The College Inn is an excellent expression of a business realizing its ultimate potential. Its a small, affordable european style inn with shared bathrooms conveniently located right in the middle of the U district. I love the history of this place and the staff is alwasys pretty on point. The rooms are tight and spartan but all you really need, especially in a city where 400 dollar hotel rooms are now more the norm than the exception.

Very cute, highly recommend!

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.

Cheap but not good.

Housekeeping never came to take out trash or make beds, bathrooms minimally cleaned. Rarely staff in lobby, always had to call front desk and wait for someone working somewhere else to come down. Found out upon leaving that hotel front end staff positioned on 4th floor and not lobby. No insulation in room, could hear all of the goings on from the street, and upstairs neighbors.

I would stay again. It was like a European hotel, minus the breakfast. Everything was clean and comfortable. There was a lot of check in stuff that was a little difficult to manage when you are flying and can’t get all of their texts and instructions. However, it really wasn’t a big deal and it worked out just fine

Cute place!

cute hostel vibes; overall the place seemed clean and taken care of. The only downside is the walls are paper thin and the man in the room next to us was constantly coughing and talking to apparently himself and we could hear every single cough
