"The property is well located for visiting the Space Needle. The room was clean, neat, and nicely appointed. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed sitting on the rooftop terrace while watching the ships go by. Unfortunately ,Seattle’s homeless are everywhere (not the fault of the hotel). We would stay here again."

Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District

8/10 Good
"The staff here are friendly and helpful. The room is very clean and pretty much in good condition. This is not my first time here. The parking fee is a bit too pricey in my opinion but their parking area is safe and easy in and out. The gym is nice and clean. Location is excellent. Walking a couple blocks and there are lots of restaurants, coffee places. I can walk to Trader Joe’s easily. Laundry room is very clean and easy to use with PayRange apps. The only two things I found that are not in perfect condition this time was the following: 1) one side of closet door was stuck and 2) the shower gel pump did not work. I believe if I let them know, they would come and fix it. This time I only stayed for 2 nights so I did not bother about it. I let them know when I checked out and the staff apologized and gave me complimentary parking. I will definitely go back to this hotel. They always made me feel welcome. I hope Marriott knows they got really good team at this hotel."

Seattle at its Best - a Great Neighborhood for Walking!!

Seattle at its Best - a Great Neighborhood for Walking!!

10/10 Excellent
"Cozy, cute basement apt. That is in a very quiet neighborhood! Garnett was really great to communicate with before and after we arrived to the apt. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom and plenty of really nice clean linens and towels. Bed was super comfortable and big and there’s a portable AC unit in the bedroom that you can turn on and use for a while which cooled down the apt. And then, turn it off and use a standing fan if you need some air circulation throughout the night. The location is perfect: So walkable! Everything: Restaurants, grocery store (QFC), Walgreens, etc. all within 10 minutes of walking. Highly recommend to anyone needing a nice quiet apt. And within walking distance of so many amenities at the same time."
