We stayed at the University Inn for 4 nights in August 2008 for our 4th visit in Seattle. Staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast was just right to start off the day, although seating space was a little tight, you might want to get your breakfast "to go", it is then delivered to your room free of charge.
Free parking was very welcome!

Overall, a really nice stay at the University Inn, we stayed at the sister property Watertown 2 years before, I am not shure I´d spend the extra money again to stay there, as the University Inn is nearly as nice for ~$30/night less.

Bye, Frido.

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.
