Very cozy and nice, extremely convenient near the Rail Station and nearby eats! I will say the extra fans provided really helped and staff went above and beyond to help us even after hours when its just for emergencies. We really appreciated that, will definitely be staying here again in the future.

It is a quaint place to stay. It is an extremely convenient, walkable and a quiet location. Using a pass code to enter the inn and our room was awesome. The upstairs common area with kitchenette facilities was a unique and very convenient surprise touch. The one drawback for me was the thin walls and being awakened at 6 am on a Sunday morning by some loud person banging shower doors as they got ready in the morning.

I stayed in a room with the bathroom down the hall. During my 3 day stay there no one else was in the bathroom while I was using it so it felt like my own large bathroom! The loft on the 4th floor provided a kitchen with full size frog and all the needed kitchen items, much better than what is available at a motel!

College Inn Hotel is exactly what it claims to be. There were no surprises for us. The room was nice, the beds were comfortable, and the fresh air with open windows at night was perfect. We never encountered anyone in the bathroom and enjoyed having our own sink, towels, and blow dryer in bedroom. The location was perfect for our needs. Thank you!

Never again…

The room I stayed in smelled of mold. There were 2 room fragrances on, it was overwhelming. I tried to open the window to air the room but the window was just over the kitchen’s vent. There was a tower air cooler/vent in the room, the filter probably has never been replaced, you could see large chunks of dust abd debris. The carpet looked very dirty and had black smudges on it. It was a very difficult and disturbing stay for me. The only benefit it had was it’s location as I had an interview with UW. They should definitely consider closing the hotel a couple of months and seriously renovate the building. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Very nice spot

Great location. Cute hotel. Check-in was a little confusing as you cannot enter the hotel without someone letting you in which is kind of unusual but once we understood that it was all good. The room was nice and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was no issue.

It is a beautiful hotel in a good location. ONLY FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE. There is NO ELEVATOR. We had a TON of luggage we had to carry upstairs. No where downstairs to store luggage. Was comfy, pretty, and safe. No AC but the windows were nice and cool. Ran by college students.
