I stayed here over a long weekend getaway to hang with friends in the city. This is the first time that I've stayed in the Seattle suburbs instead of the city proper for a visit, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The hotel has remarkable accommodations, with plenty of on-site (paid for) parking, a full-featured complimentary breakfast (no bacon or sausage, but eggs, potatoes, cereal, juices, waffles, vegetables, vegetables, yogurt and fruit), a swimming pool (no hot tub), pretty good-sized and well-equipped gym, bar, and a lounge area with pool and shuffleboard. The rooms are surprisingly big, the kitchens are near full-featured (mine didn't have an oven, just a microwave, cooktop and dishwasher, but the sink had a garbage disposal and the fridge was full-sized). The couch was super comfortable, too, with a chaise at one end. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was on the louder side, and at times would sound like the ringing noise you hear when waiting for someone else to pick up their phone. My room also had a split seam in the carpet. The mattress and pillows were just unsupportive, and one pillow smelled like mold. However, being away from the freeway there was no traffic noise, and while in bed you couldn't hear any noise from the hallway. The property is about a 30 minute walk to downtown Bellevue, but a relatively inexpensive Lyft/Uber ride, or you can take the free shuttle service that serves the downtown area. There's also a new lightrail train station going in that may make the jump to downtown a little bit less of a trek. I'd stay here again. read more

The first time I stayed here was wonderful; I had great service, the room was clean and spacious, and the location ideal. The second time I stayed, it was an entirely different experience. When I went to check in, I realized I had lost my wallet. I offered to show them my reservation in their app, digital ID, a picture of my driver's license, and even exchange phone/email messages to confirm I was who I said I was. (I had already paid for the hotel through the app.) I also offered to use "Tap-to-Pay" to put down a deposit for incidentals or damage to the room. That was unacceptable as well. I was told that, due to fraud, they had put policies in place that prevented them from helping me. Luckily, I was able to backtrack and find my wallet, so I was able to check in a few hours later. But when I sent a message to the hotel about my experience, I was again told that they were "just following policy." Life events happen. Thank God I wasn't traveling with my kids. The fact that they weren't willing to work with me at all was incredibly disappointing, especially since I stay frequently at Marriott properties. So, I can't recommend this hotel. read more

Location - 2/5. If you are looking for a convenient place where you can walk around to get a cup of cappuccino or a nice meal within a walking distance, this hotel won't be that. This hotel is located at the boarder of downtown (right next to a freeway) and a bit off from the actual downtown Bellevue. You could walk to Bellevue Square in 30 minutes or drive to it in 10 minutes since it's only 1 mile away. But I wouldn't want to walk that far in my high heels for sure. If you are looking for convenience to shops and restaurants in Bellevue, I'd suggest the W or the Westin. Staff - 4/5. Hotel staff here is 200% nicer than the staff at Residence inn Seattle downtown convention center one. Breakfast - 2/5. No matter which Residence Inn I stay at, their complimentary breakfast is not exciting. You always get the fake eggs, same sausage, bacon, waffles, bagel, oatmeal, etc. You get tired of the food easily if you are doing a long stay like us often. Our default has been plain yogurt, fresh fruit, and coffee for breakfast. We wish that they had some espresso machines here since there is no nearby coffee shops. Hotel - 2.5/5. It's an old building, but they kept it pretty clean and modern like the U-village one. If you are looking for a bit more newer building, I'd suggest Aloft/Element hotels in Redmond/Bellevue near Microsoft visitor center or the Residence Inn Seattle downtown convention center one. This hotel is pet friendly so that's a big plus for us. read more

I picked the Residence Inn without any real idea of where it would be. I just needed a place that was central-ish to Redmond and downtown Seattle...and if I'm being honest I did it to avoid having to fight rush hour traffic back and forth. While the location is a bit further from things than I would have liked-it's not that close to downtown but I was mostly here for work so that it wasn't the prime concern, still it would have been nice to be able to hit a local watering hole. However, the staff there was very friendly and attentive. They made sure my laundry had a quick turn so I would get it in time for check out. I'm adding an extra star because my overall stay for a work trip was pleasant and friendly. read more

