This hotel’s proximity to UW is fantastic. For anyone wanting to see the cherry blossoms or if you have a student attending UW, it’s a great location. Yes they are truly a European style hotel, with some rooms with shared baths, but our room with a full bath was very, very comfortable. The keyless entry for both the front door and room door worked perfectly. Staff was very accommodating and kind. We enjoyed Agua Verde for dinner, and Saint Bread for breakfast - all within a short walk from the hotel. I’ll be returning!

Consider considering the Location and the Price and the quaintness of the hotel it's a good deal. For those who are picky, their arms are a little small, could've used better heating system and another garbage can

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.
