“What a great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We had a lovely time in this hotel. Nice big room, free parking, free WIFI, free very good breakfast. probably the best hotel breakfast we had on our whole trip. Yoghurt and fresh fruit; my favorites!
And the free shuttle into the city is a bonus! You can leave your car behind at the hotel, no worries.

“Great value. Clean and confortable.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

We stayed here for two nights. They volunteered a complimentary upgrade to a nicer room even with our discounted AAA rate. We found the staff very friendly, the continental breakfast was adequate for our needs - well stocked and clean. We found the atmosphere very nice.

“Convenient and Congenial”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Colleagues arranged a stay for us at this pleasant hotel, close to the University of Washington. The room was large and comfortable. We had a number of contacts with hotel staff; each one was courteous and efficient. The continental breakfast was better than most, actually having protein (hard boiled eggs and yogurt) as well as coffee, tea, cereal, bagels, pastries and juice.

There were only two negatives: (1) The hotel has no restaurant. HOWEVER, 100 feet down the block is the Portage bay Cafe, one of the great Seattle restaurants for breakfast and lunch. We found dinner options in the neighborhood. (2) The decor could use some spiffing up.

Thank you for your comment! I’m glad that our breakfast and staff were accommodating.
Unfortuantely, we do not have a restaurant, but our neighbor, Portage Bay Café is open daily for breakfast, lunch and brunch. There are many restaurants within walking distance for dinner as well; even quite a few that will deliver directly to your room!
We completely agree with your comment that rooms could use some spiffing up. We are currently working on a plan for updating our rooms which will be rolled out soon.

“Nice place for a visit to Seattle”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Located in the Queen Anne area, the University Inn provided us a great base location as we explored the area. Excellent customer service, comfy beds, pleasant and knowledgeable courtesy shuttle drivers and free parking. Standard continental breakfast which worked just fine for us. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate available in the lobby at night. Overall, a very pleasant experience. The hotel is pet friendly and provides baggies for cleaning up after your 4 legged family member. Grassy areas are a couple of walking blocks away.

Room Tip: Call ahead if you have a secial request. The staff are very accomodating.
