Very nice spot
Great location. Cute hotel. Check-in was a little confusing as you cannot enter the hotel without someone letting you in which is kind of unusual but once we understood that it was all good. The room was nice and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was no issue.

A lovely old-fashioned inn
This is a delightful, old-fashioned inn. Although the property is old it is in good condition ( except for creaky floorboards). Everything has been updated and even the shared bathroom is sparkling clean. The location is great: just around the corner from the Meany Center. It would not be accessible for someone with major mobility problems, but otherwise it's a great choice.

It is a beautiful hotel in a good location. ONLY FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE. There is NO ELEVATOR. We had a TON of luggage we had to carry upstairs. No where downstairs to store luggage. Was comfy, pretty, and safe. No AC but the windows were nice and cool. Ran by college students.

The College Inn is an excellent expression of a business realizing its ultimate potential. Its a small, affordable european style inn with shared bathrooms conveniently located right in the middle of the U district. I love the history of this place and the staff is alwasys pretty on point. The rooms are tight and spartan but all you really need, especially in a city where 400 dollar hotel rooms are now more the norm than the exception.