Terrible service. I came in 25 min early for check in and they wouldn't let me check in and made me wait outside for no reason. This was after the lady at the desk told me it's okay to come in 30 min early. Never coming back to this hotel again. read more

The room was super spacious and clean. The complimentary breakfast was very good and the front desk clerks was just so sweet. Both Auna and the woman who works the night shift were amazing, definitely would recommend staying here read more

People in the room next to mine we're playing loud music at midnight. I called the front desk. Lady at the front desk did not care. Stay somewhere else. read more

I think maybe 3.8 stars would be more accurate. Pros: friendly staff, decent gym and pool area, comfortable bed, clean room, beautiful lobby and tasty complimentary cookies, and I did like that you needed a room key to stay in the parking garage 'gated' area. Another perk is that Lincoln Bellevue Square is only 1-1.5 miles away which was nice. Cons: Some outlets didn't work, tv remote didn't work half the time, pull out sofa was incredibly flat and uncomfortable, breakfast was bland, coffee (both in room and in lobby) was just bleh, the happy hour food was bland too. Some things to note: parking is $14/night and our room came with a full kitchen including dishwasher, fridge, freezer, stove top and dishes/utensils. We did ask for a room with two queens and got a room with one king. Didn't want to deal with the hassle of changing it honestly. Overall - would I stay here again? Sure! But would it be my first choice? Probably not. read more

Initially our stay was great. I was greeted warmly and was able to pick which room I wanted. Entering the room was clean and comfortable which is basically all someone can really ask for at a hotel. Breakfast was mostly plain, nothing special but appreciated and got the job done. The ISSUE began when I accidentally broke my foundation (make up) bottle in the bathroom/ vanity area. I called the front desk IMMEDIATELY and asked them for housekeeping AND an emergency clean up. I was told "We will clean your room TOMORROW because we are backed up with house keeping. I explained to them that the spill was an EMERGENCY because I didn't want the stain to set in the tile and there was glass and I had any one year old son. They said "we will call you back". They called backed and told me someone one would arrive 30-40mins! I said ok and used ALL the towels to clean the mess the best I could. Once I left the hotel for hiking I got a phone call telling me they will have to charge me $150 dollars for the spill. They said there was a stain in the living room carpet that would not come out and that it was hair dye. I let them know that I did not have any hair dye and that the spill was in the bathroom area. My husband and son was securely in the living room space so that my baby would not have access to the glass on the tile floor, so it was impossible for whatever they stain to be cause by me. The woman told me she had not looked at it herself so she would take photos than would call me back and would NOT charge my card until they were sure. She called back and said it was hair dye and I would be charged. Because I was out and did not know what she was referring to I told her I understood and would follow up when I returned. Once I returned to the room the make up spill was cleaned and the space was immaculate! Although they had NOT SERVICED IN TERMS OF HOUSEKEEPING (NO TOWELS, TRASH, BED UNMADE ETC...) There also wasn't ANY STAIN IN THE LIVING ROOM AREA! I searched thoroughly and still couldn't understood what damage I was being charged $150 dollars for! I went down stairs and got the run around. First the lady at the counter couldn't help me so she called the housekeeping supervisors. I spoke to them for almost 20mins just for them to NOT be able to explain the charge or reverse it. They said the manager that authorized the cost was the only person who could explain the fee and reverse the fee. I asked them to contact her seeing that she was contacted to charge me in the first place. They recommended me talking to her the next day face to face and not on her "off day". They also said she decided on the fee by looking at photos of the spill, NOT how the space looked after they cleaned jt. I told them I respected their opinion and would speak with her the next day. The next day I finally spoke with Mandy the manager and initially she said she would lower the cost to $100. I told her I still didn't feel that was fair because there wasn't any damage to the space. She said she would wave the fee. Once I checked out my receipt was wrong and still had the $150 on it. I had to return to the hotel to fix it with Mandy. She said she "fixed" it. I was grateful. Until the transaction cleared days later and only $50 was returned to my account. I called Mandy the Manager and she said she would look into it further than would call me back. This was at 10am... by 3:30pm I called again to follow up. She verified my number and promised she would call me that evening to clarify. By 9pm I still had not received a call so I called AGAIN. Mandy was off of work and not available......... I asked for the number to corporate and was given an automated number. I was told I could leave my number for David the General Manager and he would give me a call. David never called. I called back this morning neither Mandy or David was available. I had to search google to contact corporate because to be honest at this point I felt I was being put on the back burner in terms of customer service because of probable racial bias. I spoke with corporate and was able to file a complaint. I called one last time and was able to speak to another manager Mindy who was very helpful explaining that the $100 would be returned to my account and was an "authorization" hold. I still don't comprehend how they took an entire EXTRA $150 immediately but only returned $50 and the remaining is an Authorized hood. But. What could I do about that? Mindy resent the receipt and explained that the tensing funds should apprear in my account soon. She also told me if there was an issue with the bank releasing the funds she would personally speak to them. OVERALL the hotel was pleasant, clean and has an incredible hard working staff. My review is two stars based on the poor customer service I personally received. I don't believe it proper to play with peoples money because they didn't play about taking it in the first place. read more

