Are you looking for cheap, or nice? Will you have a car? Also, will your interview be at the UW hospital, or somewhere else?

I stayed at the University Plaza the first time I went there. It was a dive, but fairly close to UW Hospital. The second time, I stayed at a Days Inn on 7th avenue. Another dive, but cheap and downtown and near a bus route to anywhere. Walking distance to Harborview. My last day there I stayed at the Mayflower Hotel, which is also downtown. Verrrry nice, and not hideously expensive (although it was a concierge-connection-deal, so I don't know if you'd be able to stay as inexpensively).

the university motel is on campus -- that was pretty cheap. the rooms were actually like apartments. i took my wife along and we made a weekend out of it. it's a 10 minute walk to the medical center. tele # 800-522-4720

i got these through doing a search on the uw home pages...

College Inn (206) 633-4441 http://www.collegeinnseattle.com/ (only a 3-block walk) and it's also cheaper than others
University Inn 4140 Roosevelt Way NE 632-5055
University Motel 4731 12th NE 522-4720
Meany Tower Hotel 4507 Brooklyn NE 634-2000
Silver Cloud 5036 25th Ave NE 526-5200
Travelodge 4725 25th NE 525-4612

(note: area code is 206 for all of these.

also don't forget the obvious -- current students or residents...alumni from your institution.....

uw is great. good luck.

I may be wrong about the name of the one near campus. It was on the corner of 45th and I-5. How quickly it all fades away...
