Dirk and Jaq have some quiet, simple, affordable, and comfortable spaces right in the International District just a few blocks from the transit tunnel, Bolt Bus stop and Amtrak, and a short walk from the rest of downtown. I've stayed in one of their spaces twice now, and it's hard to beat. The system for checking in is quick and simple, and all the stuff you need to know is communicated clearly.

This remains my first choice for lodging in Seattle when I travel there for work.