Returned to this Residence Inn location in Bellevue after staying at several other close by locations during the past year. I purposely chose this hotel for several reasons. The return of serving hot breakfast was important, allowing customers to eat on-site or request takeout containers. The second reason was the opening of their fitness facility but by appointment only. Being an early bird helps with getting open time slots no one else wants. The third reason is the availability of parking on-site and getting a space even during prime hours. Custer service and professionalism is displayed by the staff and overall, the facility is clean, especially the wide lobby area which has opened up more available seats to hang out in this area without the caution of social distancing. read more

Manager change has really affected this property. $14 per day plus $1.40 tax is a rip off. Must be a commission. When I pay 199$ per night plus another $35 in taxes parking should be included. New hotels all over the area are now open. I will not let my staff stay there again. Their staff is very friendly and the hotel is nice but value comes into question. read more

This is an awesome hotel! From the front desk staff including Samita, to the friendly dog behind the counter, this is a clean and we'll run hotel! There's a game room that rents Xbox games free on their escape room that's open till 11 pm. The pool is a bit small and cold and there's no hot tub, but it's clean and overlooks the wetland area. We had two connecting king suites (not the one bedroom) and they were great with full refrigerators, stove and dishwasher and microwave. The breakfast...oh my, the breakfast is spectacular...for a hotel free breakfast...eggs (white and regular scrambled), pork and chicken sausage, oatmeal bar with the fixings, chocolate croissants, and a make your own waffle station. There's chocolate chips and strawberry sauce and whipped cream! There's also a rice cooker with Asian spices...you can tell they're trying to cater to a wide variety of ethnic choices. The coffee and juice and tea are great, too! The only downsides were the lack of a hot tub and you had to pay for parking..$15/night. The clean rooms, soft towels, friendly staff and great breakfast all make for an excellent experience! read more

I've been living in airbnbs temporarily while I wait on my new home to close. Our Airbnb had a shower issue and when I suddenly found myself without a roof over my head, booked into the residence inn. Maria at the front desk was amazing in getting us situated with everything from room to parking to pet stay! We got situated in less than 15 mins thanks to the wonderful service. Should've just booked this place from the start. 10/10 would recommend always! read more

