Short Term Suites

No complaints. The apartment is cozy, well set up and in a great location, everything as described and got my refund as promised. Looking fwd to coming back.
Actually my only complaint was the noisy neighbour on the unit right beside mine. But that’s not the owner’s fault.

I lived approximately three months at Cortina Apartments on Eastlake. The complex and unit is antiquated, but that’s no fault to Short Term Suites. The complex is just older and all units look to be the same. Location is great, within a 10-​minute drive to UW campus and downtown Seattle. It is also walking distance to Lake Union, and our unit had a great view of the Space Needle. Public transportation is also easy and convenient with bus stops just outside the complex.
Move-​in was very simple and took less than 24 hours. Rent was all-​inclusive which avoided the hassle of setting up utilities, internet, cable, etc. Everything went smoothly during our time there. Neighbors were friendly and Jon was available when needed. We were not bothered during our stay (by Jon or neighbors), and this made it comfortable living in the unit.
The unit came fully furnished (including dishes and cookware) with a shared washer/​dryer unit. We had our own parking spot as well. These amenities made it easy living in the unit, and there was no extra charge for any of this. Rent was reasonable and competitive for the surrounding area, and the month-​to-​month lease was great for my situation.
Overall, I would recommend Short Term Suites to anyone looking for an easy, convenient place to live. Eastlake is also a nice area and the unit is in a great location.

We stayed in the Dayton house and it served all of our short term needs. The Dayton house is located in a nice and walkable area of Fremont. The house had enough stuff (dishes, cookware, etc…) for us to get by. Jon was responsive to all request and outreach.

I am literally joining Unilocal to review this company, as I do not want others to fall into the same trap that we did. We rented Prospect Suites apartment as a short term living situation until we bought a home in Seattle.
The condition of the apartment was really horrible. The blinds we all broken, much of the furniture ripped, dishes barely there and mix-​matched, paint cracking, threadbare towels, the list goes on. I have used airbandb many times and other short term stay locations, so I am really not that picky.
I have to say too that I felt this company was very dishonest. We cleaned our entire place top to bottom and were assessed additional cleaning fees and a very high pet deposit, in addition to the cleaning fees already assessed (which are higher than a normal airbandb place). The company was very bad with communication and just overall sketchy with things, including promising parking and then backing out of that promise after we arrived with two cars, and giving us a minimal lowered rent for that major hassle.
I am seriously a very accommodating person, and I am just writing this review because I do not appreciate dishonesty and bad business. I genuinely want people to love Seattle like I do, and this is NOT a good impression of the city. Be warned!

We stayed in a condo on Dexter for 2 months. They kept half our deposit. Total rip off. We did everything they asked on move out. We even filled the gas in the grill. The carpet was dirty, the blinds didn’t work, the faucet was broken. The view was great but we more than paid for it.

Great business model and equally great management and apartment offerings. All the furnishings and convenience items were clean, comfortable and accommodating. Much better option than using a hotel as it offers much more convenience with a «home» like feel. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

I stayed at the wallingford location. I, too am puzzled by all the raves. It was a basic cheap apartment furnished with junky used furniture. I defy anyone to find a comfortable seat. With paper thin walls-​you can hear muffled talking, louder talking, laughing @ parties & music. The coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator were obviously yard sale/​trash heap. These things were acquired with an eye to photographing/​listing well without concern for the tenant. Watch out for malfunction. Oh, and expect Lorna to pop in without your knowledge (unless you happen to see her white BMW) to check on how you are treating her «wonderful things”/invade your privacy!

It’s really bothering me that this service has so many stars.
We used them when we first moved to Seattle (about a year ago.) We stayed at the Dravus Street Location. I totally agree with Sade B. on everything that’s been said about how disgusting the room was. Tiny, dirty, outdated, noisy… Plus it wasn’t even a true one bedroom, it was an open 1 bedroom. I would have much rather stayed in a hotel, even if I had to pay more.
The largest issue came with getting our deposit back. We were only there for less than a month and they tried not to give us our deposit back. We even cleaned before we left. We were told there was excess cleaning charges, and when asked to see proof, we were told the cleaning staff doesn’t speak English and there is no proof. Huh? There was no walk through. Lorna told us numerous lies, including accusing my fiancé of calling her in the middle of the night to yell at her, which never happened. We had to get a lawyer involved to get our money back. Read some of the filtered reviews– we aren’t the first to have to get a lawyer. It was a long and painful process, but we finally got it back. They are slimy.
Stay away, stay VERY far away.

