    Where to start? There's the good; the bad; and the ugly…read more Let's start with the good, shall we? . Close by Sea-Tac airport and Southcenter Mall. Room was beautiful, spacious, two TVs. You're presented with a "ticket" to use for breakfast and evening drinks. (To prove you're a registered guest and to track your two drink limit. Make sure to keep it with you!). Fresh made-to-order omelets for breakfast. Omelets were delicious and I'm not an egg fan typically. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, potatoes and sausage available too. Cold cereal, bananas, apples and Greek yogurt also available. Free coffee and tea were located in the far far corner. You walk past the in-house Starbucks to reach the free beverages. If you didn't look, you would assume Starbucks was free and included in breakfast. The bad-"complimentary" evening reception. Food choices were chips with two types of salsa, ranch dip, sweet and salty snack mix, veggies and a "Cajun" snack mix. Complimentary drinks feature off off off brand liquor, couple of beer choices on tap and decent wine (Cab or Chardonnay). Can upgrade your drink for $6 to brand name liquor. There are hot food offerings ranging in price from $15-$40. Also, we're Hilton Honors members. Members with higher status were gifted treat/goody bags that are displayed behind the front desk. I asked at check-in. Don't know if that was a perk or a ploy. Why not have those waiting in-room for higher status members? The ugly - $25 per night parking. A fellow Yelper from 9 months prior to this review indicated $22 a night ? No hot water in the bathroom. The first day, and last day, I heated water in the microwave and cleaned myself in the sink. The room was noisy being close to the airport and the open elevators facing the atrium. So there you have it. My take on Embassy Suites. My hubby would have given the stay four stars. Good thing this isn't HIS Yelp account.

    I've always liked staying at Embassy Suites. The room was spacious and comfortable beds, close to…read morethe airport here. The parking spots are kind of tight and they have one end of the parking lot blocked off (since a lot of the public just casually pass through there). Parking is pricey at $22 for overnight. At the evening reception, the snacks could've been a little more substantial compared to other Embassy Suites (crackers, options of sweet or savory trail mix, cheese, chips), but it did come with 2 complimentary alcoholic drinks. Breakfast had a good variety, but I was a little disappointed to see that their mini muffins and scones came out of plastic packages from a grocery store, rather than being homemade or from an actual bakery. 2025 #8

Running out of plates and juice on Sunday made it more frustrating than it needed to be. The pillows were the worst part. After the system asked for a review just hours after check-in and I rated them a 4, staff confirmed they'd send foam pillows but what we got instead were completely flat, unstructured pillows filled with loose cotton-like clumps (basically the same stuffing you'd find in a couch). Zero support. Pool area was poorly managed. It's supposed to be adults-only after 10 pm, but kids were doing cannonballs at 8 pm and still jumping in at 10. Front desk said towels were at the pool, there were none. The hot tub water was murky and unclean, so I dipped my feet in and left. Also found a cup of cigarette butts sitting in water on the balcony from previous guests. Disgusting, and it's probably still there. Overall disappointing. Wouldn't stay again.

I would never choose this place again, much less apartments managed by Northwest Apartment. They're old, ugly, and expensive, and they overcharge. It's the worst I've ever experienced.