We stayed here one night from our way back to Portland from Vancouver. I was happy I decided to stay here to explore more of Bellevue since we had stayed at the Hyatt in downtown Seattle just a few days prior to our drive. The front desk as well as the housekeeping staff were all amazing. The hotel is clean, well kept, and very modern. The room has a full kitchen and is equippped with the essentials. Good size living area you seldom will get in a standard room. Aside from the indoor pool, they also have a gym. And their buffet breakfast is amazing. You get to hand pick what you want in your omelette and the chef makes it to order. There is also a do it yourself waffle station which is great for the kids to do! I would definitely stay here again! read more

This might be a great hotel for traveling workers, but not so much for families. Only positive is that it's located minutes from downtown. Parking is $10 a night. There is a key access only garage, but if you're lucky you can stag one of the ten open spots near the entrance of the hotel that requires a Tetris master to maneuver in and out of. read more

Road noise from nearby I-405 is a problem at this hotel. I had to switch rooms TWICE to get one that was quiet enough to go to sleep even with the windows closed. Part of the problem is that the hotel is so close to the highway. Another part is that many of the windows seem not to shut firmly in their frames anymore. Small gaps in the metal frames allow a lot of noise to come in. Aside from having to play late-night hopscotch with rooms I enjoyed my stay here. The staff are friendly, and the breakfast provided in the morning offers a wider array of choices than most competitors in this segment offer. read more

This is a great hotel to stay at and one of the few business hotels that I've ever stayed at that I would want to actually come back with family to vacation in the area. It has such a convenient location close to work, downtown Bellevue, and so close to I-90 to head to Seattle. The facilities are amazing! Such clean modern design in the lobby, and the rooms with their kitchens are spotless and new. Breakfast is yummy too with its calming nature view in the dining area. What really has impressed me is the exemplary service I've received each time.. This latest visit, I actually switched to their hotel last minute since the prior hotel that I was at had one room available on a ground floor which didn't seem the safest (big window in an unsafe area). The receptionist at that hotel let me out fortunately but not without rolling her eyes at me. When I arrived at the Residence Inn the hotel was fully booked and I was destined to a ground floor room again but the front desk receptionist was so understanding of my safety worries that a room that just got finished being cleaned she managed to switch me to on a higher floor.. So sweet! read more

Come here for number of times for business events and the staff is great the food is really good, the Internet used to be really fast. Over the last four or five months the Internet is nonexistent so I'm gonna have to go else where. If you working technology you have to have an Internet connection in order to work. No Internet I can't work, and I can't stay at a hotel that has slow Internet. read more

Service was good but the rooms next to the elevator were super loud- one of the elevator is real old and makes loud noises. We got another room but the lotion and stuff were half gone/used! Good staff and comfy bed, location is hard to find. (We are from Bellevue..) read more

One of the best experiences I've had at a hotel in recent memory. I decided to take my 5&4 year old on a staycation, and chose the Marriott Residence Inn because of the pool and Xbox lounge amenities. (Side note, I highly recommend the Marriott "bon voy" app. It made everything 10x easier from reserving the room to requesting towels.) When I arrived I was pleased to hear they also offered a complimentary breakfast (the hot food and waffle station was a pleasant surprise, as a lot of hotels only offer continental). They also offer a shuttle to local destinations. This was great as it allowed me to avoid trying to find parking on a busy Saturday night in downtown Bellevue. This amenity truly completed the vacation experience, though the highlight was the customer service at the front desk. The majority of my interaction was with Nahid, who seemed to be doing everything from checking in guests, fielding all guest phone calls, and even driving the shuttle! She was amazing from start to finish! She kept her composure during what seemed to be a busy Saturday night with large groups and a lot of arrivals. She really knows what she's doing. Joshua was also very accommodating, as he coordinated with my pizza delivery driver to drop off my pizza at the front desk as I was arriving later than the delivery. When I got back to the hotel, I was greeted by Joshua and told something I will never forget. "Your pizza is here. I kept it in the back on our warm printer so it could keep it's freshness as long as possible". Amazing, creative and hilarious. Thank you Nahid and Joshua for the incredible experience and enhancing my local getaway with the kids from a casual overnight a true "vacation". Marriott FTW read more

