Brighton Guesthouse (Walk to Metro)

Lee (the host/manager) was prompt and helpful in getting back to me when I booked the place. As far as The Brighton Guesthouse itself: it is a bit dated and could use some updating. I thought it could have been a little cleaner. The floors in my room needed a sweeping/mopping, but overall it was okay for cleanliness. The walls are paper thin, so I could hear snoring from the room next to me. And the bed I had was super squeaky/rickety, and could have been more comfortable. The room is secure with a extra lock on the inside, so that’s nice. I would say overall it’s an okay place, but not worth what they are charging, given the condition of the place and the rundown neighborhood that it is in.

This is a very low level, no frills, small space, room. The check in procedure is complicated, the lighting at the entrance is poor. The neighborhood is low level and noisy. With quite a bit of transient and homeless people walking the streets. It’s tucked back away from businesses and any access to any commercial activities. It’s not quiet. People could be heard, checking in to their rooms and in their rooms through the very thin walls. The shower door is so narrow that it’s dangerous to try to walk through . There’s a poor smell to the bathroom as though someone had urinated on the floor and it never really got cleaned up appropriately. There’s no air conditioning of any type. The only ventilation that you can have is by opening a window which has no screen to it . While there are rules posted, no alcohol, no ***** no smoking no noise, there is no one here to enforce those rules and I could smell someone smoking somewhere at home of the property. However, the bed was firm and comfortable and the pillows were nice. I’m not happy with the accommodations at the price. I would not stay here again . There are no posted evacuation signs. The accommodation management did not give me instructions that were clear. As this is a self check in. I didn’t feel unsafe. But certainly if I were someone that could not defend myself from some of the characters roaming around on the streets, I would not feel safe . Don’t stay here.

Host was very welcoming and responsive. Great area in the middle of Seattle, close to everything via light rail.

There was ants in my room including in my bed and in the bathroom and shower. Otherwise it was fine.

I don't know whether there have been security issues here previously, but I found the precautionary measures for check in to be silly, but getting into the room was easy enough. However, for the price paid, room/bathroom could've been cleaner. I think bedding was clean, but super wrinkled. Also, the couple in the room across the small hall from mine could've been in my room, they were so loud til 1am. Guests regulate themselves, but there is no buffer for sound, so good luck.

I recently ran into some bad luck and it had unfortunately left me and my family homeless and we had what we could fit in my car that was stolen over a week ago so now we have nothing. It's crazy to think we had friends over for dinner at the end of January. With that being said every place we stayed at looked at us with descus,looking at our daughter like they couldn't believe we could dress her like that. They were rude never listen to us refuse most of our questions and request.BUT this place welcomed up they smiled didn't make us being back an empty bottle of shampoo just to get a new one. They have us water and coffee! It made me cry with know things will get better and that is priceless. Thank you Skyway we can't tell you enough how much we appreciate your hospitality.

Shower and bathroom was cramped. Would like to have a re-cycle bin. Better would be to have door draft covers to keep hallway light out of the room. Really would have liked to use the laundry room. Also would be nice to have cleaning wipes in the kitchen as it's shared. Overall would recommend.

Arrived at the airport to find that the phone number given was not in service and no actual address. I was stranded. ******* was no help at all and left me speaking with a computer that kept saying, "I understand ".

I particularly like that this is a noise-free environment
