Graduate by Hilton Seattle
Staying right next to my daughter's dorm was a huge plus, especially when our flight got delayed and we had to book last minute. The hotel exceeded expectations despite a slightly basic bathroom — everything else was top-notch. I absolutely loved the artwork on the first floor; it gave the space such a unique, vibrant vibe. The room was clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Being so close to campus made everything super convenient. Overall, an excellent choice for both business and family visits. Would definitely come back.
Staybridge Suites Seattle - Fremont
I was assigned a room facing the street on arrival, which was quite noisy—definitely not ideal. However, the front desk kindly rearranged me to a quieter interior room, and that made a huge difference. The new room had windows that opened, allowing for fresh air and a more pleasant atmosphere. The space was generous, the bed was comfortable, and I slept well throughout my stay. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight—amazing views of the city, especially at sunset. It’s also just a 15-minute walk from a great variety of restaurants, including one Thai place that stood out for its authentic flavors and reasonable prices. Breakfast was included and surprisingly good—plenty of options, fresh ingredients, and well-prepared. While some facilities showed signs of age, they didn’t detract from the overall experience. Cleanliness, staff friendliness, and the convenient location really made up for it. I’d definitely stay here again.
Residence Inn Seattle University District
The service here was absolutely outstanding—front desk staff were always smiling, friendly, and incredibly helpful. It’s clear why Marriott properties consistently deliver such a great experience. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good for North America: fresh bread, oatmeal, milk, and coffee—all standard but well-prepared and satisfying. What really stood out was the kitchenette in the room; having a small kitchen made cooking meals so convenient, especially for those of us who prefer familiar flavors. Plus, being just steps away from Trader Joe’s is a game-changer for grabbing snacks, groceries, or essentials. Public transit access to downtown Seattle is super easy, and everything feels safe and well-maintained. This place offers incredible value and comfort—definitely one of the best stays I’ve had in Seattle. I’ll be back without hesitation.
Staypineapple, Watertown Hotel, University District Seattle
I stayed at Staypineapple-Watertown Hotel in the University District, Seattle, and was thoroughly impressed. The room was clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—minimalist but functional with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep. While basic toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste weren’t provided (which I actually appreciate for hygiene and sustainability), the room came equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker—perfect for grabbing a quick snack or brewing a morning brew. What really stood out was the location: just a short walk to the University of Washington campus, and within easy reach of local restaurants, cafes, and shopping spots. Public transit is convenient too—getting around the city is a breeze. It’s a great choice for students, solo travelers, or anyone looking for a no-frills yet stylish stay in a vibrant neighborhood. Highly recommend!
Silver Cloud Hotel - Seattle University of Washington District
Staying at the Silver Cloud Hotel in the Seattle University District was an absolute pleasure. The room was spotless and immaculately clean—every corner felt fresh, which made me feel comfortable from the moment I stepped in. We booked a compact suite with a king bed and a sleeper sofa, separated by a sliding door—basically a mini living room combined with a bedroom. This layout worked perfectly for us, especially since we could close the door for privacy when needed. It’s ideal for travelers who want some space without sacrificing convenience. The location is fantastic—just a 5-minute walk to UW Valley shopping area, where you’ll find Din Tai Fung, several restaurants, and plenty of shops to explore. Breakfast was standard American style—simple but satisfying, with good coffee and a nice variety of options. Staff were friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The overall experience was top-notch, and I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seattle, whether for business or leisure. Great value, excellent service, and unbeatable location.

Staying at the Courtyard Seattle Northgate was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The room was spotless, with a clean and well-maintained layout that made for a relaxing stay. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help without being intrusive. I appreciated how easy it was to get around; the hotel is just minutes away from public transit, making downtown access simple and convenient. Nearby shopping centers and dining options added to the overall appeal. For the quality of service, cleanliness, and location, this hotel offers exceptional value. I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Seattle.
Birdhouse on GreenLake
We switched from a traditional hotel to a vacation rental to avoid high parking fees, and it was such a smart move. Green Lake has always been one of our favorite spots in Seattle, so we searched for a place nearby—this one was perfect. Just a short walk from the lake, quiet, cozy, and ideal for a couple. The full kitchen was a real bonus—we cooked meals every night, which saved us money and added to the homey feel. Natural light floods in during the day, and the view from the window? Pure serenity. We felt like we were staying in a little retreat, not just a room. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a peaceful, authentic Seattle experience with great value.
Staypineapple, University Inn, University District Seattle
Staying at Staypineapple University Inn in Seattle was such a delightful experience from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by Dash, the adorable little dog who adds so much charm and warmth to the whole place. The complimentary afternoon tea with their signature pineapple cookies was a sweet surprise—perfectly balanced and made for a relaxing break. I also loved that every room comes with a reusable water bottle—eco-friendly, stylish, and practical. The attention to detail throughout the property is impressive: clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Being located right in the heart of the University District makes it super convenient for exploring local cafes, shops, and restaurants. It’s not just a hotel—it feels like a home away from home. I can’t wait to come back!
Hotel Nexus, BW Signature Collection
Staying at Hotel Nexus was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk to downtown Seattle and surrounded by great dining options. The room was clean, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. What stood out most was the incredible value for money—luxury amenities without the luxury price tag. It’s rare to find such a well-designed hotel with such attention to detail at this price point. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seattle, whether for business or leisure. Definitely planning to stay here again on my next trip.
College Inn Hotel
I chose to stay near the University of Washington because I’d heard the downtown area isn’t the safest, and honestly, this was one of my best decisions. The College Inn Hotel feels just like a college dorm from an American TV show—clean, cozy, and full of charm. The European-style decor adds a nice touch, and it’s super convenient for exploring campus and nearby spots. The only thing to note is that our luggage was quite bulky, and without an elevator, carrying it up the stairs was a bit of a challenge—definitely need some stamina! But overall, the experience was fantastic. Great value, excellent location, and a really welcoming vibe. I’d definitely book here again.
Days Inn by Wyndham Seattle North of Downtown
My stay at Days Inn by Wyndham Seattle North of Downtown was absolutely fantastic! The manager went above and beyond—warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive to every detail. They gave me some great local dining tips and even arranged extended checkout, which made my departure so much easier. The room was spotless, the location is perfect for exploring downtown Seattle, and the staff’s dedication really sets this place apart. It’s clear they care about guest comfort and satisfaction. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I’ll be back for sure!