We stay at the Residence Inn in Bellevue whenever we're down for our 'Mariners Weekend'. Its close proximity to I-90 makes it very easy to get to the stadium and back after games. It is just as easy to enjoy downtown Bellevue as well. The greenbelt behind the hotel provides a relaxing view, and the internal design of the hotel is attractive and always spotless. Staff is welcoming, couretous and helpful, and it's nice to have a restaurant on-location, especially one with good food! Courtesy, cleanliness and convenience make this hotel a winner. read more

BEWARE!!! This hotel has a huge theft problem from vehicles parked in their parking garage and they don't tell you! Our vehicle was stolen on 12/30/18 while parked in their parking garage. We were later told by staff members (not front desk staff) that vehicle break ins were happening all the time there! Their are no security cameras in the parking garage! The hotel would not even comp us one night of our two night stay! The front desk manager didn't seem to even care about our situation. He was just a corporate puppet! DO NOT leave your car in their parking garage if you don't want it broken into or stolen!! read more

Pros: The room was clean, well-stocked, and up to date. The price per night was reasonable as well. Cons: There is a considerable amount of noise from the freeway. The vent system in the room was also very loud, and it seemed that the furnace was short-cycling all night. Translation: very difficult to get any sleep. If we need a place to stay near Seattle in the future we will look for something more quiet. read more

Need to have lower expectation. Arrived in the morning to drop off luggage and manager and team were hosting a meeting and slow to respond. We were to told to come back at 4pm for check in, which we did, but the rooms was not ready. We waited for 45 minutes and still no room. Just because the room is located on the top floor doesn't mean you clean it last and make the check in process less timely. If that's the case then check in should be 5 to set lower expectations. "This is a busy weekend" is not a sufficient excuse. If rooms are fully booked and the hotel is aware it's busy, management should increase staff count. Very disappointed. read more

I don't usually take the time to review chains, but this hotel has one of the best complimentary breakfast buffets I've ever experienced! They have a huge variety of the expected breakfast items like scrambled eggs, sausage, and yogurt, but also some more unique options like steamed vegetables, kimchi, and German coffee cake! So cool! Other than that, it's a pretty typical Residence Inn. The rooms are nice and spacious. As others have mentioned, it's a little annoying that there's an extra fee ($14/day) for parking in the garage. Obviously, being in Bellevue, it's not exactly in the heart of the city, but that has some advantages as well. For example, it's pretty convenient to the airport. I would definitely stay here again (even just for the breakfast)! read more

This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in the entire Marriott chain. The sofa bed is terribly smelly. The room is clearly not cleaned thoroughly. And when we requested some towel change and it never come for a whole night! Parking is also horrible, whoever come to visit must be very careful on how and where to park! read more

Checked in here in July and paid a little a bit more for a room with a "view". Checked in and the room is beautiful and clean as always as residence inns go. I check out the room and look outside and wow what a beautiful view of the parking garage. So I call back down and tell them it definitely isn't a view and I think her name was surmeet (Sorru if I am butchering your name!) was really nice and gave us another room. I walked in the next room and it was definitely better! Anyways the room was super spacious and wide just like an awesome one bedroom apartment! Breakfast is free and the fitness room plus the pool is 24 hours! That's really cool just in case you want a late night dive! Breakfast is free as always and the room is vast so no shortage of seats or food! I left here and then realized I left my bag of clothes here so when I got back I called and the front desk said they will call me back. One week, nothing, so I called again and then the housekeeper said they will get back to us. Nothing for a week. I called a total of five or six times. Today I finally called and someone named Carla picked up from the housekeeping area. And she was really sweet! She started looking and within minutes gave us a call in about five minutes with the bag of clothes ready to be shipped out! Way better interaction this time! Thank you Carla for being a great sport! read more

Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. The room was FREEZING cold although the temp was set to the highest setting of 80 degrees. We stayed here with our infant son so i called and let the front desk know that the thermostat was not working. The girl working in the front was very nice and offered to send up some additional blankets and to look at the thermostat the next day. When she brought the blankets there was a huge BLOOD STAIN on the blanket! Then we started noticing the hair in the sink and the sticky counters. My infant son had an accident on the sheets so we asked the front desk to please clean the room and Change the sheets while we were out. We had a long day out with 2 small kids so we even called the hotel at 9pm to confirm the room had been cleaned prior to us coming back since we had to put two small kids to bed. They assured us everything was done. We arrived back at the hotel and NOTHING had been cleaned or changed. I called the front desk and told them i needed someone to clean the room immediately and change the sheets and bring me towels. I was told someone would be right up. The lady came up and handed me a stack of sheets to put on the bed myself while i was holding an infant and trying to put a toddler to bed. Also the lady forgot to bring the towels so my kids had to wait another hour to take a bath. Finally we asked for a new room and they gave us a new one. The new room had a sticky table as soon as you walk in and a window that doesn't close all the way with the sound of very loud traffic. Overall, this hotel is disgusting and i do not recommend at all!! read more

True confession time: I'm a total hotel whore. Not the kind associated with the Emperor's Club and former NY governor Elliott Spitzer, though. More like I love hotels and I'm eager to just really enjoy everything about them. But, I'm also a bit picky of who I'm sleeping with (the hotel as well as private persons). I had a mad one-night stand with the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles http://www.yelp.com/biz/hyatt-regency-century-plaza-hotel-and-spa-los-angeles#hrid:rZQD_Mn2v3qSwOKB9zZMZA back in February - with its posh and polished confident swagger, it made me swoon with luscious desire. But, it was over almost as soon as it started. For my milestone West Coast portion, I wanted it to be special since it was my first time - to visit since 2006. I'll admit that I love Shatner and his Priceline vamping but I opted out of that crapshoot since I found a sweet, sweet deal on the Marriott website. Details: - Under their "Cars Eat Free" promotion, the daily rate was $89 for each night Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. - Free in-room internet, free hot breakfast buffet, and free parking (normally $10/night) was included. - Each stay was further rewarded with a $25 gas card per night given at checkout. - Each room is a suite with a fully-stocked kitchen (full sized fridge, 2-burner range, sink, dishwasher, cabinets, new pots, pans, cooking utensils, ceramic plates, glasses, mugs, and flatware). If you provide them with a grocery list by 9 AM, they will shop for you and deliver the goods by 5 PM - the food cost goes on your master account. - Each suite has a 40-inch LCD on a swivel on top of the chest of drawers so you can watch from the sofa or the bed. - The breakfast buffet was outstanding and loaded with nearly everything under the sun: cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, 2 milk choices, decaf and regular coffees, biscuits with gravy, grits, scrambled eggs, sausage links, bagels, croissant, muffins, and four juices. You can also make your own Belgian waffles if that feedbag wasn't good enough for you. - The building is a little over a year old and the public areas are upscale, modern, bright, and inviting. - They have an indoor swimming pool, small fitness facility, and self-serve coin laundry for those longer stays. They have 3 computer stations and 3 Xboxes for guest use in the media room, too. Games are free to check out at the front desk. - A free shuttle is available if you want to go to bourgeois downtown Bellevue for some shopping. - The attached parking garage is three levels (no elevator) and the spaces are pretty tight but leave your monster truck at home and you'll be fine. My compact Nissan Versa tucked into the spaces nicely. Check out the pics to get a fuller flavor of what this place looked like. All of the staff were fantastic: at the front desk, Alicia checked me in, welcomed me warmly, and gave me the rundown on the amenities. After my first night sleep and shower, she asked how the stay was going - I mentioned that the shower temperature was tepid despite being put on full hot. She logged my item for maintenance to check out - it was fixed by the time I returned that afternoon. The breakfast was slammed on the weekend I was there - which was when the University of Washington was hosting the #3 ranked USC Trojans (and losing to the unranked Huskies in sweet irony). But, the staff gamely persevered and kept everyone happy. If you look at my review profile, you'll note that I give out few 5-star ratings. This is one of them since they provided excellent service, excellent décor, and excellent amenities for the money. A truly outstanding value for Bellevue - 15 minutes by freeway to Seattle. read more

