I read the reviews and decided to take my chances at the Seattle University
Travelodge. Upon pulling up, I thought, this doesn't look that bad as the
outside painting and lighting was somewhat modern looking. I checked in around
11pm-midnight and the evening clerk was friendly and helpful. I walked down the
hall and it doesn't smell the freshest. Head upstairs, there's a door held open
by a washcloth as it was for the 3 evenings I was there. My room was just okay.
I tried not to look too closely.
So, here's what I think. I needed a place near Children's Hospital, the Seattle
University Travelodge was about half the price of others within this vicinity. I
was at the hospital all day and came back tired and would crash from about
midnight until 5-6am and then back to the hospital. For the amount I saved over
other properties, and the amt. of time I was actually in the hotel, it worked.
Or, if I was partying with old college buddies and we had too many adult
beverages I'd be okay. But, I would not bring my wife here in its existing
state, I would not bring my kids here in it's existing state.
I hope the remodel makes the difference for them. It is a very convenient
location. Across the street from University Village. In fact, I ran from the
hospital to grab lunch for us and a benefit was I was able to park in the
Travelodge parking lot to run in and get lunch across the street. There was no
room in the University Village parking lot and parking was crazy due to a UW
bball game. I filled out a review that they sent to me and I was impressed with
the quick response from their team. So, i hope they get it cleaned up.

I stayed in room #119 at Travelodge in Seattle Washington near the University of
Washington. The room was clean. I inspected it for cleanliness before I brought
my luggage into the room. I even pulled back the sheets and inspected the
mattress edges. It was perfectly clean and there were no odours. I have stayed
at another popular hotel near the University several times and because their
prices went up and I am on a budget, I tried this one. This room had a
refrigerator and a microwave which I had to supply my own at the other more
expensive hotel. The lower cost was reflected in the more trimmed down breakfast
bar, which I did not care about. No one bothered me at all. I did not opt to
have my room cleaned during my stay but each morning the cleaning staff was on
hand and happy to give me fresh towels or anything I needed for my room. It felt
safe. I never had the feeling of being afraid during my visit there. If you stay
in the winter I would advise bringing an extra blanket for the bed or use the
heater in the room. It was a little loud, but it also served as a good "white
noise" machine. Every hotel I have ever stayed in has hallway noise of doors
opening and closing so this would drown that all out. Overall I felt that
Seattle University Travelodge was a good value for the money.

Seattle University Travelodge is a quiet place to stay outside of downtown, in
close proximity to U of W and good shopping and restaurants. Free Parking and
not too expensive.

It was a perfect place to stay for our visit to family at Thanksgiving.

Economical stay. People were pleasant. Across from shopping center--that was
nice. Convenient to UW. Continental breakfast pretty typical--just toast,
pre-packaged muffins, oatmeal and a few cereals. Heater was so noisy we had to
turn it off. Older hotel. Get what you pay for. |
