Hotel Details

Location

Located in the vibrant University District, the hotel is a 7-minute walk from the University of Washington campus, steps from the Link Light Rail station, and surrounded by eclectic dining and shops on 'The Ave'.
The hotel sits in the heart of the U District, providing immediate access to UW, Husky Stadium, and the UW Medical Center. The Link Light Rail station (University of Washington) is a 3-5 minute walk, offering direct, inexpensive connections to Downtown Seattle ($3.65) and Sea-Tac Airport. Major attractions like the Space Needle (6 km), Pike Place Market (15-minute drive), and Seattle Center are easily reachable. The Burke-Gilman Trail for biking and Cowen Park are within walking distance. Spring visitors can enjoy the UW Cherry Blossom Festival just a 10-minute walk away.

Accommodation

Rooms include University Queen, Two Queen, Washington King, King Junior Suite with sofa bed, and an accessible Queen room. All feature air conditioning, Keurig coffee maker, mini fridge, flat-screen TV, work desk, and bathrobes.
Each room is equipped with cloud-like European-style individual duvets and plush towels, creating the 'Naked Experience'. Select rooms (Deluxe/Premier) include a microwave. All rooms have a private bathroom. Some rooms feature a locked balcony (for fire safety, not usable). For light sleepers, request a room away from the street and elevator, as soundproofing is minimal. Rooms are clean and well-maintained but can feel dated in places. The King Junior Suite adds a queen sleeper sofa and sitting area, accommodating up to 4 guests.

Dining

No on-site restaurant or breakfast service. Enjoy a complimentary welcome drink (wine, beer, or non-alcoholic), afternoon coffee and pineapple treats in the lobby (3:30-6:30 PM), and in-room Keurig coffee.
The property offers a Quick Bites & Bevvies cooler with snacks, locally sourced craft beer, and wine for purchase. The adjacent Portage Bay Cafe serves breakfast and lunch. The U District's 'The Ave' is lined with diverse restaurants (Thai, Korean, vegan, Mexican, and more) within a 5-minute walk. A Trader Joe's is also nearby for self-catering. No breakfast is included in the room rate, and no breakfast add-on is available.

Wellness and Leisure

Seasonal outdoor heated pool open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM, mid-June through September. Complimentary bicycle rentals available for exploring the area.
The pool is a standout feature for warm-weather stays - heated and open to all guests without reservation. Bicycles are free and ideal for reaching the Burke-Gilman Trail, UW campus, or nearby parks. No spa, fitness center, or hot tub is available. The pool is closed during the rest of the year (October through May).

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi in all areas, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, elevator, accessible parking, safety deposit box, daily housekeeping (every other day), and pet amenities.
Parking costs $25 per night and is on-site (no reservation needed). A refundable incidental hold of $50 per night (capped at $200) is required at check-in. The pet fee is $25 per night and includes a pet bed, bowls, and waste bags. Bicycle storage is available in a secure area. The property is entirely smoke-free. No business center or airport shuttle is available; the Link Light Rail is the recommended transit option. Laundry services are not mentioned; check with the front desk.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the Link Light Rail (University of Washington station is a short walk) for airport transfers and downtown access - fares start at $3.65 per person and avoid parking fees.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the street and elevator to minimize noise; street-facing rooms and thin walls can be disruptive for light sleepers.

  • 03

    Account for the daily amenity fee ($20-$25 per night) and parking ($25 per night) when comparing total cost, as these are mandatory and can significantly increase the effective nightly rate.

  • 04

    Choose a Deluxe or Premier room if you need a microwave, as standard rooms include only a fridge but not a microwave.
