University Inn is clean, comfortable, & quiet. Only drawback was that the shuttle was not running when I needed it, despite earlier reassurance from the hotel staff that I could get a shuttle from the light rail stop to the hotel. No offer was made to reimburse us for the taxi ride, despite my complaints. I had to arrange for... More

I was surprised to find this hotel had a nice pool, complimentary parking, and a continental breakfast (though not much of one). I was upgraded to a very large room. I liked the room size, amount of seating, mirror over the desk (to put on my makeup while sitting down), and extra counter space in the bathroom (there is a... More

Walking distance to University facilities and restaurants. Excellent and efficient complimentary shuttle service to downtown shopping area. Breakfast corner could be improved, presentation and products rather cheap. Rooms are large but street noise can be a problem.

I can't say enough about this hotel. The staff was helpful and kind. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped. The location was great - near food and services. A free parking - a real bonus in Seattle! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again should I find myself in Seattle. I would recommend the University Inn to friends and... More

This hotel is a wonderful value in the University district. The staff was cheerful, friendly and helpful. It was our first stay here, but they upgraded us to a larger room. The decor was very modern, yet soothing - no ugly floral prints to hide stains. The decor, bedding and towels were nicer than I've had in much pricier hotels.... More

Stayed at this hotel during a recent college visit with my daughter. Could not believe the value. At the rate charged, it could have been a dump and I would have figured it was worth the low rate. Instead, it was one of the nicest places I've stayed at in any price range! Very clean and warm. Comfortable beds. Free... More

Our family reserved 4 rooms for 2 nights and were upgraded even at our AAA rate. Rooms were very comfortable. Perfect beds with silky smooth sheets and huge fluffy towels in the bath. The staff was always very pleasant and accommodating. Parking was included as well as a simple but adequate continental breakfast. We had a very comfortable stay.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the University Inn for 3 nights in March because UW flew me out for a prospective grad student weekend. The hotel was pretty standard - I wouldn't call it extraordinary but I can think of far more good things to say about it than bad. The location was great. I walked to Drumheller Fountain... More

My daughter and I stayed here for two nights in February 2012. My entire family also had a previous stay in October 2011. Both visits were excellent. This is a convenient location if you have business or pleasure activities involving the University of Washington, as it is only a few blocks from the campus. There are loads of shops and... More

Nice staff - I've stayed here a few times and really have enjoyed it. Great location by the University. Wish they had airport transport, but great place to stay.
