Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District is a mid-range extended-stay hotel at 4501 12th Ave NE in the University District of Seattle, Washington, close to the University of Washington campus. The area is a student and research hub, with University Way, known locally as The Ave, offering inexpensive restaurants, bookshops and cafes. The Link light rail station at U District gives a fast connection to downtown Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and the campus attractions, including the Burke Museum, Drumheller Fountain and the cherry blossom Quad in spring, are within walking distance. Husky Stadium and the Montlake Cut waterfront are also nearby. The hotel belongs to the Residence Inn brand, which is designed for longer stays, with suites that include kitchens, separate living and sleeping areas and sofa beds. Listed rates run from roughly $170 to $340 per night depending on the academic calendar. A free breakfast is included, and a fitness centre is available to guests. The service style is practical and residential, and guests commonly include visiting academics, parents of students, patients and families attending nearby hospitals, and business visitors. There is no formal restaurant, but the neighbourhood contains a wide variety of casual dining within a few blocks, and the kitchens allow guests to prepare meals. Demand peaks around graduation in June, move-in in September and home football games in the autumn, when rates rise and availability becomes limited. The area is lively with students during the academic year and quieter in summer. Visitors should expect that parking is charged and that the neighbourhood is busy during the day. Overall, the Residence Inn University District is a spacious, practical base near the campus and the light rail, suited to longer visits.
