Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location cannot be beat - incredibly convenient to UW campus, the Ave, and West Campus dorms. I love the European style of the hotel, relatively small, quaint and good use of shared spaces. I have stayed in rooms with and without a bathroom and both arrangements work fine. The common area "Loft" has shared a shared, fridge, microwave and toaster, coffee/tea, and chairs/tables to spread out to eat, chill, read, work or play games. I could go on and on but do need to mention the consistently awesome staff. The property is clean and well maintained. Even with remote check in options and not always seeing someone at the entry desk, they are always responsive and helpful via text or phone. If you can't do stairs, this is probably not the best match. However, there may be accessibility options that I am not aware of.

Unfortunately, I did not have a great stay at the College Inn. The street noise was the main culprit - There is a popular cafe underneath the Inn and college students/patrons were very loud past 2am on a Tuesday night. The bathrooms are shared, which normally wouldn't be so bad if you weren't in town for a colonoscopy the next morning. Nightmare. I suppose I can only blame myself on that one. There is no elevator, so if you have lots of heavy baggage it may not be a suitable accommodation. On the plus side, check-in was setup fairly well. The Inn rooms are very nice and clean. My experience might have been much better on a different night, so take it with a grain of salt.

This dorm style hotel is quite worn and my room smelled like smoke. Also, there is no elevator so you have to carry all your luggage up steep stairs (the staff did not offer to help). It is a very cheap option for staying in the U District, but you get what you pay for.

This property was so cute and very convenient. We went to the Neptune for a comedy show. It was extremely walkable and has good restaurants around it. For some people it might be a detriment to not have a bathroom but it actually was not bad. The room has a sink in it . Like I said very cute room!!

We loved the location and access to UW and all the shops and cafes in the area. The loft was also great to get work done, have a quiet conversation and a cup of tea. The only minor request is if there could be a stack of clean bathmats available in the shower area.
