Georgetown Inn

Was my go to hotel when I needed a room until I went to reserve a room one evening & was declined for supposedly smoking in a room on a date which was prior to 2other times of me staying there, did I mention I’m a non-​smoker

Awesome little inn right off of the freeway and walking distance to restaurants, breweries and funky little shops. The hotel itself is very eclectic from the décor to the music they play in the lobby, for me personally this is a great thing. Rooms were spacey for the price. I was quoted $ 149 to stay at a Travelodge and this place was less expensive than that. Our particular room had a kitchenette which not all the rooms had. The room itself was very clean, it is in an industrial section but despite that and the proximity to the freeway I did not hear much outside noise. The personnel was very friendly and professional. They do offer a simple breakfast every morning. If you are looking for a quick bite before heading out for the day you can find something to hold you over until you reach your next destination.

This is absolutely the best value coupled with great service and just the friendliest staff ever. Had family in town who enjoyed staying here far more than the expensive waterfront hotel downtown they stayed in previously. Here, you’re only 10 minutes from downtown and it’s easy to get to and from the hotel and I-​5. The neighborhood looks a little rough and tumble but it’s fine. I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to town.

Love, love love this place. I traveled to Seattle to say good bye to my Mom. The day she died I couldn’t bear to stay in her apartment so my aunt recommended the Georgetown Inn. It was like a peaceful sanctuary. Clean, comfortable, friendly … and hip in a fun way with Art Attack posters and historic photos decorating the common areas. My Mom loved the Hat & Boots at Oxbow Park and she would have gotten a kick out of the old photos of it in the hallways. My partner and I stayed there again when we returned for Mom’s funeral and enjoyed the terrific continental breakfast and getting to know Georgetown. The staff was all busy with what looked like a big renovation but took every opportunity to care for the guests — even stopping what they were doing to open doors, refill coffee pots, etc. One fellow in particular was always coming and going busily but stopped to say hi as we were marveling over the lobby posters. When he found out that my Mom had died he gave us the very special gift of one of the posters — a B movie-​esque scene of the Hat & Boots overrun by giant ants — and a mug which now sits proudly in our kitchen. Turns out he was the general manager! He turned what was a very, very sad trip into one that brought my mom’s memory to life in a joyous way. He and his staff take a real pride in the place and it shows. Oh and the accommodations were fabulous too, of course. And the cool part of Georgetown is literally 1 block away. Great, great place. It makes me want to run my own business with the same thoughtfulness, kindness and pride. Stay there if you get a chance.

Nice hotel. Very clean. Great location — 5 Fwy is ½ a block away.
The place to stay in Georgetown.

I love the Georgetown Inn! I have to travel to Seattle about once a month for work and this is the best hotel I have found for my work travel. Incredibly affordable, comfortable, clean and locally owned, friendly staff and conveniently located just south of Seattle make it perfect for me in every way when I am in Seattle. They always have a room when I need one and when my husband comes along, we can upgrade to the suite for a small price that is well worth it for a huge room with a full kitchen and separate bedroom and jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. This place is the best!

Consistently excellent experience. The Georgetown Inn never disappoints.
We stayed here two nights this weekend while the Mariners were in town. The 106 & 124 bus lines pick up just a few blocks from the hotel at Doris and Airport Way and take you to within 2 blocks of Safeco and Qwest Fields. $ 2.75/person for 3 hours.
We got a basic queen room which was just the right size for this weekend stay. Love having the mini-​fridge which is tucked in the dresser /​TV stand. Ice on 2^nd floor. We were on the 3^rd floor which was no problem. The elevator is quick and the stairs are quicker. The room had a recycling bin — yay! And I love the high quality toiletries: shower cap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, facial bar of soap, cotton balls, Q tips, and a make up removal towelette. Very thoughtful. And thanks for helping me out when I realized I forgot to pack my toothbrush!
I talked about the continental breakfast in my first review. It amazes me how well-​stocked the food is no matter what time we stumble downstairs. What I forgot to mention is how all the breakfast items (cutlery, bowls, plates, etc) are biodegradable! That’s awesome! And there’s brewed coffee, tea, and fixings available ²⁴⁄₇ in the lobby. It was great grabbing a coffee for the road.
I love how QUIET this hotel is. Judging by the parking lot and the people I saw coming and going I sensed the hotel had high occupancy and yet our room was silent. We heard nothing from either the rooms next door or the hallway. Glorious. We slept like babies.
Thank you Georgetown Inn!

