This location is wonderful if you are looking to catch a show at the Neptune or hang out in the U-District. As others have said, it's no frills, and that is what keeps the cost down. My only "ding" against the place on our visit was the lack of a basic set of kitchen utensils and amenities. We were planning to eat in to save money, but cooking was a struggle without a can opener, kitchen tongs, a wine opener, for example. We were surprised to find a water filter, but no way to make coffee in the morning at all, meaning one of us had to wander out into the cold rain to get coffee to start the day instead of brewing a simple pour over or small auto coffee maker. The space was clean, a few more towels than just one per person would be helpful, but it otherwise it was a good place to stay for the money, with access to nearby stores, great parking if you ask Melissa for the parking pass for the small added fee, and yes, the building is SO quiet. It's wonderful in that regard. Great place to crash in simple style. But a coffee maker would be a game changer!
