Hotel Details

Location

In Seattle's University District, two blocks from the U-District light rail station and a 15-minute walk from the UW campus.
The hotel sits within a 4-minute walk of the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture, and just over 2 km from Husky Stadium (accessible by light rail in about two minutes). The UW Medical Center is 2 km away, and Seattle Children's Hospital is also nearby. Pike Place Market is 7 km from the hotel via light rail to Westlake Station, while Seatac Airport is 27 km away with a direct light rail connection from the U-District station. Numerous restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores (including a Safeway and Trader Joe's) are within easy walking distance. While the area is walkable and well served by public transport, some nearby streets can feel less comfortable after dark; the hotel's main doors are locked and require a key card for access.

Dining

Complimentary hot breakfast buffet served daily; no on-site restaurant or bar.
The breakfast is included in the room rate and runs from 6:30 to 9:00 on weekdays and from 7:00 to 9:30 on weekends. The buffet features rotating hot items such as scrambled eggs, hot sandwiches, and burritos, alongside cereal, yogurt, pastries, whole fruit, and granola. The breakfast area has floor-to-ceiling windows for a bright, pleasant dining experience. While the selection is varied, it tends toward a standard business-class offering; guests wanting a more extensive choice or a wider menu for other meals can walk to numerous cafés and restaurants within a few blocks. A snack bar and minimarket on site provide light options.

Wellness and Leisure

A free fitness centre is available on site; no pool or spa facilities.
The fitness centre is equipped with cardio and strength training equipment and is open to all guests at no extra charge. There is no swimming pool, sauna, or spa. For outdoor leisure, the Burke Museum and Woodland Park Zoo are within a short walk or drive, respectively, and the UW campus offers a pleasant setting for walks and dog walking.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a quiet room away from the street if you are a light sleeper, as noise from the neighbourhood can be noticeable.

  • 02

    Use the U-District light rail station for quick, hassle-free trips downtown and to Seatac Airport.

  • 03

    Plan to order dinner via delivery apps if walking after dark feels uncomfortable; the front desk will accept and deliver orders to your room.