Georgetown Inn has a very friendly & outgoing staff. Richard (owner) is on-​site frequently and met him a few times. Super friendly guy & is more than happy to give you the time of day for any reason. Ask yourself how many hotel owners you met & they were willing to speak to person to person; NOT from a mindset of Hotel owner to customer? The Georgetown area has a lot to offer but you have to seek it. Its located in an industrial area where there is a cpl of local beer breweries; they have a strip of «Historic Georgetown» that has shops and eateries. The room’s are slightly dated but it OK, it fits the area. The rooms are very clean. The hotel is clean & when considering its location to the downtown Seattle area (approx 3 – 5 miles from city center, within 5 miles of Safeco Field/​Centurylink Field) — the price is decent. If you want glamour-​glitz and 5 star amenities, this is not what you are looking for. If you want to enjoy your stay in Seattle and have the sense of security, safety and affordability — This is the right pick.

Great value in a clean, progressive atmosphere. Decent-​sized, spotless rooms and free parking with easy access from Interstate 5. It’s independently owned, which is obvious from the get-​go, with artwork that features local attractions and a decidedly unpretentious staff. I’ve stayed at the Georgetown Inn twice now: once during the Sub Pop 25^th Anniversary Jubilee festival about a year ago and most recently in April 2015. If you don’t need to be downtown, this would be a great option. Georgetown is quaint, with a mixture of industrial buildings and artsy bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

Selling my place in South Park so needed a base of operations while I was in the area getting it ready, and Georgetown Inn totally surprised me as a high quality place at a reasonable price. Best features were the comfy bed — super firm and comfy, great staff, better than the usual hotel art, and the very green breakfast spread. Not green as in kale (yuk) and spinach, but just that everything is compostable and the spread — modest as it was — was just fine. Great location — Georgetown is a great place for food and drink and close to the beating heart of Seattle known as South Park (see muy macho and Loretta’s).

Called to get a room and the lady answered the phone with a bad attitude. Didn’t give her name and claimed there were no other hotels in the area. She was wrong, we got a room at another place fairly close that was more affordable, extremely accommodating and all around way better. I don’t recommend calling if you plan on staying here.

Really friendly staff, gave us a lower rate than expected. Super clean, easy (free) parking.

I travel frequently all over WA state (and the country) for work. I have stayed in many a Marriott, Hilton Suites, privately owned locations. Just last week I stayed at a place in Kennewick for the same price per night. I also stayed at a Silver Cloud in Bellevue, and then the Georgetown. Three hotels in three days.
This place wins! For under $ 100 a night IN SEATTLE, I got a wonderfully spacious room, a deep tub, super clean linens, non-​stuffy décor, and free parking. I was blown away by the friendliness of the staff, and I loved being in convenient walking distance in an artsy, nightlife-​able, neighborhood.
They have a good attitude, knowing that they aren’t the fanciest place in town, but they clearly take pride in maintaining a very clean, very approachable, very welcoming hotel. Not overly ambitious, but excellent for their price point. Compared to the place I stayed at in TriCities just two nights before, for the same amount mind you, this place was modern, well-​kept, solid continental breakfast, and took care of me and my guest. I was very pleased and will always recommend this for out-​of-​town guests.
What’s not to love when there’s breweries, a chocolate factory, and clean, crisp bed to fall onto?

Great value for the money. The room was clean and quiet and the staff was friendly. The only con is that the neighborhood wasn’t one I’d personally feel comfortable walking in at night, but that didn’t translate to the property at all.

Pros: Clean, comfortable, very friendly staff, 24-​hour STUMPTOWN coffee, Georgetown, price, witnessed new carpet being installed, free wi-​fi.
Cons: It’s not a problem for me, but I couldn’t see someone like my mother staying in this neighbourhood. No TCM on the TV.
The owner gave me an earthenware mug, emblazoned with the hotel’s logo. I like it.

