This hotel was purchased by the Pineapple group a while back, and they are cutting back to save money. When we stayed we found that breakfast was no longer included in the price of the room, although you can buy breakfast at the cafe in the lobby. Price of the rooms is the same! That having been said, it's a... More

Good size comfortable room with modern decor. Gated indoor parking included (very nice)! I didn't get a chance to enjoy some of the amenities offered this time. I would definitely stay at this hotel again next time in Seattle. Remember to ask the front desk for the availabiltity of amenities and services as you check-in.

We love this hotel. Near UW and has a lot of amenity--lovely front desk, free news paper, free shuttle to downtown, free bike, free coffee and delicious pasty in the afternoon, free parking. Beautiful room with modern decor. It will be perfect if it provides breakfast. We will definitely stay there if we are in the area again.

We picked this hotel because of its proximity to Seattle Children's Hospital. We loved the location - walking distance to the "Ave" and a short drive to University Village. Loved the free parking, coffee and cupcakes in the lobby, popcorn in the room, comfy beds, free internet. We would stay here again!

This is a great place to stay. The rooms are airy and fresh, and have an interesting layout that makes the bathroom and outer sink/vanity area quite private. The free parking is a plus, as is the free shuttle to and from downtown. It's a few blocks to the Burke Gilman trail,if you're into running or cycling, especially with families,... More

We were at the Watertown for 2 nights in a Studio two queen room. Very nice, very comfortable. Loved the thick towels and good coffee and the general comfort of our room. We slept well. The free secure parking and elevator was a nice surprise and appreciated. Will stay here again because is walking distance to "The Ave" and UW.

We were in Seattle on a last minute overnight trip and rang up Watertown after seeing their shuttle driving around town.
