Spacious, comfortable room with great beds and pillows, lovely sheets. (Stayed in a Queen Deluxe) Enjoyed the fluffy big towels, Keurig coffee maker and complimentary bottled water, and breakfast. Appreciated the free parking, free wi-fi, and an umbrella in the room. It was easy to find off the I-5 and is in a great location if you are attending a... More

Great hotel with free parking and complimentary tasty cupcakes in the afternoon. Within walking distance to everything you will need and not a bad drive down to Pike Place Market. (take the 99 as opposed to I-5) Very friendly staff, everything was clean and the room/bed was comfortable. Nice basic complimentary breakfast in the morning. Thanks to the staff of... More

Adorable rooms with a cool view of downtown that were well-kept. Microwave and fridge in the room was useful. Convenient location to the Ave and parking was available to hotel guests. Front desk was generally helpful, though sometimes it seemed understaffed. Breakfast was pretty basic, no hot food.

We *really* liked this hotel. We didn't quite know what to expect, having picked it for its location and good Yelp reviews. We'd have been happy with a standard sort of place. But it was much better than we expected. What we liked: 1. Spacious room, w/ microwave and fridge. (There was a TV, but we didn't turn it on.)... More

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The lobby is pretty with bright retro furnishings and a constant supply of Starbucks coffee and excellent Tazo teas. The staff are friendly and helpful. Troy was especially welcoming. The elevator is quick. The room was quiet, spacious and the king size bed was comfortable. Bottles of water are available in the room... More

We enjoyed a pleasant stay while visiting University of Washington. The hotel was very quiet and clean. Basic breakfast was included in self-serve area. Good location for visiting University at a reasonable rate.

I would stay here again for the awesome bed!! Shuttle bus service to downtown Seattle was great and the hotel is within walking distance of the "Av". University district eateries everywhere. yummm!!! Staff were extremely helpful 24/7 and the Housekeeping staff were so honest. I would recommend this boutique hotel to everyone who asks.

We were able to walk to the UW campus from the University Inn. Breakfast was included; had to walk (really run through the rain) to the Watertown Hotel for a workout but that was fun; the Watertown is a sister facility so the workout room was free. There were about 7 bicycles on the wall at the workout area; I... More

Hotel is very nice for visiting UW. Close to the university and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. They checked in our luggage both before and after our stay, so that we could visit the university. They also let us into a room early, after our trip to Seattle. Will stay here again, if the kid decides to go... More
