door. My room smelt a bit stuffy at first, but eventually the smell went away. The shuttle service is pretty good - the drivers will even sometimes drop you off in spots that you request yourself. It might still take a while to make it where you want to go though, like almost 1 hour sometimes, depending on traffic, etc. Overall I've been pretty satisfied with my stay there, and I'd recommend the hotel to other people, especially if things like free (and good) breakfast as well as free internet are important to you more than proximity to downtown.

Positives: Nice room decor with fridge, microwave, TV, ironing board, etc.

Negatives: Some noise coming from traffic & people rolling suitcases on the exterior hallway.

First, I would go back to this hotel. It was geared to family or business travel for short stays. No frills or exotic foyers, but friendly and pleasant.

Positives: The hotel was nice, the room was nice, and the staff was nice. It was not the Westin. But the free buffet was great.

Negatives: My room was on the side of the street and it was noisy.

Mercy in housekeeping was very helpful. She went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.

Positives: Convenient location to Downtown Seattle.

Negatives: Lobby furniture could be a little cleaner.
