Hotels near Center of the Universe Signpost in Seattle

Great place: excellent location, very clean and nice set up. Good value for the price.

We have stayed in this gem of a hotel at least five times now, and it is consistently excellent. Seattle offers many lodging options, and this hotel has become our favorite. We love this small chain and have stayed in nearly all of them. This Seattle hotel is the jewel in the crown as far as we're concerned, not necessarily because it is the most fancy but because the staff always go out of their way to make the experience a genuinely welcoming one. The pineapple theme is charming, and this particular hotel layers in a fun 60s theme that is upbeat and nicely done. The rooms and lobby are always immaculate, the bedding among the most comfortable of any upper-end hotels, the amenities are appealing without being pretentious. Self-Parking is safe and easy on the premises, creative snacks are offered at the desk, and the rates are among the most affordable for an area that is often challenging. We hope that someday they are able to bring back their breakfast and cute bar. The staff is consistently helpful, genuinely warm, and consummately professional, going out of their way to find ways of making our stay memorable. This particular University Inn managed to do this even in the worst days of the pandemic lockdown when we had to be in the area for serious reasons. We really appreciate the kindness and high quality that the management of this hotel manages to find in exceptional caliber of its hotel staff, especially at a time when so many organizations are struggling to keep even minimum staffing levels. Thank you Staypineapple University Inn! We look forward to coming back whenever possible!

Overall, it was a very satisfied hotel. The bedding was very comfortable. I probably lived in the most comfortable bed and bedding in the United States. The various items in the room have the hotel's pineapple logo, which is very delicate and beautiful. Overall it is a very favorite hotel. The only bad thing is that this hotel will charge an additional 150/day amenity fee. This is the first time I have lived in all the hotels. The amenity is not a special amenity. What's the fruit, and I didn't know it was charged before I checked out. Based on this, probably will not consider this hotel chain in the future.

We stayed here before our Alaska Cruise and had a very good experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Rooms include a mini fridge, Keurig coffee maker, iron, and safe. Dove bath products are provided. Hair dryer is attached to the bathroom wall. The front desk staff were so polite and professional at every interaction. We did pay for the package that included breakfast at Toast and Toast restaurant next door to the hotel. Food was good and generous portions. Coffee is not included so take a little cash with you. Short walk to the Space Needle. Upon check in, we signed up for the shuttle to the cruise port for $10 a person plus tip. Driver was on time, very friendly. Although we did see a few homeless people, we never felt unsafe.

Nice little place. We checked in really late because of circumstances and the night guy was extremely friendly and welcoming. The building is a bit older and it shows but it was comfortable enough. The location is fantastic, only minutes from the zoo and some great restaurants. The only real complaint we had was that there was a lot of hair in the bed linens, which is kind of gross but they have been washed so I guess they're sterilized hairs? Overall quite happy though.

Since I was staying over New Year's Eve, it was very noisy during the night. I don't think it's a big deal unless it's a special occasion. The location is great. There was also a coupon for cupcakes. Since it is an apartment, rather than checking in, you can obtain the code number by entering the necessary information (credit card number, etc.) from the QR code.　 Cooking utensils are also available. Although it may seem a little expensive due to its location, it is a recommended hotel.

Sweet spot in the heart of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Small but very clean and comfortable rooms with kitchenette and espresso (pod) machines. Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. Major transit (bus) stops also within walking distance.

Pros: The suites with kitchen are suitable for families, breakfast is more abundant, there is a free simple American dinner from Monday to Wednesday, and there is a shuttle bus to downtown Seattle and the market around the hotel. 10 minutes drive to Gas Park, UW, Kerry Park; Disadvantages: There are no restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. It is best to have a car or use the hotel shuttle to travel. The room too close to the main road is very noisy.

The hotel is very close to the Pike market and is convenient for travel. The room is clean and tidy, the bed is comfortable

The geographical advantage, the roommates staying are also very conscious, will not affect each other. There is space under the bed for storing large boxes for $2. Breakfast is simple.
