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.

First Stay, but not the Last
Pros:

This was our first stay at this hotel. The location gave us excellent access to I-5, the UW campus and many restaurants in the U-District. Even better was the close proximity to the U-District light rail station. There is secured parking in the basement. The room layouts are efficiently designed to provide good use of the space. We will definitely return again when visiting the U-District.

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.