We checked into the hotel as the storm approaches. I was surprised to see the low rates, 127/93/93 for 3 nights, which also fell on the weekend. So - my expectations were fairly low. I was pleasantly surprised. The front desk staff checked us in rapidly, and the rooms are spacious and clean. I'm a clean freak and it was up to my standards. We booked a king bed standard room, which has a full kitchen with provided silverware and plates. It had a stainless steel fridge, microwave, and even a electric range for moderate levels of cooking. The other surprise was the food, it was actually really good! We had a mushroom Swiss burger (11$), grilled cheese (9$) and a Cronut (5$). The fries that came with the burger, were some of the best I've ever had (no joke). It is fried golden brown and then it has this addictive crunchy crusty coating. The burger was grilled perfectly and accompanied with fresh garnish. I would stack it up to any other finer establishments. The grilled cheese was stuff you expect at Lot 3, and the Cronut was perfectly fried and frosted with cinnamon, sugar and chocolate. Food + tax + 20% tip = 34$. And well worth it. My wife, daughter, and I were stuffed. If you want a clean, spacious hotel, with good food at a great rate in Bellevue. This is the place. I plan to swing by just for the food. Great for a staycation. read more

Check out the picture I posted for this place. The Chair in the room was in completely unacceptable shape. The AC would turn itself off, even though it was in "on" state with the room still hot. The staff was kind but the rooms stink. The pillows were super uncomfortable as was the bed. read more

Residence Inn Seattle Bellevue/Downtown - Chairs in your room are disgusting - Hotels Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Wow, this was a nice Residence Inn. It seemed more like a full-service Marriott. The lobby was big and beautiful. The breakfast area was wonderful, bright and clean, with an amazing free buffet breakfast. There is a huge underground parking garage with easy access into the hotel. I used my Marriott points for the room, but that did NOT cover the $14 a day parking fee. The parking fee is worth it - it's a secure, underground parking lot. My suite was typical Residence Inn. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and I love how it had a full kitchen. The suites are very spacious, with a separate living space and a little dining table. Bathroom was clean and functional. No complaints about the suite at all. On the bottom floor is a pool and a very good laundry room. There's also a gym (I never use a pool or a gym). The people at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The icemaker in my suite didn't work properly, so they were very gracious about giving me bags of ice; I appreciate that. I was visiting Seattle, but hotels there are way too expensive, so I chose this hotel (it wasn't cheap either regarding use of points, but it was better than Seattle). It's a quick drive into downtown Seattle (give or take the awful traffic in Seattle). I didn't really explore the Bellevue area, so I can't say what's there. I did venture out one day, and about a mile away was a very nice grocery store and a bunch of little shops. This was very convenient to the freeway to get into Seattle. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Pros: -EXTREMELY clean and modern hotel (inside and out) -located in a safe area -large rooms with living room, kitchen, and dining area -free hot breakfast, coffee, and tea every morning -courteous staff -free Wi-Fi Cons: -overnight parking fee of $14/day -limited space in parking garage (especially during evening hours) -parking stalls are very narrow Nevertheless, will definitely return when visiting Seattle! read more

