The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District

Your Concert Weekend Home in Seattle’s University District

Modern, colorful, and designed for longer stays, the Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District offers all the comforts of home just 15 minutes from downtown Seattle. Located in the lively University District, this all-suite hotel features fully equipped kitchens, a complimentary hot breakfast, and a bright, welcoming vibe—perfect for concert-goers who want a little extra space and convenience.

Whether you’re catching a show downtown or hitting up a smaller venue nearby, this hotel blends comfort and location effortlessly.

Why Concert-goers love it

Guests love the easy access to Seattle’s top venues—many just a short drive or quick transit ride away. After a night out, return to a quiet, residential-style suite with a full kitchen to wind down. With late 12:00 PM checkout and a 24-hour front desk, you can sleep in after a high-energy night. The nearby light rail and bus lines make it simple to get to and from concerts without needing a car.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space to hang out before and after the show
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and wanting peace of mind
  • Couples making a weekend of it with a mix of music and Seattle sightseeing
  • Fans needing a quiet place to decompress after the encore
  • Budget-conscious travelers who appreciate in-room kitchens and free breakfast

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free hot breakfast, ideal if you’re recovering from a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite has a full kitchen and there’s a mini-market on site for quick snacks or essentials. Plus, the surrounding University District is packed with walkable dining options from casual eats to global flavors—many open late.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is low-key, you’re steps from the University District’s vibrant bar scene, including local breweries, laid-back lounges, and student-favorite hangouts. Take a short ride downtown to hit Seattle’s iconic music venues, or keep it chill with a craft beer nearby.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere—perfect for recharging after a show. The location is a standout, offering easy access to public transport while staying slightly removed from the hustle of downtown. Many also love the indoor pool and fitness center for a quick dip or morning refresh.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for all-night room service or buzzing hotel bars, this might feel a bit too mellow. Parking can be limited, and the area gets busy on university event days—but overall, it’s a small trade-off for the comfort and location.

The Bottom Line

If you want a colorful, comfortable base close to Seattle venues—without the downtown noise—the Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle University District hits the perfect note.

Great value and great location!

Liked: Great location in a quiet neighbourhood, very close to the university and to the Link light rail station, so getting downtown was a piece of cake. The rooms are very clean and spacious, and guests can even cook in the kitchenette. Staff was kind and helpful. The white noise machine is very helpful.
Disliked: The pillows were not particularly comfortable and I left the hotel with a bit of a neckpain. Breakfast, while ample, could have had more fruits and vegetables, and better-quality meat.

Clean and perfect location

Liked: Clean, modern, full kitchen, friendly staff, key card elevators, breakfast included. Location was perfect, close to restaurants, cafes, markets, just a block away from the Link light rail station where you can catch a train to go to Pike Place, downtown, Space Needle, UW and even to the airport which was very convenient, comfortable, easy and very inexpensive compared to Uber/Lyft. Definitely coming back here. Highly recommend.
Disliked: Wish breakfast included bacon, too

My stay was extremely comfortable...

Liked: The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was extremely roomy!! The kitchen was fully stocked with cups and dishes and you get provided so many things like soaps and a scrub! The TV was super nice since you could turn it! Staying there for more than one night would have been so nice!
Disliked: There’s nothing I didn’t really like!
