The Aztec goddess of water…read more Once we're off the plane we really do flow like water as we travel down to baggage claim and customs. One of the highlights of returning to Seattle from an international flight is seeing this piece of art. It's a unique welcoming gift. First you'll have an aerial view then once you're on the ground floor you'll really get to see how huge the pieces are. The sheer size and vibrant colors changes my attitude after being on a plane for hours. It brings up feelings of playfulness and energy. It reminds me of scrunchies I used to wear in elementary school. This is a nice addition to the airport. It's definitely one of my favorite public art pieces.

Bellevue Botanical Garden is a beautiful place. And the fact that it is always free too! It's open…read moreevery day even holidays! To be a small botanical garden, there's a nice walking path and many, many beautiful flowers and plants to see. There are often local community events hosted here. Activities for the young to adults. They have classes that you can find and sign up for on their website as well. And the classes are affordable!! You may even see people taking wedding photos here because again it's beautiful. The park is ADA friendly. The path is dirt and pebbled but can be navigated with a wheelchair. There are bathrooms on site and a small shop. I have never purchased bulbs or plants from here but I know there is a big community around that. The coffee shop in the garden can get busy. But a benefit is we were able to charge my husband's wheelchair there on a visit. While the park is open every day, the coffee shop is not. Definitely this should be a spot for all locals. And not just a one time visit either.

This was a nice little find. We got here late as my sister had to take her son to this de's appt…read more By the time we got to Seattle, it was already 1 pm. Once the entire family met up, we climbed back into the car and headed to Bellevue. Not sur if it was due to the time. But we were surprised there was a lot of parking available. We spent a good 2-hrs here which included getting lost and finding other street entries into the botanical park from a school and from other busy street corner at the bottom of the park. Nice and shaded, quiet little creeks, plenty of seating for those that were inspired to journal, plenty of elderly people using this time to exercise and stretch. We enjoyed the different areas like the swinging bridge, the Japanese garden and even the little cafe they have there. Fairly priced items and plenty of tables to enjoy a refreshment and snack. By the time we were done, the gift shop was already closed. So I took the opportunity to drop a donation into the box instead.

This review is for a Day Use stay at this Hotel, which worked perfect for after an early morning…read moredisembark time from our cruise and as we waited for an evening flight to go home. Check in was 9am. Check out was 5pm. Total cost was $139. We spent the time napping, showering, and dining. The room was very spacious, clean and with good charging stations. The Day Use pass gives you access to their pool and fitness center too. I felt totally refreshed after chilling out here before our flight. They had deer free shuttle to the airport--another plus for us! I should note that it is a bit noisy and busy area. The noise didn't bother us a bit for the short time we were there.

In a nutshell: A haunted 1990s time capsule with excellent French fries. This place is stuck in…read more1992!! The hallways are legit horror movie energy. The carpet is cheesy. The pillows are deflated pancakes. I thought I would get stuck in the elevator so I opted for the stairs. The parking garage machine refused our room keys entirely. Room #1: The toilet completely refused to flush. Front desk was incredibly nice and apologetic when maintenance never showed up to assess the toilet situation. They moved us to another room down the hall and gave us a $50 credit to Spencer's. Room #2: The door was not latched and was OPEN when we arrived. Found someone else's mascara stained towel on the shower. There was also old water sitting in the ice bucket on our table. Decided to go downstairs to use the coupon.. Spencer's took an hour for a simple takeout order. They literally stack dirty guest plates directly on top of the trash can and what appeared to be a sanitation bucket (see photo). Partner said crab was good, but the "prawns" were small. The crème brûlée arrived as a box of warm soup. I was given cheesecake when I ordered the German Chocolate bread pudding... so had to wait longer. The fries were absolutely spectacular though..the staff is sweet, but this "Hilton" is a total disaster for the price.

The complimentary AV equipment was very useful and we were very grateful it was already included, other facilities charged us for everything extra we needed.
