• Katie from United States – 25 February 2025 (10/10)

  The property was very secure, you need a key card to access which the doors and the elevators, which was appreciated. Access to UW campus is great. They gave us a map and a list of surrounding attractions and food, also nice and the meal we had from a recommended restaurant was excellent! Bailey checked us in and gave us some additional info about UW when she found out we were visiting campus (she’s a senior at UW).
  
  What could be improved: There could always be more hooks at the entrance to the room to hang up jackets, but there were some in the bathroom so that was nice!
