The Grove West Seattle Inn — Hotel in Seattle

Stay away if you value your health and safety.|The place was a great disappointment. It came recommended, by my step daughter, I don’t know what she is accustomed to, but this place is a dump. It started off ok, the owner, as he said carried our luggage up to the second floor. That’s was the only good thing that happened there.||1. Let’s start with the door, half the gasket on the bottom was missing allowing daylight and any critter that wanted to come in, in. When I complained I got nowhere fortunately the night person was able to give me tape, to tape it up so the local vermin didn’t join us. ||2. Some genius used Formica type product on the shower surround, that stuff isn’t waterproof for a shower environment, I have terrible mold allergies, I can only imagine what they were hiding , because both my husband and I got terribly sick. You could see the material warping more each day from the moisture.||3. On our first morning there my husband made a cup of coffee, five days later the dirty mug was still there, along with the bag of garbage they forgot to take with them and left on the bathroom counter.||4. The refrigerator freezer didn’t work melting the ice cream. They couldn’t even bother to level the fridge.||5. Best of all missing co2 detector.||6. Oh not to mention there was no place to put your clothes so you had to live out of suitcases. And only one night stand. They advertise a queen bed…a double a best!||Let’s not even discuss the breakfast.||I do believe we are owed a refund. If not these will be reported to the health and building departments...

I rented here many times and no issues, then I was charged and my payment was processed and went through on my credit card. They try to say I didn't pay them which I did and email them proof off my credit card statement but that wasn't good enough so they keep charging my credit card to the point my credit card company canceled my card and issued me another card because thought there was fraudulent activity going on. They have me on the do not rent list for no reason since I didn't do anything wrong and paid for my room and I am not paying twice like they want me to. Then this hotel issued me a refund and then canceled the refund the same day of the amount of my room and can't issue a refund unless you receive the money which they did and the manager just wanted me to pay again for a room I already paid for and showed the proof from my credit card statement. I wanted to pre-warn others they may try to get you to pay twice and continue to charge your card and then put you on the do not rent list for no reason and I was the one that reached out to try to solve the problem but the manager was rude and would hang up on me and didn't want to solve the problem just said I didn't pay and to said he keep charging me again for the room I paid for already. The customer is ridiculous not good and even my credit card company said not go back because I keep going back and forth with the manager and my credit card company. Don't Stay Here, they may try to charge...

This is an older, two-story motel style property that was remodeled a few years ago and has a certain charm. The property is well maintained and cared for. Very friendly and professional front desk staff (a very pleasant young woman) that after a long day of negotiating airports and travel was a welcome relief to encounter upon check-in, as was the older woman who checked me out. I encountered a very friendly and helpful housekeeper in the hallway upon my departure who even offered to assist me with luggage down the stairs as there is no elevator (I am a senior person and stairs are a bit challenging for me). I was very impressed by the cleanliness of my room (222), the bed and bath linens in particular, but also the hardwood floor, refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker. Well done! I think this is the smallest room in the Inn ((a single queen bed)) that had older fixtures in the quite small bathroom, but all were very clean and functioned well, and met all of my needs very well. There was a very comfortable sitting chair and the expandable work desk and chair were just fine (though the desk was a tad worn 'round the edges). There are restaurants / markets nearby and within walking distance. There are two smallish parking lots, but also adjacent street parking. If you have business or vacation plans in or near West Seattle, this is a great location that is hundreds of dollars less than the mega properties in downtown. I would stay...
