“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

I'm a student at UW, and needed some place nearby for finals. Normally I commute but wanted extra study time. I was a little skeptical of any hotel near UW because of noise because I used to live near 45th and 16th. This hotel wasn't on my radar and I only discovered it thanks to Hotwire. Due to Hotwire I received a great deal, far below the normal price.

It was a fantastic deal, free breakfast. Coffee in the room, a shuttle service that will take you up to three miles away. Mini fridge, large screen TV. Perfect if you need to get to campus. Plus there is a bus right across the street headed southbound. You have to go north, to go northbound by bus. I was a single female, and had to check in early. The only room they had for early check in was ground floor, so they made sure that was okay. All rooms are accessed from the inside though, so I wasn't concerned.

I'm a huge fan of any hotel that provides conditioner. I don't know why, not many do.

As some review said, the carpet is a little worn but it really isn't a big deal. Still a nice place with really great service.

“Comfortable if someone is paying :P”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

I was there for business otherwise I think the price per night would be too much. I enjoyed the spacious rooms, the mattresses that led to an amazing sleep. The only negative thing I could mention was the attitude by the employees at the reception desk, they were a bit arrogant probably because someone else was paying for me but that wasn't appropriate at all.

“Central and very economical”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

This is a very central Inn, located in the University area with GREAT staff! The king room we had was quiet, spacious, sweet-smelling, comfortable bed, and very reasonably priced, including free parking and Wifi. It's within walking distance of the shopping mall where there are great places to eat, and handy for driving to Pike place market or to the football game, which is why we were there. They also have a free shuttle to the Uni "Ave" if you're so inclined, and provide a decent little grab'n'go breakfast. .

All in all I'd say it was worth way more than we paid in comparison with those downtown places that charge $35 a night for parking! Highly recommended.

“Nice Hotel - Ready for Update”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

We've stayed here before and liked the hotel, convenience and price. Service is good, as is breakfast. However, hotel seemed tired this time. Carpets dirty. Prices up substantially since last stay. I would stay here again, but would hope management would update.

“Great location, excellent staff and rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

We spent Labor Day weekend here while visiting a friend and could not have been happier with our environment. The staff was pleasant and friendly and our room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was very good, as well. I particularly liked having laundry facilities, and was super surprised to see that usage was complimentary. Kudos for that! The location next to University Village was also excellent.
