"As neighborhood hotels pop up in Seattle, the fanciest one is this indulgent Ballard escape in the middle of the historic area boasting cool shops and a weekend cocktail trail."
Gayot
"Located in the center of Ballard --- arguably Seattle's most interesting neighborhood --- this boutique hotel is steps from the area's thriving art scene."
Afar Magazine
"Hotel offerings in Seattle’s outlying neighborhoods are fairly limited, making the Hotel Ballard a welcome addition to this newly revitalized district north of downtown."

For more space and the best views, opt for one of the "premier rooms," which have large windows and extra-comfy beds.

"Parents and students reserve early to save their spot at the University Inn, a non-smoking property located only three blocks from the University of Washington."

"This budget hotel is just a few blocks from the University District and I-5, so downtown is only a quick drive away."
Rough Guide
"Business-oriented hotel close to the University of Washington. Some rooms have kitchens, all have complimentary breakfast; there’s also a pool and spa and free wi-fi."
Gayot
"This 102-room, former motor hotel in the University District is one of the many relics leftover from the era when the World's Fair came to town."
