Concierge "Though its central location makes the Arctic Club ideal year-round, in summer you can stroll the waterfront, just five blocks from the hotel."
Condé Nast Traveler "Such attention to detail, paired with equally attentive staff, makes the hotel warm and welcoming." Full review
Star Service "This is one of Doubletree's most intriguing properties to date and the polar opposite of its 800-room sibling near the airport. It has an upscale twist that makes a great first impression." Full review

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
