Hotel Deca

The only reason this gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because one of the kids in the front desk was very friendly.
This place is very outdated, my bed was terrible, almost like it had a whole in the middle. They offered to change my room but the other bed was just as bad– song was told «I’m sorry this is not the type of bed you like» — dear management: please buy new mattresses I you want to stay in business!!!
The room was tiny and I was charged a $ 15 facility fee at my check out even though when I checked in I was told my credit card would only be charged for parking and incidentals.
Also, save your money and pay $ 10 for parking at the machine to park at the same lot you do when you pay $ 20 through the hotel.

Love this hotel. Beautiful, clean and most friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel

My room was completely dirty my first day of check in (January 4^th, 2016) Hairs on the bed, stains on the sheets, windows were full of dirt. Yuk. I asked if I could get clean sheets to replace the dirty ones. I was moved to another room. I didn’t sleep much that night… Either way, in the morning… I noticed my upper extremity had a minor rash but rushed over to my first day of orientation (didn’t pay any mind to my rash since it was not itchy) I got back to the hotel from my orientation completely drained. Decided to shower, ohhh my goodness, within the hour I completely broke out in hives. My skin is completely itchy, my eyes burn, i’m red all over… So I went down stairs to buy Claritin and notified front desk. I asked if I could use their cleaning supplies to ensure my room was completely clean. Since I THINK it could be from all the dust. He said that I am not able to use any of their cleaning supplies ad there’s NOTHING they could do since my rooms were booked through expedia. Ughhhh… I am not from this area. I’m not familiar with the area either. I don’t know anyone near by. I came out here from Alaska for a week orientation at Seattle childrens hospital. Worst experience EVER.

Clean, quiet, nice staff. Lost one star for poor water pressure in shower (I’m from California and we use low pressure shower heads always) and this was super low. The beds were clean, super comfy, and both my brother and I appreciated the food recommendations, etc.
My hairdryer wasn’t working and I was able to quickly get a replacement which I appreciated on a cold and windy day. They also let me have a late checkout

The front desk staff at check in, and every time you walk through the lobby, was extremely nice and welcoming. The room is nice looking. You can hear some road noise, which isn’t a bother to me.
The reason for the 2 stars is the horrible mattress. It’s too firm and couldn’t sleep at all last night. The pillows are so soft they compress to almost nothing.

I made a last minute reservation, but had to cancel it due to a circumstance that I couldn’t control. Kayli not only listened to me but also provided a solution to minimize my lost. Thank you, Kayli. You are the best!

This is a good hotel with interesting lobby décor right near the University of Washington in Seattle.
The building is a tower and the rooms on the upper floors have a great view. The staff is very good and accommodating. When we originally had a problem with our room after the first night of a week stay, they moved us to a better room. From our room, we could see the university and Lake Washington. Mount Rainier was almost visible (it came and went in the haze like Brigadoon).
Our room had a king size bed, and as a corner room, it had a view in two directions.
There is a Tully’s coffee adjacent to the lobby, which was handy. The lobby is decorated in a somewhat deco-​like manner, which is interesting and pleasant. The hotel is walking distance to many shops; it is nice neighborhood to stroll.
There is a daily parking charge which is added to your bill, if you have a car.
One caution: On Unilocal and on the hotel’s web site there are photos of a rooftop deck. This exists, but is only for those occupying the top floor suites. I suggest that the promotional material clearly state that this, as the presence of a rooftop deck was one of the attracting things for us and we were disappointed that it was not available to all guests. We have stayed at other hotels in Seattle that have rooftop decks available to all guests.

Such a great experience.
The good: the staff was lovely. The décor was great. The room was cleaned everyday we were there. There was a coffee shop and a restaurant attached to the hotel. There were shops and restaurants with in walking distance. There was always parking. There was complimentary water and coffee tickets available. We didn’t take advantage of it till the last day though.
The not so good: we weren’t able to check in till almost 6pm (went to eat so it wasn’t that bad) The last day we were there the water heater and heater went down in 38 degree weather (we went for breakfast and did a little bit of shopping). Our parking was complimentary for our whole stay for the inconvenience so that’s good.
I almost wanna go back to Seattle to stay there again.

It all depends on what your standards are. I give it one star for having a room ready 2 hours before checkin. The floors of the hotel desperately needed to be vacuumed. I called the front desk because our room was freezing… they told me sorry no heat with some long-​winded explanation. They did send up another blanket covered in the aroma bleach. The nights we stayed in the hotel– the rain was hard and plentiful. On our last morning we opened the curtains to find a ton of moisture dripping down the glass. To sum it all up, that was room 306. And from what I could see if you were catching a show or attending a football game you didn’t really care about all that.

Stayed at this hotel one night for a college football game at University of Washington Husky Stadium. The location is perfect for this purpose since the hotel is about 20 minute walk to the stadium and can avoid the bad traffic on NE45th before and after the game. Also there are many good eclectic restaurants in the area both cheap and expensive and it is possible to walk to and from University Village for more upscale shopping and dining (although there are hills on the way at the bridge leading into the village. I would recommend this hotel to those who are visiting University of Washington or attending athletic events.

