“That sex offender of a security guard has more honor and courage than most all of the usual capital hill idiots combined. Making a rash judgment on the character of the one who keeps your track walking self is smart....keep it up, you fit right in with the rest of the morons in this city. Overall not bad. The rooms are clean and the place is quiet. ;-)”

“The Curben and more specifically Timothy, the hotel's manager was an immediate breath of fresh air. I was in quite the bind, helping to relocate a family member to Seattle in a sort of last minute scenario. Timothy went above and beyond in customer service. He is 10 stars hands down the best! Communication about payments was clear, fair and he made himself available to address any maintenance issue. There are definitely upgrades occurring on the property. You cannot beat the price or location. At the time of the booking, the city was curfew. The guests of The Curben quickly revealed that they were neighbors, looking out for each other. When we all got the curfew alert, there was a sort of rally to check-in and make sure everyone had what they needed to stay safe, comfortable and inside. The shared restroom cleanliness was not the fault of maintenance, however it was neighbor issue, to which started resolving itself before my family members extended stay ended. Now, when it was time to move my family member to their housing in West Seattle, they wanted to stay until the last day, and make sure that everything was cleared and accounted for, that and to give a proper good bye. It was well worth the time and money to book at The Curben. Thank you Timothy and Steve!”
