Wonderful
Pros:

The rooms are very well appointed with full kitchen and plenty of space. It's not too far to the University metro stop or the campus. Breakfast is decent and there's more spacious seating options than at a lot of hotels with included breakfast.

Cons:

The fee for the parking, but there is parking on the street if you pay attention to the metered times.

It’s a beautiful place with strong safety precautions taken and a delicious breakfast.
Pros:

It felt safe. It was clean. The room was nice and comfortable. The breakfast was great. One of the best hotel breakfasts I have experienced.

Cons:

The price. But, it was equivalent or better than other in the area. The parking lot is so tight. We have a minivan and it felt like we barely fit.

Good location, comfortable hotel
Pros:

The studio was large and comfortable. We were able to play games at the dining table. We were visiting the University of Washington and were able to walk there for our tour. We would stay there again.

Cons:

We didn't love the breakfast options the days we were there. Our kids would have liked pancakes, a waffle maker and maybe biscuits. The packaged waffles and packaged breakfast sandwiches weren't great. I thought the oatmeal bar was fantastic.

Seattle Overnight
Pros:

Rooms were very clean and well stocked.

Cons:

The front desk didn't know if my room was handicap accessible and gave me a room very far instead of the room that was ADA accessible and closer to the elevator
