Extended Stay Hotel In South Seattle Metro Area
HomeTowne Studios Seattle-Kent is a 133-key, economy scale extended stay hotel located on ~2.4 acres in the South Seattle metro. The three-story, exterior corridor property offers Single and Double Queen studios, including ADA-accessible units, all equipped with kitchenettes. Originally built in 1998 and last renovated in 2015, this hotel is currently encumbered by brand but may be delivered unflagged for minimal liquidated damages. This flexibility supports independent operation, portfolio integration, or value-add repositioning through refreshed management and targeted upgrades.
The property benefits from proximity to major demand drivers, including the Sea-Tac International Airport (4.9 miles), Port of Tacoma, and Kent’s industrial and aerospace corridor. The submarket is home to Boeing, Blue Origin, Amazon, and over 12,000 logistics and advanced manufacturing firms. Ongoing infrastructure investments, including the SR 509 Completion Project and Kent Des Moines Station transit-oriented development, continue to expand lodging demand. Area institutions such as Highline College, FAA’s regional office, and local healthcare providers support year-round extended stay and workforce travel.
Positioned in the South Seattle commuter belt, the hotel offers access to I-5, SR 167, and Sounder rail transit, connecting guests to downtown Seattle in under 30 minutes. As part of a larger extended stay portfolio or as a standalone acquisition, HomeTowne Studios Seattle-Kent presents operational upside in a demand-rich, highly accessible metro location.
Kent is a close-in Seattle commuter suburb located just 7 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and 16 miles south of downtown, with direct access via I-5, SR-167, and the Sounder commuter rail. Its walkable urban core centers around Kent Station, a lively transit hub surrounded by shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and public art. Visitors can enjoy more than 30 miles of trails, riverfront parks, and nearby lakes for hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing. Seasonal markets, cultural festivals, and unique landmarks like the Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks add local flavor and a strong sense of place. As part of the greater Seattle area, Kent offers quick, reliable access to downtown attractions, waterfronts, and cultural districts, making it an ideal home base for exploring Puget Sound.