Stayed here for 4 nights recently, and it was a great stay. I have to say that EVERYONE at the front desk was ALWAYS super friendly and warm. We had the corner room with the kitchenette, and it was roomy, clean and comfortable. I do have to mention that it is pretty noisy outside between the cars, motorcycles, planes, etc. If you are a light sleeper, I wouldn’t recommend this room/​hotel.
The breakfast was very good with different breads, oatmeal, cereals, fruit, etc. Good quality teas and coffee available at all times. Great perk of FREE laundry and they even give you a laundry detergent pod for free too. Thank you!
Unfortunately we had very spotty Wi-​Fi in the room. I had to go to the lobby to use my laptop effectively. I told the girl at the front desk, and she said she would look into it, but it never got better. :(

We recently went on a #WestCoastTour14 and ended our trip in Seattle. Our last night in town we stayed here. The price was right, parking was included, and the rooms looked nice. When we got there, coffee was free and the guy behind the counter was almost too nice! The hotel is non-​smoking. This is key. When we got to our room, it smelled like smoke! We called, the staff came to verify, and we were upgraded. The new room was HUGE, had a kitchen, and was an awesome upgrade. A great way to end our trip. Oh, and they had coffee in the lobby. Great location, too. I’m a fan!

We made our decision to stay at the Georgetown Inn based on all of the positive reviews this hotel has on Unilocal and other websites plus the fact that they were very affordable. They accommodated us before check-​in, after check out, and all throughout our 7-​night stay. Rich and all of the staff working there are so friendly, helpful, accommodating, and their customer service is beyond excellent and impeccable.
Upon our initial arrival, we found a fellow foodie in Rich who recommended us great places to eat around Georgetown and in the Seattle metropolitan area. Our room was clean, we had free wifi, the bed was comfortable, and despite facing the busy intersection of Bailey and Corson, it was very quiet. I appreciated the fact that they were replacing their carpet while we were there so you know they are working hard on taking care of this hotel. The one thing which I feel that needs to be disclosed and is completely out of their control is that they are next door to a marijuana medical dispensary, so you may occasionally smell weed in the hallways and elevator. We had no problem in our room (although I think we were located furthest from the clinic).
Anyway, they have the best continental breakfast spread I’ve ever seen and had. Their blueberry and apple/​cinnamon muffins are so delicious and so was their raisin and apple/​cinnamon breads. They have good looking whole grain bread, English muffins, freshly squeezed orange juice, cereal, granola, bananas, oranges, and apples. They have complimentary Stumptown Coffee 24 hours, which my husband who drinks 12 – 16 cups of coffee a day commented how good it was and how it was always hot.
They are very conveniently located to 5 bus lines. The closest were bus lines 106, 124, and 60 and were about a 5 minute walk east of the hotel. The other two bus lines were the 131 and 132 and were about a 7 – 10 minute walk west of the hotel. The 106 and 124 were the ones we used the most since they went straight through to downtown and is about a 15 minute bus ride to get to Pike Place Market in Downtown. I don’t know why the previous reviewer warned people you get dropped off and picked up in an underground tunnel, which is not true. You get picked up/​dropped off at a regular bus stop. The 106 will go through an underground tunnel at certain stops in downtown, but only for a few stops.
I would definitely recommend this hotel in a heartbeat! I only wish I could take this hotel and their staff with me on all of our travels.

First time poster. The Georgetown Inn was such a great experience I feel compelled to write about my stay. I had business to attend to in the neighborhood and found this hotel on the web. My stay was quality from start to finish, a great staff and bright, clean rooms. Good coffee and breakfast in the mornings and plenty of great restaurants in the neighborhood. And if you’re into comix and music, the Fantagraphics Bookstore and Georgetown Records just down the block. Say hello to the Georgetown Inn’s jefe Richard, he will take good care of you!
I will be staying here every time I’m in town!

In the words of my grandparents, «ooooofta namen!»
This hotel was scouted as a place for the whole family to stay in for Rachel’s wedding weekend. Sure, it’s easier to have all heads accounted for under the same roof, but for the price –nuh uh.
I was the first family member to arrive at about 3:00AM. The hotel was an easy drive from the airport and parking is free. I’m pretty tough, you guys. I’ve traveled to a lot of places by myself but this was one of those rare moments I wished I had a companion. There were lots of people roaming the streets around the hotel and the scrap metal lot next door didn’t scream safe.
I quickly parked my rental car and ran in the hotel to checkin. Keys are old school actual keys instead of keycards which give some implication on when the hotel was updated last. When I got to the room, it encompassed an odor of mildew.
Our family made it through the weekend and everything was OK. Every single staff member was extremely kind.
Bottom line for me was the price did not match the quality of the hotel or location. If the family decides to stay here again, I’ll bring febreze and pepper spray.
