Yes. I believe we do a fair amount of traveling and we have been to many hotels in this price range in various different cities around the world. I don't think I loved any other hotels as much as I loved this one. 1. A microwave and a fridge is a must. Thanks for having them. Seriously. Great storage area... More

Easy access off the I5 if you are coming from north of Seattle, and that's a good thing as the traffic going into Seattle always seems to be bad. Complimentary parking also a good thing as it is really expensive to park downtown. They have a free hourly shuttle downtown so again you can avoid the parking hassle. It was... More

Dear Debleslie, Thank you for your positive review of the Watertown Hotel. We are easy access off of I-5 and, that, along with our complimentary parking and free shuttle service to downtown, makes us the perfect location! We are glad you enjoyed our complimentary amenities and friendly, helpful staff. I will pass along your kind comments. The Watertown team! More

We chose this hotel for the location near UW and for the underground parking as we didn't want to have to totally unload our car, including bikes, for only one night. More expensive than we would normally pay but the trip was partially business. We w ere upgraded to a very nice, large room with sofa and comfortable chair and... More

Dear etb874, We are so glad you enjoyed out Watertown Hotel, with secured, complimentary parking, in the U-district. We are in the process of getting an upgraded bed package, which should solve the issue with the sheets coming un-tucked, as they will be fitted!

The university area of Seattle isn't where I would typically stay when visiting, but as we were attending a performance at te nearby Neptune Theatre, it was a perfect spot!

Walking distance to UW and free parking and shuttles. Both nice in this parking and traffic plagued city. Desk service fine. Decent value. Good little market across street and close to University Ave. shops. University Medical Center shuttle passes in front of hotel.
