Cons: The web page showed a indoor swimming pool, we picked this hotel because the pool looked nice. A very disappointed 5 year old, try to explain to a 5 year old that we are not going swimming.

Pros: The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. We needed directions to the UW Medical center and they got us there no problem. By the way, if you have to go to the Medical Center this is an ideal location, very easy to get to from the Watertown.
The rooms are comfortably spacious and well appointed. Hardwood floors which is a nice change, since my husband and I both have allergies. There are windows in the room that open for fresh air. Drapes that cover all windows and provide a dark sleeping space, should you like that. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding is allergen free - no feathers! They provide parking at no additional charge.

They even have a brochure detailig all the restaraunts within walking distance. They thought of everything!!!

Cons: Confusing access/approach to hotel (no driveway and "no parking" signs in front). Should get a loading zone at minimum.
There's a garage entry, but no signage telling you how to contact front desk or to check in.
None would be a problem if you arrive without a rental car.

Pros: Always a comfortable bed at StayPineapple. Large room for Seattle.
Cons: The tv was tiny for such a large room. 27-32” is just tiny these days.
7.6 Good
Pros: Free parking, walk to any UW event....
Cons: They used to do interesting little things to enhance the experience. Now it is just a Hampton or a Courtyard with slightly better art. Also, they assign rooms based on how you made the reservation. My Kayak reservation got me a second floor room next to the elevator, with a view of the dumpster and a coupon for a discount if I booked directly next time. I've stayed in the hotel many many and made the reservation months in advance for a very special occasion. I was disappointed this time..

They provide parking at no additional charge.
Cons: There was a heating unit in the room that we could not get to turn off, so our rest was interrupted during the night. The coffee maker did not work. Not enough chairs in the room; There was a desk chair that was it. No schedule for the TV so could not figure out which channel was which. There is not an identified space in front of the hotel for temporary parking while you go check in.

Cons: This was my first time in Seattle. Even though the hotel was excellent, I think I will try and get closer to the Space Needle area if I go back. (I should have done more research on the area I wanted to stay in- which is my fault) BUT it is a superb hotel and would be excellent if you are visiting someone at the University. There is nothing I can say that is negative about this hotel!

Cons: The wifi was very slow. Although the hotel has a pool, there is no fitness center on site; you need to walk a block to the sister hotel to use the fitness center. Parking is limited.
6.8 Good
Pros: Front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. Free shuttle to Westlake Center was convenient.
Cons: No free shuttle to/from airport. Had to use Shuttle Express at $19 per person per trip.
Terribly slow elevator, and no way to enter stairwell from first floor except by going through the pool area (when it is unlocked).
No ice machines, but pre-bagged ice frozen into solid clumps.
No on-site laundry. Laundry at sister property Watertown one block away is inconvenient, as it is just a stacked W/D in a tiny closet with nowhere to sit nearby while you wait.
When changing rooms, we accidentally left a few items of clothing in the wardrobe. We realized this a few hours later, but the items were gone and the room service staff claimed they had not seen them. I take this to mean they either disposed of them or stole them. No compensation was offered. I cannot recommend staying here.

4.6 Okay
Pros: This was a good location for me. I liked the fact that they had balcony a (although we were locked in) and I liked the simple fun decor
Cons: We could not get the room cooled off even with air conditioner on high. Next to elevator which had a gruntled noise with every up/down traveler. No access to the balcony we had (one reason we secured here) we were actually locked in... I mentioned this to the attendant when we were up at 3am - uncomfortably so with heat and noise. They didn't offer anything other than an apology.

Cons: Our first night in Seattle, excited to see the city. For $300 ($721 for two nights total) we had no view from a smallish room. No hotel rooftop view, either. The surrounding neighborhood felt dicey--'yellow alert' safe with mostly people begging at the grocery store two blocks away. My teenage daughter and I walked around to find a resto and decided it felt safer to drive, because the whole neighborhood was run down (tho new dorm? construction everywhere) and several characters hanging en masse on the sidewalk a couple blocks over made us feel unsafe. Bad vibe. Not a good intro to Seattle. It's far from the downtown. Since you have to pay for parking at the hotel, it sucks to pay even more to park downtown. Other folks at hotel seemed happy to be there but I felt bad about choosing this one for our first two nights.
9.0 Excellent
Pros: We got upgraded to a suite, it was perfect for our family to stay overnight. We will definitely stay again next time we are in Seattle.
Cons: The staff member that checked us in told us we would be able to check in early around 3:00 p.m. and that we could wait in the lobby or they would call us on my cell phone as soon as the room was ready. We never received a call, so came back after dinner around 8:00 pm to pick up our key. Thank goodness we didn't wait in the lobby! The staff that was working when we returned was much more competent and friendly.
5.3 Okay
Pros: The staff was very helpful. It was also a good value. And despite the sketchiness and peeling walls, it wasn't creepy.
Cons: The rooms were a bit sketchy, although clean. There was definitely a lingering smell of smoke and I started sneezing whenever I entered. The bathroom had peeling paint, and the worst thing was the non-existent business center. It was two computers in the middle of the lobby where everyone checks in, so they were literally on top of you, and the printer was over by the reception desk, so it wasn't even a room.

Pros: It was so cozy and comfortable. My friend and I were here both for business and leisure, I had an interview and I extended it to explore Seattle. This location was perfect, right next to the school and off a fun street with many options for food. The hotel offered movies in the common area as well as coffee and hot chocolate at all times. The room had a lovely bench that overlooked the street and it was just perfect for what this trip was.

Pros: This was much like a european hostel, but nicer. My room was furnished with antiques. The bed was very comfortable. There were many thick towels and the handsoap was luxurious. I came here, because the College Inn is located directly across the street from Gould Hall where I attended a Gala/Reunion, but I was very pleasantly surprised and I will stay here again. The location is convenient to the UW Campus and the continental breakfast was great. I got to read the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the local paper too.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: The staff and service was awful. We had to share towels because we never got how many we asked for and the front desk employee was incredible rude.
4.2 Okay
Pros: location was great. in the middle of the university of washington "u-district" adjacent to the school.
Cons: this is pretty much a hostel that charges hotel prices. bare bones room and shared bathroom out of an old film noir flick. so much was broken and in disrepair. chair broken, dresser drawer handle broken, shower head in shared bathroom broken, toilet paper dispenser broken. wifi didn't work and wasn't fixed. i would have been satisfied to pay $20 for hostel prices and then even $20 more for the location, but $136/night plus taxes was a ripoff. Staff was nice and apologetic, the convenience store, though also bare bones, was open 7a-1a.

Cons: I did not know what european style meant before hand, so I was in for a surprise when I learned about the communal bathrooms. But the manager was really nice about explaining the situation and handled my confusion very well. Other than that, which was my own mistake for not knowing beforehand, we had no complaints. Lovely stay.

Pros: The location is very good. Easy access to University of Washington, so it is good for students.
Cons: My friends stayed there fore more than 2 weeks. One of them stayed at a single room. It was located next to the stairs. Even at midnight whenever people use the stairs, there were big noises and he could not sleep a bit.
The room was not clean enough even after house keeping service. That was a big problem.