    This review is only for Embassy Apartments. I have written a separate review for the property…read moremanagement company (Northwest Apartments). In August 2018 I was specifically looking to lease a studio flat within a short walk from work. I viewed three units in the building. The first one I viewed was an absolute mess and still under renovation. Out of the three, the unit I rented was in the best condition. When I first moved in, the then resident manager was good, although there was no shower curtain rod in the bathroom and text messages to her concerning this went unanswered. The landlord allows tenants to smoke in their units. The smoke seeped out into the hallway and I could smell it in my unit even with a towel placed at the threshold of my entry door. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and informed the resident manager and management of this. The resident manager sent an email to tenants asking them to open a window when smoking but otherwise did nothing to stop this. The units have old, vertical, wall-mounted gas heaters which make a very loud metallic "banging" sound when they come on. Even with earplugs the loud "banging" would wake me up often. The old heaters also emit a gritty grey dust and fibrous substance. The single-pane sash-type windows are original to the building and let in cold air during winter months. They also allow in dirt from the surrounding streets and alley. Because this building is old, note there are only three electrical plugs in the units. There are two in the main living/bed area and one in the kitchen above the stove/oven. There is no electrical plug in the bathroom. The ads for the units state they have updated cabinetry. None of the three units I viewed had updated cabinetry. In the unit I leased, the bathroom medicine cabinet was clearly original. The cabinetry in the kitchen is also either original to the unit or was replaced in the 40s or 50s. It is far from being upgraded and the online photos of the kitchen cabinets prove it. Thus, this is blatant misrepresentation. Be prepared to pay close to $100.00 in shared utilities. When I first moved in, tenants were responsible for paying for their own gas and were required to open an account with PSE. My gas bill was rarely over $20.00 monthly during winter months; about $12.00 other months. But then, the landlord went to a shared system. I suspect the landlord did this to force tenants to pay for the heating of hot water as units do not have individual hot water heaters. The monthly cost for gas doubled. Also, be prepared to pay $2.75 per wash and per dry for your laundry. This is the most I've ever had to pay in Seattle for in-building laundry services. The location was certainly convenient for work, but the area is filled with homeless people and drug users. I saw used syringes in the alley on a fairly regular basis.

It's a government office, but they are reasonable and very helpful. There were a couple of errors on my application, but the staff helped me correct them right there. So, I was able to turn in my application without any errors and without any delay. Also, it only took 5 business days. I'm comparing this experience with the time when I renewed my son's US passport. I was turned away three times! They found one (and only one) error each time!

    We had our 1983 college reunion in Hyatt House/ Bellevue last week. The staff -Lisa, JL and…read moreRachel-- were such a great team who took care of us and our needs. They were efficient, professional and very pleasant to work with. Our rooms were comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed. Parking was free which was great. Breakfast was good to start our day with. Our gala nite in their spacious ballroom had all we needed for our program. The food "Northwest Fresh" was amazing and was still talked about the morning after. I highly recommend Hyatt House for a convenient stay based on their amenities, location and especially the amazing staff. Thank you Hyatt House!

    I stayed in the spring and debated about writing a review of this hotel, if you can call it that…read more First off, we had a problem with our room smelling somewhat stale and moldy, so we contacted the front desk to switch rooms. The hallways are dark and the carpet is dirty. The room itself was outdated, and uninviting and the brown couch in the sitting area needed to be scrapped because it was stained and lumpy. The bed creaked every time you moved around and was very uncomfortable like someone had laid in one spot. The pool area looked unkept and there was no visible lobby to sit and socialize. The stay included breakfast and it was subpar and the cooking area in the room didn't have an exhaust fan that worked. Also, note that this part of Bellevue is not the safest and right next to the freeway and an office park so noise is a factor as well.

    1st floor, 2 queens, spider on ceiling which was released outside unharmed. I'm sure it was as…read moreconfused as we were about how it got itself in this predicament. Staff were friendly and helpful when needed. Free shuttle was on demand (as opposed to on the hour) and even dropped me off across the street from the airport at my special request, albeit I was the only one on the shuttle. Bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. It helped that we were quite tired at midnight flying in from midnight. Walls are a tad thin, but nothing noise canceling headphones couldn't take care. Bathroom was small but more then what we needed for a quite overnight before heading to Sitka, Alaska. Breakfast was good. Small egg omelette with cheese, sausage patties, and pan roasted potatoes for me. Coffee was ok, reduce by the fact that they only had pump vanilla or hazelnut, and I'm not a fan. However, if you go to the waffle station, there is decent whipped cream, a better choice. For price point, this was an excellent choice.

    I never have high expectations for an Airport property, but this sets a new low…read more The Bad: - No one answers the phone period. Calling to get a shuttle? Good Luck. - Shuttle? Am scheduled @ 7:30am? Shuttle shows up @ 7:45 and leaves 10 min later. So plan your travels to SEA accordingly and allow for extra time. - Walls and doors are paper thin. Hallway noise and airport noise is off the charts. - No work area, with round table and lounge chairs, making any actual work hard to do. - Shower is a bit small and narrow, but still better than any TRU property. - Status goodie bag? - Nope. The Good: - Rooms are actually very clean and the bed is comfortable. - Shower water pressure is crazy good! If need a hotel near SEA again, will look elsewhere.
