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

Elevator broken but otherwise good
Pros:

Easy stay in U district. Rooms are well maintained and clean.

Be aware one of the two elevators to the room floors is down so there are long waits for the one working one.

It is not your five stars downtown Seattle hotel , I choose for the convenient and great rate with Marriott Bonvoy PE member for few day during my girl paying visit to her niece trendy stylish welcoming laid back atmosphere with professional front staff , included free breakfast rooms already upgrade so spacious with comfy clean bedding nice modern bathroom , no restaurant on site but fully equipped kitchen plus launderette accessible with safe walking distance to variety restaurants , coffee shops and shopping plus the UW ! but very impressed me the most is the Inn staff so polite friendly accommodating , you never get that kinds service in any 5 stars hotel downtown ! Thinking to visit Seattle make sure check the Inn first you will surprise how much money you saving !

Very bad trip
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Only one Elevator is working and always long line. I was about to delay the campus tour.
Also some of front desk staff did not respond our request. The room card key was not working. I couldn’t walk in the lobby floor from stairway door since elevator was occupied always.

Pros:

We loved that this room had everything in the kitchen that you would need it was such a great deal. And felt like a home away from home spot.

Cons:

Wish the breakfast had more options like a waffle maker, and potatoes for breakfast , and food trays to carry up to your room if you preferred to eat in your room.
