My teenage daughters and I stayed at the University Inn during a visit to University of Washington for a college tour. The hotel is conveniently located for a walk to the campus (about 10 minutes away). The hotel itself is very pleasant, despite its outward appearance. It has free parking, a free shuttle to several downtown Seattle locations, and complementary afternoon snacks, and breakfasts, as well as tea and coffee available in the lobby at all times. The room ( two queens) was sizeable and clean, with a second vanity. The airconditioning was a little loud, and there was only one bedside reading lamp when there probably should have been one on each side of each bed. These were the only drawbacks to the hotel.
The staff at the hotel is wonderful, and extremely helpful with maps, directions, and record store advice. Valarie in Housekeeping was fantastic, locating and returning an item left behind very promptly. I would highly recommend this hotel, even if you aren't planning on visiting the University, as a very good value.
