You can believe all of the reviews, this place really is great. It is what hospitality is all about. My daughter has just graduated from UW and this is the hotel we have stayed at from day one, and we kept coming back. From the pleasant and welcoming lobby, 24 hour offering of quality tea and coffee, outstanding free breakfast (make your own waffles, hard boiled eggs, cereals and oatmeal, etc.), afternoon snack, free shuttle service around town, convenience to UW campus, comfortable and clean rooms to free parking, you cannot beat it. My parents even drove up with their dog for the graduation and they accomodated them with one of their pet friendly rooms. I really have nothing negative to say about this place. They do a great job!

My husband and I are here at the University Inn right now. It's definitely the place to stay in Seattle. The room we are in has one queen bed and a nice sitting area, with a microwave and mini-fridge. The lobby stocks Tazo teas and the breakfast buffet is tasty! The parking is easy--right next to the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The location is fantastic--right in the heart of the University District, walking distance to UW campus, and all the surrounding bars and restaurants. It's also very close to I-5 and just a few minutes drive into the heart of downtown.

We both HIGHLY recommend staying here. As one reviewer said, it really does feel like a little home away from home.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any question about this hotel...

We stayed at the University Inn on June 3 and 4. The directions from the airport were great, we had no problem finding the inn. Parking is a bit cramped but since we didn't use the car while we were there it didn't matter.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and very quiet which we appreciated.

We went sightseeing and when we were finished, I called the Inn and they sent the shuttle to pick us up which was a great accomodation.

I would stay there again when visiting Seattle, you couldn't ask for a nicer, cleaner, moderately priced hotel than the University Inn. Thanks to all the staff there.

This is a really pleasant hotel in the University District. Our room was comfortable, fresh, clean and quiet. The buffet breakfast was good and there were complimentary snacks available at other times. On checking in I was told to go and help myself to what was available. Staff are relaxed, helpful and friendly.
There is a complimentary shuttle available to various locations. Metro buses run frequently and it is a quick and cheap trip to downtown.
The U District has plenty to offer in the way of bars, restaurants etc. This was my first stay at the University Inn but I will always make it my first choice whenever I stay in Seattle. I filled in a comment card at the end of my stay and was pleasantly surprised to receive a letter of thanks for so doing. Highly recommended.
