University Inn

University Inn is a mid-range hotel at 4140 Roosevelt Way NE in the University District of Seattle, Washington, United States. The district surrounds the University of Washington campus, and the hotel is a short distance from the university, University Village shopping centre, the Burke Museum and the Montlake Cut waterway near Husky Stadium. U District Station on Link light rail is within reach, providing a direct link to downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill and Sea-Tac Airport, and the bus network along Roosevelt Way and the Ave is extensive. The hotel is an independent, family-oriented property with a comfortable, unpretentious style, and it has long served visiting academics, parents of students and travellers who want a calmer base than downtown. Room types include king rooms and queen rooms. Listed amenities include a seasonal pool, free breakfast and loaner bikes. The seasonal pool is open in the warmer months, while the free breakfast reduces costs and the loaner bikes give guests an easy way to reach the Burke-Gilman Trail, the campus and Lake Union. The University Avenue, known as the Ave, has a large number of inexpensive restaurants, cafes and bubble tea shops reflecting the student population, so dining options are broad and affordable. Nightly rates generally run from about $120 to $250, among the lower-cost options listed for the city. Service is friendly and informal, well suited to families, university visitors and cyclists. Guests should verify current rates, parking details and booking information at the property website, as graduation weekends and football home games can fill rooms quickly and raise prices.
