There are stairs to the front door. There is a handrail, but only on one side. The handrail is not extremely sturdy, and it does not reach the top of the staircase. It was very challenging for me to navigate and I had to ask someone else to get my luggage down the steps. The gravel parking lot was acceptable, but difficult to maneuver in. To drive out, it was necessary to go down a narrow alley and exit on the next block. Otherwise, it was a peaceful stay. We slept well on the comfortable beds.

The building is an old house converted into rooms. It has no one working on the property so you let yourself in with the Inn's phone app. I had difficulty with it at first but someone answered my SMS message quickly and helped me get in. After that all was fine, you just need to make sure your phone is charged.
The room was an average size with a small desk. The bathroom had a large floor space. Everything was clean.
The air conditioning worked. There was a Smart TV. If you wanted streaming, though, you needed to use your own accounts.
The parking was in a back alley off the street. It did look like their was street parking available by the inn.
The area is out of downtown, maybe a 40 minute walk to Pike Market. It seemed like a safer area close to residential houses.
In general, for the price, I think it is a good place to stay.

Cost wise, a decent place to stay. You’ll need to take a bit from downtown to the hotel. Property was across the street from Seattle University. My first impressions when you walk up the outside steps was this is a place in need of serious repairs. I had a problem getting in since I booked with a particular website, but a very helpful person who I had to call ( no one on site) told me how to get into the lock box. Inside looks like a converted rooming house but the room was decent, for the price. A large supermarket was a long walk away. I wouldn’t choose the stay in this place again but for traveling on a budget it is decent.

The only thing that worked was the heater...until it didn’t. The absolute freezing temperature in the meat locker, I mean, bathroom caused me to check out a day esrly.

Having a staff-free place to stay ended up being pretty frustrating. Parking was confusing, the neighborhood was not as clean and inviting as you would think. The rooms are definitely not as nice as the pictures. The first room we got wasn't what we reserved, and there was no door for the bathroom, just a sheer curtain. I had some issues with my card and needed to change it and I couldn't get a hold of anybody before check in. So keep in mind that if you need anything ahead of time or have questions you won't get any response until after 3:00 p.m. The day you check in. This this just wasn't very pleasant place to stay.

I know people are picky about beds, but the bed situation here was something else entirely. Marshmallow-soft, extremely sinky, to the point where it was hard to move around and even sit up. And I'm a lightweight! The foam basically cocoons you.

It's a cozy space, but you'll likely be in for a rough sleep and some back pain.

Well, using the hotel's app to get entry without a live person sounded nice in a techy way. Unfortunately the app sucked, it just didn't work, got \"error\" msgs with multiple attempts while fumbling in the cold outside the placeat night. Also, no live person to answer phone call, must text and wait fora return call. Ended up prying a physical keycard out of a coded lockbox on the door to get into the place. Room #203 w king bed was basic and fine, some long brown hair on bathroom counter but otherwise not too worn down, fairly clean. Sleep interrupted by loud thumping bass guitar riffs played repetitively from 10pm until past1am, impossible to sleep. If the app had worked as promised and there was no loud noise at night, place woulda been fine for the price. But, as it was, it was a disappointing experience.

The whole process was really not good. The instructions for checking in and getting a key was lacking, leaving us rather stranded in front waiting for some level of communication. The pre-call was both inconvenient (customer service at the convenience of the company, not the customer) and problematic (call was dropped 4 times, eventually they gave up on providing any instructions).

The bed had someone's hair in it, it looked like it had been slept in, only straightened, not well made. The coffee machine in the room was broken and dirty from previous guests also seemingly trying to make it work.

We made 2 bookings at the Art Inn, from Oct. 12 to 13 for 2
persons and parking, and from Oct. 13 to 14 for 1 person, no parking.

We arrived at the Art Inn on Oct. 12 around 5pm, at that time the
outside temperature was 54 degrees. Entering the room it turned out
that it was not heated. (Heat and Air-Conditioning was supposedly
provided by an old-fashioned wall unit.) We tried for a while to turn
on the heat, following the posted instructions, but failed.

