Top University District Hotel Reviews

Coast Gateway Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice, efficient stay for one night."

The Belltown Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It is an older hotel but maintained well. We stayed here before and after our cruise and will do it again. The employees are very friendly and will help you if they can. They have a security guard 24/7. The front door is locked. They have coffee and cold water for you all the time. The AC is a quiet AC being an older building. Walking distance to the Parket and the needle."

Renaissance Seattle Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean but it has some issues. For example the shower head was falling out of the wall and the floors were wet when we checked into our room. We were also told we were only aloud one water bottle a day which seemed crazy. But overall it was clean and safe and has water and food for purchase."

Graduate by Hilton Seattle

8/10 Good

"The room and lobby etc was very clean and well proportioned however the restaurant was more of a pub so not a regular menu. The breakfast shop was very sparse. A bit overpriced. You pay for the location being near the university. Worth a one night stay. Restaurants about two blocks away."
