5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We had a great stay at this hotel! The university area is full of funky little ethnic restaurants, and there are lovely strolling areas, both on the beautiful campus and on the neighboring streets which are full of old turn of the century homes, including many large "mansions' which are now sorority houses. Although it is outside of the downtown... More

Very clean, friendly, but small, peculiar layout, mixture of modern and eclectic decor..smack dab in the middle of nowhere...if your visiting Seattle stay downtown....Watertown is likely a fantastic budget hotel or great spot if your visiting the university.

Yes. I believe we do a fair amount of traveling and we have been to many hotels in this price range in various different cities around the world.

Easy access off the I5 if you are coming from north of Seattle, and that's a good thing as the traffic going into Seattle always seems to be bad. Complimentary parking also a good thing as it is really expensive to park downtown. They have a free hourly shuttle downtown so again you can avoid the parking hassle. It was... More

We chose this hotel for the location near UW and for the underground parking as we didn't want to have to totally unload our car, including bikes, for only one night. More expensive than we would normally pay but the trip was partially business. We w ere upgraded to a very nice, large room with sofa and comfortable chair and... More