Eventually we contacted the management who told us to do what we had
already done repeatedly. We tried for another hour to get the heat
working but failed. During the exchanges we also found out a weird
feature of their heating system: \"Our AC system is interconnected so
all machines in the building need to be on the same setting\" and
\"Someone in another room changed the setting\"... How can that be ?

Eventually, around 6:30 pm, we decided to leave. Only then a different
room was offered but there was no indication if the heat in this room
was working and/or if it had the same weird feature. So we left around
6:40 pm after another failed attempt to get the heat to work.

The management offered refund for the first but not the second night.

We feel that it is the responsibility of the hotel to make sure
that a room is in order BEFORE a guest arrives. The ART INN has
definitely failed in this aspect.

Demanding a refund for the second day is the least we can ask for as a
compensation for the waste of time, freezing, an

It’s ok. The room itself was reasonably clean, though the smell of bleach was so strong when I first came in I had to open windows wide for a hot minute. The app-driven door locks were frustrating at first but I got the hang of it. There doesn’t seem to be any staff, so thankfully I never let my phone charge run out completely. The parking area is terrible. Broken vehicle glass in the parking spot, and the alley it’s in is mostly impassable without off-road capable vehicle. On the other hand the location is convenient.

This moldy Airbnb was deceptively classified as a 3 star hotel. Sadly, we paid a huge price for a sham. I can’t unsmell the smell of the rooms -old mold. Moreover, the sheets appeared lightly used and fluffed for the next victim/guest.I itched like hell each night.And oh,the bugs and the giant mosquitoes in the claustrophobic basement. We were unprepared to be in a dungeon,changing rooms made no differ
The tight bathrooms with dark small shower stalls were irky especially with black mold inbetween the joints.
Due to the dinginess of the whole place we intentionally stayed out till very late to limit our exposure to the whole junk. I have never in my life spent a night in a hotel worse than this and I mostly use 3 or 4 star hotel.We were duped.This is morally wrong. This place is a joke . They used the Art picture to create a deceptive image. Unfortunately, they are able to get away with this crime because most victims have paid and can’t get their money back.The Art Inn of Seattle needs public health inspection.It is unfair. I am a healthcare professional and was tempted to call and report immediately. Exposing visitors to mold is evil.
Expedia and other sites must remove them from their list until they address these issues which looks chronic because the rooms reeks the smell. Please covering evil with while comforters and art pictures does not make evil go away. This needs to be checked and addressed. We were seriously traumatized and dreaded every of our 3 nights there.

I did not receive communication via text when I was in contact with the phone number provided and did not receive an email back in that time. My call logs do not reflect an attempt to get into contact with me despite my attempts to reach out. Due to the significant inconvenience we faced I tried to contact the owner to ask for a refund for the troubles we experienced but two days later I have not heard from them.

First and foremost, the communication was incredible. Clear instructions for how to get there, where the parking was, and how to access the rooms.

They were also very quick to respond. I had some questions and heard back quickly each time.

Accessing the rooms was easy! There were no on-site staff members to help but it’s not needed. You download the app and have access to your room through your phone.

The rooms were very clean and fun, too! It’s built out in a massive house and they’ve done a great job. Very much separate like a hotel, but unique layout like a home. Best of both worlds.

They even let us have a late checkout which was extremely helpful and I’m thankful it worked out with timing.

Could be better

I would've give 4 starts but the lack of cleaning. It dropped to 2.
The installations are not bad, the room is small but is enough to stay the night, it has it's own bathroom.

Going back to the cleaning part, as soon as we step in into the room, there was a horrible odor, like if we were walking into a bedroom of someone that lacks of personal hygiene.
I'm not a clean psyco person but this is how bad it was.

I checked the sheets and blanket to see if the odor was coming from there, and it wasn't. But there were long hairs of different colors all over the blanket, which made me think how many people has used this blanket before it was washed

Even though the sheets were white after checking them closely, it seems like they were used several times before putting them in the laundry machine, outrageous!

One of the pillows smelled horrible.
I would have preferred a thousand times a more humble suite with everyday 100% cleanliness than this.
