Concierge "This quirky 11-story hotel in the heart of Downtown is so animal-friendly that if you don't come with a pet, you can "adopt" a goldfish for the length of your visit."
Fodor's "Thanks to a massive $5.2-million renovation completed in 2012, the once slightly dated 189-room hotel has sprung back to life with a modern-meets-global look." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Like a moneyed earth mother who trolls Whole Foods for overpriced organics, this 189-room hotel strikes an odd balance between simple elegance and conspicuous glitziness." Full review
DK Eyewitness "What was once a phone company’s switching center is now a sophisticated hotel. All rooms come with a CD stereo."
Rough Guide "Luxurious boutique hotel with designer furnishings, plus a striking lobby, gym and elegant suites with CD players and flat-screen TVs – some with jacuzzis, too."
Star Service "Within walking distance of the waterfront, convention center, Pike Place Market and Seattle Art Museum, this hallmark of Northwest attitude and style is an icon in the city." Full review

Some of the standard rooms are on the small side, so it's best to request one of the larger deluxe rooms.
Gayot "This hotel is anything but drab. Yellow, red and blue jewel-toned accents dominate in the guest rooms, meeting rooms and lobby."
BlackBook "Ceiling prints of fish and coral in the lobby, bright strawberry and cream striped wallpaper in the rooms, leopard print robes for taking intentionally bad Facebook photos."

"Guest are "blown away by the red carpet treatment" at this "beautiful" Downtown boutique with "character to spare"."

There is also a small but well-equipped fitness center, and the hotel offers flexible meeting space, but it’s the thoughtful extras that elevate the stay, including free wine hours, free morning coffee, loaner bikes, and even a goldfish on request.

For more space and the best views, opt for one of the "premier rooms," which have large windows and extra-comfy beds.
DK Eyewitness "Parents and students reserve early to save their spot at the University Inn, a non-smoking property located only three blocks from the University of Washington."
DK Eyewitness "This budget hotel is just a few blocks from the University District and I-5, so downtown is only a quick drive away."
Rough Guide "Business-oriented hotel close to the University of Washington. Some rooms have kitchens, all have complimentary breakfast; there’s also a pool and spa and free wi-fi."
Gayot "This 102-room, former motor hotel in the University District is one of the many relics leftover from the era when the World's Fair came to town."
Not For Tourists "Daily, weekly and monthly stay options."
Fodor's "With funky décor and family-friendly amenities, the cheerful University Inn is just four blocks from the University of Washington campus." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"What pushes this spotless, modern, well-located place over the edge into greatness is, believe it or not, the waffles served at the complimentary breakfast. They’re amazing." Full review
