A charming old hotel, updated very nicely. The location is great, right on the UW campus, walking distance to a good variety of restaurants, mostly Asian and quick-service to cater to all the students. Street parking might be tricky during the day, but was not an issue overnight. The hotel was impressively clean and didn't show its age. The heater took a while to get the room warmed up, but that didn't bother us much. There is a hostel-style communal area with fridges and a kitchen for guest use. We will definitely keep this place in mind next time we need a place in Seattle.
