“Great experience, great staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We went to Seattle the first week in July for a baseball camp that my daughter was attending at the University.

Not only was the price great for the location and amenities, but the staff were very helpful and friendly as well. The Inn/room was very clean but our room was a bit cramped for 5 people. We had 2 queens and squeezed and roll away in there. Parking is also free. There is a shuttle bus that will drive within a 2 mile radius which worked great for us as the University was just down the road and we didn't have to worry about driving and parking fees at the UW. For those wanting to take the bus, there is a bus stop a few blocks away so the walk isn't too bad.

The only thing I found wrong and the kids were a bit disapointed in was that the hot tub was down however since the pool was operational, it was only us adults that really missed the hot tub.

The next time we go to seattle for ball, I will stay here again. I originally had a hard time trying to find a hotel to stay at that was cheap enough for 5, had a pool for the kids and during the first week in July due to not only Independance day and travelers but the Lions club was also having a get to together/parade with other members from around the world. It was a very busy time :)

“Wonderful experience, GREAT staff!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

The true meaning of hospitality is alive and well at this GREAT hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and spacious. My daughter was so excited to get to use the pool and hot tub. I work in the hospitality industry and I was amazed at how truely awesome this hotel was. We travel to Seattle every month and I will NOT be staying anywhere else. 110% recommended to anyone who would like a clean, comfortable room with staff that are always smiling and eager to help! Management was also very friendly and took the time out of their busy day to talk with me... EXCELENT experience!

“Good value, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

The Silver Cloud is in the U Villiage, close to the big newish shopping center. It is in a nice location where you can walk to the UW campus and also to shops and restaurants. The staff was VERY nice. (I was there with a loosely organized group this summer). They offer umbrellas for walking to various local places, and they're really big nice golf umbrellas. The breakfast is nice. The hotel decor does look a bit old, but overall, I think it is a decent stay for the price and location.

“needs updating”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

person found this review helpful

I stayed here in October 2011. As mentioned in other reviews the service is great and there is free parking. It's next door to a mall and there is a supermarket nearby. The room is equipped with a fridge and microwave.

The hotel needs updating though. It felt more like staying in a motel and the decor is tired. I got this through hotwire which was a fair price. If I'd had to pay full price I'd stay somewhere else.

As always, we are pleased with the kind remarks form this guest about our quality service and appreciative of the time and courtesy she gave in relaying her criticism of the aesthetics of our property - as well as providing us with a strong overall recommendation. Even though Silver Cloud Inns and Hotels greatly exceeds the hospitality industry average in consistently reinvesting in it's properties, we definitely take all our guests comments seriously. As we look ahead to implementing physical improvements over the upcoming year, we will absolutely utilize this input in determining those rennovations that will most improve our guest's stay with us.

We all hope this guest will come back and visit us in the near future so they may experience first hand our never-ending efforts to not just maintain but also to enhance our guest's experience with us!