Perfect for family short-long term stay hotel. For starters, our check-in was smooth, of course with pre-check in done 24 hours earlier. Our room was impeccably clean with stainless steel appliances, updated furniture, tiled flooring and cozy bedrooms with modern deco, clean bathrooms and functional showers. Couldn't be more happier. The breakfast here has a wider variety, a bigger serving area and sitting area for the many guests who stay at this location. Food running out is replenished fast. The staff here is very pleasant, from the front desk, breakfast crew, bar area to the folks who clean rooms. The outside area is well manicured, slabbed and tiled in the parking area, anchored by decorative flower pots and planters around the hotel. Above all, this hotel is in the best location, barely 2 miles from downtown Bellevue. This means your dinner, shopping and entertainment needs will be met relatively easily. Downtown Bellevue has an upscale Bellevue square mall for shopping, a mirriad of dining places and entertainment places to wind your day at. The 405 is right next to this hotel, making it easier to get on the freeway from the hotel. A few notables, related to parking: $14 a night is the cost, per vehicle. Space is a bit tight for most vehicles if you desire indoor/covered/garage parking. I recommend parking in the 3rd floor as the spaces here are bigger and unobstructed as long as you are ok with non-covered parking. Overall, this is one of a few Residence Inn hotels whose location, rooms, staff, service, you name it all, surpurs most of its peers of the same brand in other locations! read more

This was a pretty standard hotel experience, except for one thing. When this hotel says it does breakfast, it DOES BREAKFAST!!! Simply the best hotel breakfast I have ever had. I didn't like anything about Seattle, except this wonderful hotel's multi-cultural breakfast extravaganza! Don't skip it, it's got something for everyone and it was all fresh and delicious. BAMF!!!! read more

Gorgeous hotel in a more remote part of Seattle, without the hustle and bustle of downtown but close enough to still not break the bank on a taxi. There are protected wetlands in the back with fresh blackberry briars. Absolutely gorgeous. read more

Spent the weekend in Seattle so chose a hotel a little bit aways to help with price which this did. Had to pay for parking which is the norm with Marriott hotels so that wasn't a shocker. It was in a safe neighborhood which was great. Not much around the hotel though it's off a busy street nothing in walking distance. Morning complimentary breakfast was amazing. Great spread each day and it varied a bit. The area was always clean and restocked right away. My only complaint is the layout of residence inn rooms. I know they are all similar/ the same. I can't get to liking how close the bed is to the bathroom area it's RIGHT THERE. If you're on the side of the bed near there be sure to bring air freshener after friend/partner/family uses the bathroom because you got a front row seat to all the action! Other than that it was great stay. Front desk was great for one of the times we were there the next not so much. But nobodies perfect! read more

Love this hotel! It's absolutely clean and the service very friendly. The bedding, the towels, the tub, the sofa - everything is just very clean and that's what's most important to us. My 2 year old also enjoyed her time while at the hotel. We made good use of the kitchenette to cook food for her so we can go to any restaurants our hearts desire without having to worry what to feed our daughter. We got free daily parking and breakfast everyday while we were there and $25.00 gas card for each day we stayed. Breakfast was pretty good downstairs - something we look forward to in the morning! Highly recommend this hotel and will definitely book it again when we are in Seattle. read more

Really great place. CLEAN, really nice staff, wifi in the rooms, excellent breakfast included. We stayed with our family of five (3 boys ages 10-14) in a 2 bedroom suite with a full kitchen. Very easy in and out of seattle (right on the 405). Mostly, the staff are SO friendly and nice, we really felt so comfortable here -- we were in town for eight days to visit family and had our extended group of 18 over for take-out in the lobby for dinner one night and the staff could not have been cooler or more helpful (brought us an ice bucket for our beverages, plates for our takeout because we forgot...) Highly recommend! (And I'm picky) read more

Stayed there last week for business trip. Room was excellent, if a little cramped. Too many tables. Otherwise, bed comfortable, full size fridge and bath. They serve breakfast and dinner. The fitness room even has earphones you can keep and apples. Indoor pool, too. Staff was fast and courteous as we got a meeting room change due to some mis-communication. They even sent an engineer within a couple of minutes to quiet a noisy ventilator (altho he came without tools). read more
