My wife and I stayed in a room with a private bathroom, and we feel that this was a nice place to stay for two nights. (Note however that there's no room that is accessible without using stairs.)
The room was rather simple but clean and comfortable. Hot coffee was available even in the evening in the common kitchen area. The location is very convenient for visiting UW, the surrounding area is vibrant but not too noisy, yummy food at reasonable prices in walking distance.

There was one gotcha moment for us, we didn't have an unlock code to open the entrance door on arrival and there was nobody at the front desk. I searched for the code everywhere on my cellphone, but nothing. We quickly gave up, called the front desk number and a friendly staff came down to help, and that turned out to be the right thing to do. When we made a reservation we chose to pay on arrival, and the code was issued only after the staff scanned my credit card. If you experience something similar, just call.

They don't have someone at the front desk. Text them and they will come down and let you in, and set you up so you can enter on your own once you commit to staying. The place doesn't have any elevators so be aware of this if it's an issue.

Rooms were quaint yet cozy thou no AC so had to rely on fans to stay cool. Shared bathroom and showers were kind of meh though in suite lav sink was there for brushing of teeth n grooming.
Would repeat as it is in a great location away from dt and limited exposures to sketchy crowds as mostly students living nearby.

It is a quaint place to stay. It is an extremely convenient, walkable and a quiet location. Using a pass code to enter the inn and our room was awesome. The upstairs common area with kitchenette facilities was a unique and very convenient surprise touch.

Never again…

The room I stayed in smelled of mold. There were 2 room fragrances on, it was overwhelming. I tried to open the window to air the room but the window was just over the kitchen’s vent.

There was a tower air cooler/vent in the room, the filter probably has never been replaced, you could see large chunks of dust abd debris.

The carpet looked very dirty and had black smudges on it. It was a very difficult and disturbing stay for me.

The only benefit it had was it’s location as I had an interview with UW.

They should definitely consider closing the hotel a couple of months and seriously renovate the building.
Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

This is a delightful, old-fashioned inn. Although the property is old it is in good condition ( except for creaky floorboards). Everything has been updated and even the shared bathroom is sparkling clean. The location is great: just around the corner from the Meany Center. It would not be accessible for someone with major mobility problems, but otherwise it's a great choice.

Not your typical hotel

Unexpected that it was a hotel with shared bathrooms, didn't realize this was the case when I booked. Excellent location, right at the end of the U of W campus. Pub, restaurants, and coffee below the hotel. Uses a pin to get into the front door and your room (rather than card keys). Microwave and fridge available in the common space. Relatively low cost. No frills, great for a singlr traveler with twin bed options. Not your typical hotel, there are a few trade offs that, in my opinion, are well worth it for a business trip.

It was an antique hotel built in 1909.
The bedroom was nice and clean, but it did not have a bathroom inside the bedroom. There was a shared bathroom at the other end of the hallway, which made it very uncomfortable.
It didn’t have an elevator either and it was very difficult to get the luggage to the 3rd floor. There was no air conditioning either. In other words, I wish it was more clearly specified when I made the reservation because I would never had booked something so inconvenient.

Bed was nice and comfy, because of hotel (building) was old you can hear everything from neighbors, wood cranking when you walked or open-close door room. Other than that I felt safe every rooms has code to unlock the door and even shared bathroom. If you want to sleep in after 8 you will not get to sleep you can hear trash truck behind hotel. No parking guests need to park on street (pay) which is not bad for the price.

The keyless entry for both the front door and room door worked perfectly. Staff was very accommodating and kind.

My daughter and I were visiting the colleges in Seattle and we booked the College Inn Hotel. It was so cute! It is a European style hotel and was super clean, in a great part of town, and had a friendly vibe. The shared bathrooms were super clean and the common space was open and well equipped. There was a shared fridge you could use, and microwave, and coffee station, as well as a shared kitchen. The only thing that could be hard for some travelers are the stairs, there is no elevator. Other than that, the hotel is so cute and gave me a nostalgic feel for small hotels I had stayed at in Europe.
