"Great place to stay near the campus"
Overall score5.0/ 5
The staff was extremely nice and very generous working the Thanksgiving holiday.

07-Dec-2025 Verified review, stayed from Wed Nov 26 to Thu Nov 27 2025 at a $118.30 average nightly rate.
"Would stay here again."
Overall score5.0/ 5
The room had it all and the bed was super comfortable. I especially LOVED the European style double duvets. It felt like I was sleeping in a cloud.

20-May-2025 Verified review, stayed from Thu May 15 to Sun May 18 2025 at a $171.99 average nightly rate.
"Comfortable beds, Watch for fees."
Overall score3.0/ 5
We found the beds to be quite comfortable with the unusual quilt/sheet coverings. The staff are pleasant.The location near the UW is the primary reason for staying here and they take advantage of that location by charging high rates during events at the UW. Just watch for the added fees some of which are collected on arrival. We were charged for parking and were originally charged a $23 amenities fee on top of the high Seattle tax and the pet fee. The amenities fee is not worth it and was later dropped after we complained that we had not been made aware of it prior to booking. Hotel is located near a nice breakfast restaurant. We will consider staying further from the UW campus and using light rail/car in the future since the location while near the UW is not that close.

"Peace and rest during a stressful week!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
My daughter and I were in Seattle for several days of testing at the hospital which was stressful and exhausting for both of us! This was our first time at the hotel. We felt welcomed from the very beginning! Once in our room we were delighted with the beds and linens! Very comfortable and the room itself was spotless! We were I walking distance to several restaurants and markets which was convenient as well! Highly recommend!
