My wife and I stayed at the University Inn for several days in late August. As so many others have said, this is simply a great place to stay while in Seattle. We stayed in a premier room that had a very comfortable bed, sofa, mini-fridge, microwave and a view of Mt. Rainier.

The staff are very accommodating, and provide great service. The shuttle is a real plus if you want to visit Seattle attractions and leave your car behind, and a fine breakfast awaits you at the Portage Bay Cafe next door. Overall, an excellent experience, and we will return.

We loved this Inn, simple and clean. It is located just a few I5 exits away from DT Seattle. Easy access to major attractions. Our room was fresh and I really liked the extra vanity outside the bathroom. We have a 3 yo. This was the last leg of our week long road trip, so the complimentary use of a washer/dryer was a very pleasant surprise. We really like the quietness of this location. I just wish the ac/heating units in hotels (any hotel) can run a little quieter though. Nonetheless, we'd definitely stay here again!

We booked the standard room, the least costly of the three choices. The room was fine, clean and quiet, but had a bit of wear. We arrived late and were up early the next morning, so the room was fine, but if staying longer and wanting a more modern room, spend the extra and ask to be in the newer wing. The AC worked well, but was a bit loud.

I stayed at the University Inn over the Labor Day weekend. The inn is a mere 20 mins drive from Sea-Tac airport, which is great because my husband and I only got into Seattle at midnight.

The hotel, though not located exactly downtown, is a stone's throw away from most of the city's attractions eg. Pike Place Market, Space Needle. The public bus is convenient, if not, the free shuttle service offered by the inn is also a great way to travel.

The inn is clean and pretty roomy. Beds are comfy and clean and the free wireless internet is certainly useful!

Breakfast is wonderful, the only complaint I have is that there are hardly enough tables to go around in the breakfast area. However, they do offer trays so you can always take your breakfast up to the room. Other than that, the hot waffles are a wonderful way to start the day.

This inn is definitely worth checking out if you're coming to Seattle, don't waste money on expensive chain hotels!!
