 SUGGESTED HOTELS -- all inexpensive but perfectly fine. To do your own search, the studio is located at 100 Railroad Ave S in Kent City Center.

It is possible we may be able to arrange rides.

Howard Johnson's in Kent - 1/2 mile easy walk to and from studio - may have shuttle - has a pool, spa & sauna... check and make sure they will be open as pool and spa are outdoors. Saqra's favorite because she likes the sauna.
Kent Comfort Inn - 3/4 mile walk to studio - may have shuttle -- good free breakfast, indoor pool and spa
Day's Inn Kent - Least expensive and perfectly nice. 1.3 miles from studio so car recommended.
