The newest and by far the most upscale hotel in the University District. Features free DSL Internet access, complimentary continental breakfast, and free shuttles to the University and downtown. All rooms are studios.

Directions:

Exit Interstate 5 at NE 45th Street, a few miles north of downtown Seattle. Go east -- you will soon cross Roosevelt (which would be 10th Avenue if it had a number), 12th, Brooklyn (13th), and University (14th). If your hotel is on one of these avenues, turn left if the number is greater than 4500, right if less.

For the Travelodge and Silver Cloud, continue along 45th past the University of Washington, down the viaduct, and make a 270-degree right turn back under the viaduct so that you're heading north on 25th Avenue. The Travelodge is across from the University Village shopping center on the left, and Silver Cloud is just past the shopping center on the right.
