This is the hotel most convenient to the University of Washington and that adds great value. The double room with sink snd shared bath was comfortable and clean. There are lots of student eateries, but one needs to get an Uber for finer dining.

Very cozy and nice, extremely convenient near the Rail Station and nearby eats! I will say the extra fans provided really helped and staff went above and beyond to help us even after hours when its just for emergencies. We really appreciated that, will definitely be staying here again in the future.

It is a quaint place to stay. It is an extremely convenient, walkable and a quiet location. Using a pass code to enter the inn and our room was awesome. The upstairs common area with kitchenette facilities was a unique and very convenient surprise touch. The one drawback for me was the thin walls and being awakened at 6 am on a Sunday morning by some loud person banging shower doors as they got ready in the morning.
