Top University District Hotel Reviews

The Paramount Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in an amazing location when it came to access to the convention buildings next door."

The Boylston Hotel Capitol Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I felt this was a great value for the neighborhood. You have your own room, bathroom (although the shower is right next to the bed and mine actually leaked a bit), a lounge/lobby with outlets and a bathroom, and free luggage storage. There were free Nespresso cups too. Staff was really polite. Location is perfect!"

Crowne Plaza Seattle - Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Business trip. Downtown with a fantastic view. 2 free bottles of water. Small fridge. Convenient but the elevators are really dumb. Walkable but no helps you at all with directions, recommendations, areas to visit, etc. Nice that they have a baggage porter. Would maybe stay again."

Coast Seattle Downtown Hotel by APA

10/10 Excellent

"pet-friendly room, and they know it's my partner's bday so they upgraded us to the highest floor. They didn't have to do that but they did. And they provided us with a list of recomended things to do and eat. Very helpful. The only this is the water bottle is not refreshed during the stay, but they have a nice water filling station next to the lobby. Great alternative to be green and didn cause any trouble at all."
