Attended a 20 year reunion right across the street. I always loved this building and spent MANY hours eating downstairs when it was a cafe. Never in all those years saw the hotel part though until now. And it has to be the best place to stay in the UW area hands down.

Location, price, and lovely attic with free coffee and tea at all times.

N/A

Right next to UW's main campus, clean, comfortable rooms, helpful staff, upstairs lounge with complete kitchen. Shower curtains with prints of pandas riding orcas are amusing.

Know what you're getting. This hotel has no elevator, the bathroom's down the hall for most rooms, and the only microwave/fridge are in the suite or shared 4th-floor lounge. That was fine with me.

Good location and nice character

Bathroom facilities were old and shabby. The bed was also uncomfortable and felt old.

There was no breakfast

Bed was too soft

It’s a nice place. People attending were kind. Excelente location.

My problem was the bathroom shared, that is out of the room. However, I didn’t find somebody else in my visits to the bathroom. The room doesn’t have A/C. Both fans weren’t enough in the afternoon.

Loft room is great fir families - spacious, with couches for lounging, big enough dining room table, good cooking facilities.

The lift is pretty warm on hot days (over 80F) and the air conditioning can’t really handle it.

The shared bathrooms were impeccably clean. Room had everything we were expecting

Our neighbour decided to listen to music all night long. He had a good taste though

The hotel is quirky and fun. The loft room was spacious and unique. Beds were comfortable.

This building has no air conditioning. A portable unit was placed in our room and it helped a bit. It was still pretty warm.

Beds were super comfortable and the showers were nice too

Nothing

The location is fantastic. We happened to be here the week after UW gradation so we parked on street no problem. Checkin was super easy and there is an after hours checkin should you arrive late. The room was great, updated but nostalgic. There was virtually no sound from the other rooms and just a little from the street. We are a family of 4 and had a 2 bedroom location, which was plenty of room. The location to buses and access to the rest of the city was wonderful. There are many college dives for eating and drinking, my husband continued to want to try them all, well past the point of no return. There are some great spots within walking distance, Burke Museum, UW library. We would easily stay here again. Be sure to check out the shared communal floor. We didn’t do this until the last day, coffee and hot chocolate!

The windows in the rooms are gorgeous, but check the locks. Our kids wanted to sit on the bench with the windows open, but they are too rambunctious. Just a wee too easy for a little guy to slip out. There are more people on the streets here than other spots in Seattle. There was no one camping, and no one approached us, but depending on where you’re from this might catch you off guard. We never felt unsafe though.
