This is a return visit for us. We love the hotel vibe, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the delicious coffee in the attached coffee shop, the comfy beds and attractive, comfortable decor. It is very close to family and makes for an easy and comfortable stay. Our Honors membership doesn't seem to be a subject of discussion here.

We prepaid our reservation, but received an emailed folio invoice following our departure that reflected extra charges for the prepaid taxes. Several inquiries later, we were told that the charges had been reversed. It seems like, if it's worth sending an email with charges, it is worth sending an email with credits as reassurance.

Hotel is ideally located across the street from the Sound Transit light rail line to downtown and the Seattle-Tacoma airport, and within walking distance to the University of Washington campus. Room was spacious and conveniently furnished, with one exception.

Desk chair was worn to an unacceptable softness and could not be adjusted for height. I could not use it and had to work standing up. Intermittent daytime noise from an adjacent room: may have been furniture moving or maintenance activity.

Loved my stay at The Graduate - the reception staff were all very kind and helpful. As I'm writing this about a month later, I forget their name but one of them was exceptionally so and she gave me, I believe, 4 sides of A4 of ideas/sights to check out in Seattle (which were all fantastic and really made me feel like I got the most out of my visit!). There is an excellent coffee shop connected to the building via the lobby and the subway/metro is practically just across the street so it was no trouble at all getting to the hotel in the first place from the airport and then later reaching the train station or heading into the city proper. The room was decorated in a really cool way and had everything I needed personally.

Fun concept with all sorts of memorabilia about college including famous alumni like basketball players and art stars who had graduated from a Washington university.

The bathroom had a standing sink but no surface to put things down on. As a person with a disability I could not balance myself and my “beauty”routine! After one night of this frustration, I called the front desk and asked for something to put things down on. Later that day, the hotel staff brought up a plastic chair and a small table for me to use. Brilliant! Problem solved!

Close proximity to the University of Washington and numerous restaurants are nearby. We walked to both of these, but it was a lot of walking, which we enjoyed! They do have an exercise room onsite that has the basics. If you are an avid exerciser, you would probably enjoy a day pass at a local gym instead. Our room was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. If the room would have had a mini-fridge it would have been perfect!

Parking. Valet parking was approximately $50 a night, which was our only choice unless you wanted to leave your vehicle in garage a few blocks away. The parking garages had poor online reviews, so we did leave our vehicle in valet parking.

Rooms are of special "student style" in many cute details. Very comfortable bed. Very close to UDistrict station of the Light Link train, which gets you to Capitol Hill (nice area, nice restaurants) in 10min, downtown in 15min and directly to the airport in 45min for ~3$. Area is really nice with some bars and restaurants and because of the university just around the corner with many young and nice people on the streets.

Nothing to complain at the hotel. Though be aware when beeing in downtown from Pike street to the south-east till Chinatown - there the drug addicts are quite crazy and a lot of them :( nicer areas I considered to be from Pine street to the west, especially around the space needle and at the Piers and of course one highlight is the Pike Street Market.

Graduate Seattle is one of the most top tier experiences I’ve ever had. The accommodations were stellar and the history unique. The staff was unbelievable — the front desk, valet team, mountaineering club hostesses, the incredibly respectful/helpful maintenance men, and the lovely house keepers — whoever is in charge of hiring has put together the most amazing crew and it shows, bravo. The hotel is very clean and unique. The showers have quality products, and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The curtains fully close for a proper night of rest. The walls are very well insulated and sound proofed. Fast elevators and fast service. Tons of food options in easy walking distance. The Mountaineering Club has amazing views, food, and atmosphere. Ryan and Devin (and the whole team) are sublime, their bartending and general knowledge is next level: they are humble but if you’re craving a drink they’ll make the best one you’ve ever had. I’ve never rated a place 10/10 but hands down will for Graduate Seattle, will be back, and will recommend to all friends traveling to Seattle:

Incredible. 24 hour valet, they'll hold your bags while you explore the city. Rooftop bar is amazing. Only complaints was the rooms AC didn't work, there was no fridge, and the desk didn't have a mirror so doing my make up was a little hard in the bathroom. But I'll stay here as many times as I can if I'm needing to stay in this area of Seattle again. Loved it. Neptune Theater is literally right across the street btw, and theres SO MANY amazing stores within walking distance. 10/10.

Location and eclectic vibe. Fantastic roof top bar!

Couldn’t control room temp. Only one very small mirror over sink in bathroom without “vanity” make up area. Room needs a 2nd mirror. Safety…the mounted slide bar for the shower head fell off the wall…just missing hitting my body. My husband was able to put it back in place though not sure it was secured well. I did mention this upon checking out. Hopefully it was Really secured for the next guest.

A great modern hotel, we stayed for 3 nights after a long flight, 2 adults and a 2-year-old child. The rooms are small but clean, comfortable, stylish, and have everything you need. Check-in was quick. There's a café on the first floor where you can have breakfast in the morning.

Not a minus, just a fact: The surroundings of the hotel were questionable; on our first evening, as we were leaving the nearest supermarket, a police officer fired a shot into the air behind us..)
