“Your basic hotel, but very nice and good value - especially for Seattle!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

There's nothing particularly new, fancy, or original about this hotel, but if you spend any time at all looking for hotel options for this section of town, you'll come to appreciate what a gem the Hotel Nexus is. Clean rooms, friendly staff, easy access to I-5, and there are shops and a mall within very easy walking distance for any of your needs.

Because the rooms do face the exterior of the building (with no interior hallways), you do get noise penetration; however, I didn't find it any worse than any hotel in an urban location. You're pretty safe from it unless an ambulance or firetruck goes by ... which would be the case most anywhere.

The concierge service I received from the front desk personnel was above my expectations. Again, very friendly and very helpful, and saved me money getting to the airport.

Room Tip: Ask for an even-numbered room ... this puts you on the side of the building away from the main road.

“Not great, but good price and location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

We stayed at the Nexxus 2 nights and received a very good rate that they offer for patients at UW Medical Center. Great I-5 access and free parking. We last stayed at this hotel over 20 years ago when it was Ramada. It has since been renovated. I am not a big fan of it's "retro" decor but was willing to overlook that for the rate and location. The hotel is clean, front desk staff is friendly. Great restaurant, Saffron Grill, is located in front of the hotel and I highly recommend.

The room itself was adequate. Flat screen TV was fine, bed was OK but sheets were not very good quality. We had problems with the toilet constantly running and the coffee maker was sluggish. One lounge chair in the room was not comfortable to use. The biggest issue was the walls are paper thin. You could hear conversations quite clearly As a light sleeper, this was a problem.
Their continental breakfast was in a very small room, inadequate for the number of people staying here, and the choices were pretty blah. Not enough fresh fruit.

I honestly don't know if I would stay here again. I would probably check out other properties first.

Room Tip: Ask for a room at the back of the hotel to reduce freeway noise. Of course, you still have paper th...

“Good location, very nice staff, good room, clean but NOISY!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

I stayed at the Hotel Nexus one night. Room was modern, obviously remodeled in last couple years, and was clean. Staff at front desk was very friendly and I liked that they had working computer with a printer in the lobby. I was able to pull up an email and print in with a couple minutes. Breakfast in the morning was okay, nothing exciting but can't complain it was free and eating area was clean. I was lucky to have a room with the unique hydrotherapy tub. It was a pretty cool 3 foot deep tub and I was surprised with the fast flowing, crazy hot water, that filled the tub fast considering how big it was (earth friendly, probably not). Location was pretty good, restaurants and lots of shopping very close and only a minute off I-5. I would of rated hotel 4 stars very good but I had a terrible night sleep because of the noise! I could hear traffic, people in the rooms above and beside, cars coming and going out front (it is a motel style with door opening to outside), alarms going off, and the heater in the room sounded like an airplane (and yes, I turned it off but got cold and was forced to turn it back on). Between the noise and the hot/cold all night I hardly slept and by morning I packed up and went to another hotel. Maybe it was bad luck and just a loud night.

Room Tip: I had room on first floor, back side and it was very loud. I can't imagine the front being any...

We are glad you have enjoyed the hydrotherapy tubs and that you found the staff friendly. I want to apologize that you found the hotel noisy. We do have several areas of the hotel that are more quite and would have been happy to accommodate a room move upon request. Thank you for your review and we hope you will give us another try in the future.

“Great Deal AND a Great place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

Conveniently located 200 yds from highway I-5 but not noisy. Was visiting friends downtown and this was half the price of hotels in their area and only a 10 minute hop away. Seems to be a renovated motel that is now a very hip and student friendly place. Great updated in-room facilities include big desk, refrigerator and Microwave; Nice bathroom. Free Wi-Fi and a very helpful desk staff. They have a van that will take you downtown etc. if you ask them.
