The hotel is generally well-liked for its cleanliness, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. Its location near the University of Washington and public transportation is also appreciated. However, some guests have concerns about the surrounding area being unsafe or run-down, and a few have had issues with noise, either from construction or other guests.

    A young person named September checked us in and she was fabulous! Very nice and gave good restaurant recommendations. I liked where the hotel is located with the different food options and easy to get to the freeway. The breakfast options were great. Fresh fruit and the hot breakfast options were nice. I will definitely book here again

    The rooms are very well appointed with full kitchen and plenty of space. It's not too far to the University metro stop or the campus. Breakfast is decent and there's more spacious seating options than at a lot of hotels with included breakfast. The fee for the parking, but there is parking on the street if you pay attention to the metered times.

No coffee shop on site and no herbal tea meant no warm drink to wind down in the evening which seemed like an oversight. Staff member Iryna was delightful and so welcoming.

    Pros:The hotel Staff was friendly, rooms clean, breakfast buffet plentiful and well stocked, and the hotels location was close to amenities and transit. Cons: Requested room cleaning be between nights that didn’t happen. $35 a day for parking was a surprise. One elevator not functioning the entire stay creating long waits for the elevator. And being charged $7 for a bottle of water that was never consumed in the room. That charge was noticed two days after checkout on visa statement.

    The front desk staff were excellent. The breakfast was adequate. Prefer better scrambled eggs and saugage and some real whole wheat bread or something heartier in the bread choices. But the yogurt and otheroptions were good. Comfortable beda, nice linens, nice rain shower head! Slow elevators, give yourself extra time to wait for them to arrive. Indoor parking in lower level was convenient and walked and used the Link buses to get around. Used app called transit to find bus schedules in real time. Very fun university district and beautiful campus UW.

    Everything about the stay was excellent except the multilayered marketing of the Bonvoy membership on the wifii was annoying and the parking rate of $35 per day was exorbitant and not clearly shown on the website. It just said parking was available.

    The room and bed were comfortable, however the pillows were too flimsy for us. Breakfast quality & variety could have been better. Service was excellent. I also wondered why the hotel didn’t have better insulation within their walls for sound-proofing reasons. Being in UW district, you can hear the noise outside especially at night. Lots of annoying drivers with their dumb loud exhausts / mufflers revving their engines as they drive by the hotelz

    I booked this hotel because of past excellent experience with Marriott and closeness to University. However, my keycard was not activated and I was stuck in underground parking with no way to get out except to walk up the stairs with my bags and out to the street and around the block back to the main door. All doors except the one to the street were locked and inaccessible without keycard. This to me is a serious health and safety issue.

    In a good location. I have family that live in Seattle, and they found it easy to get to us there. Also appreciate that they were allowed to park there for free briefly while we visited. Great breakfast options, extremely comfortable beds, and loved the Ohm sounds machines by beds. Our room had a leak or something in the shower. Pools of water would accumulate outside shower and saturate the bathmat towel. That was the only issue. Great, friendly staff.

    Easy, straightforward check in, parking was 44$ for me and locked garage with fast elevators. Rooms were clean and a/c was fast. One thing was there was no fan in the bathroom, so with multiple people is was very humid. Great warm breakfast fresh at 630-9am and easy checkout. Can't wait to stay again for football games or concerts at the Neptune theater

    We really enjoyed having the separate area from the bedroom for sitting and preparing/eating food. The beds and pillows were the best we have experienced - not too hard, not too soft. Staff was consistently courteous and helpful. Location excellent for hopping onto I25.

    However as of now (Jan 2025) there's road work outside, at night, and I didn't appreciate not being notified of that till after I reserved, checked in, and was in my room. They give you a white noise machine and ear plugs, that's nice, but it'd be better if you knew this was the case in advance. People might need to, you know, be really rested..

    The hotel is beautiful. We’ve stayed here before and have anlways enjoyed it. There’s plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Parking wasn’t bad whatsoever. Unfortunately, people were partying and the noise level was absolutely insane well past midnight. It made for a nearly sleepless night and was not a pleasant experience.

    We stayed here for one night and the hotel exceeded my expectations. The hotel feels very new and clean and our room was large and comfortable. The breakfast was also better than expected with hot and cold options and more of a lounge-y feel for seating. It's next to the University of Washington (short walk), so not near the main Seattle destinations/attractions. It's about a 10-15 minute ride by car north of downtown. I would stay again.

The itself was good.. but could have had a better sleep with pillows that are a bit supportive. Would definitely recommend 👍

    My wife and I came into Seattle for a (DateNight) a show @ the Neptune. Hotel was 1 1/2 blocks away from the theater. Staff at hotel were all friendly and helpful. The parking garage was underneath the hotel and locked by a steel gate we loved it didn’t have to worry about our car. The hotel was overall great the only thing I didn’t like was our window faces an alley and the bench seat in our handicap shower was loose bolts half way out so was worried but other than that we had a great time will definitely be staying here again when need be.

    The room was great and comfortable. The hallways of the hotel were freezing and the room temp was good once you put the heat up , however when you leave the room it automatically goes down so when you come back its a little too cool.

    We checked in at 3pm (1 hour early) without any problems. The room was very clean and as described. The Kitchen was very nice and had everything (even though we didn't use much of it). The beds were comfy and the HVAC system was quiet and worked well. Parking was easily accessed and secure and the continental breakfast was plentiful. The price was reasonable and I would stay here again.

    1. power outage for more than 2 hrs and the staff does not know what to do and does not have any info regarding the power outage. 2. wet carpet due to condensation from air condition unit. ***When we informed the front desk about the wet carpet, we were immediately transferred to a different room. 3. mold under the kitchen sink. 4. When we checked-in, I was not informed of a parking fee until I received an email from guest rep telling me that she is "comping" my parking fee to compensate for our inconvenience from the wet floor. I appreciate that she comp the parking fees but, with all the troubles (wet carpet, power outage, and mold under the sink), I believe I should have gotten a refund. 5. Noisy because of the construction that is going on by the front lobby/outside parking area.
