Excellent staff and sunny, comfy lobby. The rooms are quite small but clean and charming. Good breakfast; I loved sitting at the counter facing Roosevelt Ave, watching early morning commuters. Afternoon snacks of veggies, salami and cheese was a nice touch. Great location nearby the freeway and minutes from downtown. My trip was business but it would be fine for... more

I was here in the freak huge Seattle snow storm last year, for my first trip to Seattle. The rooms were comfy (we had a very cool view of Mt. Rainier from our room) and the hotel was clean and welcoming. What takes this place from the average hotel to a 5 star for me was the service. Everyone was... more

The Best Things about the University Inn are the simple, clean, quiet rooms, the large, free parking lot, the friendly staff at the front desk, and the Portage Bay Cafe ... a fantastic breakfast spot adjacent to the hotel that serves up one of the best breakfasts in Seattle. It's not the most hip, charming or romantic hotel, but it's... more

For a driver visiting Seattle for the first time the Inn was really convenient , so close to the main interstate highway yet in a quiet location with great parking. While out of town the lake was close by with a pleasant walkway around the campus that was v pleasant. Having laundry facilities, free computer internet access (albeit time limited)... more

We stay at University Inn regularly when we combine medical trips with recreational activities. We enjoy the quiet rooms, easy parking, the swimming pool and friendly staff. We love walking through the University District - sampling many different ethnic foods. The Inn appeals to both my teenager and my fourth grader. more

Only thing i can complain about is the rainy and cool weather. Getting around town is easy, public transportation is good, walking is also easy to do. Good local restaurants... more

We stayed in this hotel for a week. Our visit primarily was to visit the Boeing factory. But we loved Seattle. The hotel was very comfortable with the breakfast , constant supply of coffee and tea and the afternoon snack a real plus. The location was ideal for us close to restaurants, shops, the university and water to enable us... more

We stayed at the University Inn because the Watertown was fully booked. The Inn is owned by the same owners as the Watertown, and they tell potential customers that freely. They also tell customers over the phone that they have "all the services" of The Watertown, and that it is a "boutique" hotel like The Watertown. Wrong -- this is... more

We discovered this gem 3 years ago when visiting my husband's family in Seattle and now stay here twice a year. It's nostalgia for him since he's a UofW graduate. The staff is so friendly and helpful, rooms are very nice with the most comfortable beds and lots of pillows. We love having the fridge, microwave and coffee pot in... more