My husband and I stayed here. The room itself was not at all what we expected (furniture is older, bed was sagging at the end, bedding and towels smells like bleach… but at least they were white and clean). It would be a great place if renovated.
But the staff, Mitchell (sp?) in particular, saved this experience for me. This gentleman really raised the bar for customer service, which should be the standard for all hotels! All other guest service agents were extremely friendly and helpful!!!

Got a great deal via priceline ($ 120/​night!). The gentleman at check in offered us free parking and let us know he’d put us up as high as he could and that we could expect a good view of Mt. Rainier if the clouds cooperated.
The hotel is beautifully decorated and I loved some of the original details left in the room, like the original tile and doorknobs in the bathroom. They did a fantastic job of fusing contemporary style with that art deco vibe. The bed was super comfortable, the room tastefully appointed, and I loved the bath/​body products stocked en suite (they smelled so good!).
I love what they’re doing– dvds to borrow and a free yoga pass? How fantastic! Makes me wish we’d stayed more than one night.

A nice solid 2 stars.
Nicely decorated and friendly staff, cannot bandaid over the negative.
We arrived late and asked for a quite room on an upper floor. What we got was a corner room, with walls so thin you could hear every vehicle passing below and full blown conversations/​laughter (thank goodness no one was having sex near our room) into the wee hours of the morning.
Amenities included free parking (in a mediocre lot), free water (go figure), free green apple, and free coffee. The room key card was difficult to get to work.

Pros– The room looks really nice and it was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful also.
Cons– The walls and windows are paper thin. I could hear everything from next door and from somewhere else through the bathroom vent. I could hear everything from the street, including conversations, and I was on the 7^th floor. My room was directly across from the elevator, so I heard that all night and everyone that got on and off.
The bed was rock hard.
Overall, the location was good for where I needed to be but I didn’t get much sleep.

Arrived late at night to a room with extremely thin walls. I could hear my neighbor snoring the entire time. The front desk would not move our room until 2am due to us just walking into the room. Next morning, Woke up to loud neighbor on both sides at 7am.
Was charged an additional amount of $ 79 after the stay for 2 nights parking and random hotel fees and taxes.
The hotel pictures look way better online. They tried to make the hotel «Art Deco» themed. It looks more like a bizarre mix of cheesy early 90’s fixtures and color palates meets a manic shopping spree at TJ Maxx or Home Goods. Cheaply done. I wouldn’t recommend this place for the price.

Great location in the U District. Pretty much walk to anywhere, UW, eateries, bars, shops, etc. I have stayed a few times and rooms vary in comfort level, décor, space, etc. As far as a place to lay your head at night, it serves that purpose comfortably. Few quirky things here and there… water pressure was low once and hvac did not seem too cool the room to desired temperature, Relatively inexpensive option if you use travel sites to book, also they will match those rates if you walk in. They do charge some sort of club/​hotel fee of $ 30 so if your rate says $ 90, its really $ 120, but still a better than average deal.

We really liked our stay at the Hotel Deca. It was nice that they had adequate and ample parking adjacent to the hotel. In addition, the staff was knowledgeable & friendly. After checking in, we were quite pleased with the accommodations. The location provided access to a lot of places to have dinner and to pick up incidentals that we might need for our trip. After dinner my kiddo & I relaxed with a selection of DVDs that the front desk provided along with popcorn. The morning, we had a late breakfast at the Tully’s that’s attached to the hotel.
It’s definitely an experience I would repeat.

IT would not be hard to earn a five star rating from me. OVERALL Excellent service, great location and within walking distance to many things. We traveled all over city and found location good based on traffic and location to sights. The 30 day pre-​purchase net special hard to beat based on area. We paid for a better room higher up and it was worth the view (15 floor). LACK OF Noise was better than many.
Here is my PICKY issues — beds are just too soft, no warm blankets, Cable TV channel selection very lacking, one wifi user only per room for free, Hotel needs a HOT TUB following your day as a tourist. Microwave failed to work and are very cheap type.

I stayed at Hotel Deca for the weekend while in Seattle and I had a very pleasant experience overall. It’s nestled right in the heart of Washington University so you can always find something to do.
The restaurants surrounding Hotel Deca are rich in culture and low in price to accommodate the students living nearby. Make sure you stop at Cedars and get the falafel and turkish coffee (see my review of Cedars).
The hotel itself is nice. It has modern furnishings set within a jazz lounge style backdrop. I believe I will be coming back here anytime I’m in northern Seattle.

This place hit all the right buttons for me: hip neighborhood, room with a bay window and a view, modern hotel with a throw-​back vibe, suggestive photos in the hallway, purple velvet, and I think I’ve got a thing for the girl at the front desk.
If only the $ 14.95 I spent for ‘fast’ internet was a little more reliable…
I was only slated to be here for one night, but instead stayed four.