We stayed at the Wallingford location — middle floor, for about 7 weeks, after just moving to Seattle from out of town. It was important for us to get a good feel of the city to decide what neighborhood best suited our needs. As it turned out, Wallingford is one of the best neighborhoods in the city! Plenty of shopping and dining choices, and just enough bustle without feeling overwhelmed. Transportation to downtown and UW is super easy. And adjacent neighborhoods are great — Fremont, Phinney and Green Lake!
Short Term Suites made this all very easy for us. The apartment was fully furnished, very clean and tastefully decorated. Plenty of space to stretch out. Full kitchen, cookware, plates, etc., Linens and towels. Lighting throughout is bright. The shower was a plus — with a powerful stream of water, and deep, clean tub ;) Plenty of closet and cabinet space.
Management was very pleasant and personal to deal with — from initial inquiry to explaining procedure and key hand-​off. Flexibility with move-​out was nice too, with just a 2 week notice required. Neighbors in the building were congenial. Off-​street parking was provided. Overall — our experience was perfect. I can’t imagine a better 7 week introduction to Seattle. Thank you Short Term Suites!

I stayed at the Dravus Street location in North Queen Anne.
The good first:
— The location allows for easy bus access to lower Queen Anne, Seattle center and downtown. You are a stones throw away from Fremont’s bars, coffee shops and restaurants.
— You can reserve your suite and pay via credit card online for the first time period. This includes your deposit.
— kitchen supplies are available and you can use them for whatever you need.
The bad:
— the parking lot access is via an unpaved alley that has numerous potholes and is neighbored by abandoned warehouse buildings that are overgrown with weeds and not well lit. Did not make me feel safe at all.
— the building is poorly maintained. The exterior has chipped paint and looks like slum apartments not the corporate housing they are advertised as. The landscaping is overgrown and got manicured once in the 10 weeks I was there. Given the plentiful water and growth in WA this is NOT enough. My car was constantly littered with leaves and debrief from lack of landscaping.
— I had plumbing problems. I took a shower and the apartment below me flooded. The landlord Jon, grilled me on my shower taking habits and made me feel like somehow it was my fault that the plumbing was subpar. My bathroom sink was backed up.
— The mattress was bumpy and uncomfortable. You are paying for corporate housing and you expect a decent mattress to fuel your short term work stay. I flipped the mattress in an effort to savage the situation. The mattress along with the furniture in the apartment were at least 7 – 10 years old and long overdue for replacement.
— There was no wireless internet. This is 2013 and Jon expected me to plug the Ethernet cord into my computer– slight problem, my computer no longer has an Ethernet plug-​in. I asked about making wireless being available and was told people «steal Internet.» Again, 2013= password protection capability. I went out and got my own wireless router and concealed its existence.
— $ 300 non refundable pet deposit and a $ 175 cleaning fee in addition to $ 1595 rent per month communicates a decent comfortable environment. I wasn’t expecting luxury but certainly not a run down building with subpar service from the landlord.
I recommend looking elsewhere!

Jon was great with communication, and I was really pleased with the apartment that we rented for 10 days. It was both cheaper and better than staying at a hotel, and Seattle is a great walking town anyway. The apartment was everything that the pictures promised.
I’d definitely recommend Short Term Suites without hesitation to anyone needing somewhere to stay in Seattle.

I stayed at Short Term Suites at their Capitol Hill location (403 E. Thomas St). I really enjoyed my furnished apartment — very tastefully decorated and comfortable.

I have had the pleasure of using the services of Short Term Suites on numerous occasions, each time proving to be of exceptional value, convenience and comfort. As a crew member for a major cruise line, I have anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks of vacation time at the end of a contract. Short Term Suites has provided me a comfortable, fully furnished home to enjoy for the length of my vacation. For myself, I have returned three vacations in a row… staying at various locations that they have to offer. most recently at one of their locations on S. Queen Anne. Previously in the Westlake area and Capitol Hill. (OK, I keep upgrading to the next best place on my list… and different locations! That is half the fun!). For anyone wanting to visit, come on business, or vacation… I cannot recommend more highly the services offered by Jon and his team. I know I will continue to return home on vacation, have an amazing comfortable place to stay… and have it feel like home, rather than the sterile feel you often get at hotel locations. Looking forward to this summer And a new place I can call home!

My partner and I decided to take a break and I needed a place to stay for an undetermined amount of time. Short term suites was able to put me in an apartment right away. The apartment felt just like home and everything you need is provided, from can openers to extra blankets to a tea kettle. All you need is a suitcase. My unit had stylish décor. The management is friendly and very responsive. The units aren’t cheap, but they are quite reasonable compared to other furnished places. I would recommend this business!
