Four words can sum up this property - both for good and bad.
Stairs: building constructed before ADA requirements - no elevators anywhere and so you will quickly have to learn to love steep staircases - definitely a factor if you're bringing a lot of luggage, because there's are no staff around to help you - which brings us to...
Nobody: a "real" hotel has someone on site 24 hours a day, but here the staff is more noteworthy for their absence - very similar to an AirBnB - no one monitoring the front door and no one to help with room problems - for short stays no housekeeping at all, for long stays housekeeping once a week.
Location: on the plus side, excellent access to mass transit and U of Washington - a very walkable and pleasant neighborhood.
Restaurants: more different kinds of food, and more restaurant storefronts along University Way than I have seen in any other city - cheap student food mostly ordered at counters (tip jars at the registers) but you could probably spend a month here just eating.
There are about 6 hotels in this U District area - if budget was the only concern then I might book this one again - otherwise I would put it at the bottom of the list, since it's just one step above an AirBnB or hostel experience and I prefer a hotel that's a "real" hotel which an engaged staff and more control over who's coming and going.
