Top Business Hotels in Bellevue

I’ve stayed at this hotel whenever I’m in Bellevue, WA for well over thirty years. My earliest memories of this property were as a Red Lion Hotel. Then it became a Double Tree and finally, on its deathbed , it’s a Hilton. How the mighty have fallen… Not withstanding the property, which I’ll get into, I will say that the staff are generally kind and helpful. So this review is not to diminish their efforts. However hard they work, the reality is this property is beyond salvage and should be torn down and a new property should be built in its place. The bedrooms are grossly outdated, and when you look behind the doors, or in between the furniture, you’ll see how old this hotel is. While it’s sizeable in space and scope, the elevators are tragically slow, with two-of-four being out of commission when we stayed there recently. Sadly, the water pressure is so low it takes forever to wash and rinse. Our keycard failed three separate times, requiring a long walk and painful elevator ride back to the main desk where the staff reset the keycard. The pool is functioning, but there were never enough chairs and loungers. Add to this there were never enough fresh towels and you’re getting the taste of mediocrity this hotel delivers. One absolutely disgusting site is the swamp that lies just beside the pool (down the concrete foundation about twenty feet). I have no idea who thinks this is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not. It’s home to a few ducks who clearly have poor taste in accommodations, as did we. This poolside unattraction is downright ugly. One thing I was interested to see were several staff members not wearing any type of formal Hilton uniforms. The breakfast buffet chef was literally dressed in Carharts with a t-shirt, work boots and a ball cap on. And one of the maintenance staff looked like he just walked in off the street. Management must have been on vacation at another property. Finally, the outside of the building, including the massive sloping glass facade, clearly hasn’t been washed in decades. And worse, yet, the parking area is filthy to say the least. Food containers, candy wrappers, cigarette butts and hygiene products lay a strewn for days with no effort to maintain a modest effort in appearance. This was the last time we will stay at this hotel. If you want to save yourself frustration and disappointment, I encourage you to stay at the new Marriott up the street. Literally blocks away, it’s a cleaner, nicer bet.

This is one of the best hotels in the region for long stays. The staff is kind and co-operative and do their best to be available when you need, but leave you alone at all other times. The ambience felt very similar to having your own home with your own garden. Rooms are good, ambience is good, but the best part is the kind and friendly staff who genuinely do try their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Particularly for me, Yezenia, Semira, Adrianne, and especially the Director Corry, took great efforts to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Without their constant support in every common and uncommon issue I faced (particularly the uncommon ones), my stay would have been much less enjoyable.

The Red Lion hotel is conveniently located just off of 405 and a few blocks from Bravern shopping. The staff were great throughout our stay, checked us in early and were always pleasant. Although the hotel is a little dated the actual room is nicely decorated with a really comfortable bed. The room came with a refrigerator and a microwave.. The reception offers complimentary coffee and small snacks to go purchase shop. There is a “to go” breakfast included because of the ongoing public health issues. These breakfast get a little old as different hotels offer different interpretations of a “to go”. Some hot items like normal taken to the room etc like eggs and meat patties, this one offers a bag with a hard boiled egg, a yoghurt, an apple, a muffin, and some juice. Perfectly adequate but just tired of these cold selections. Overall a great choice and would stay again next time in Bellevue.

I reserved two rooms, online, one with mobility accessibility for my sister and the other for hubby and me and I requested adjoining rooms so we could help my sister or chat with her. It's a bit tricky to get into the street where the hotel is located as it is on a small street with only a sign which says AC Lounge as have passed it the first and second night of our stay and we still have 3 more days to go. Valet parking for $39 is available and a necessity for us as my sister has mobility issues and needs a cane to get around. I had chatted on the mobile app about getting adjoining rooms the day before our arrival and they were able to get a mobility accessible room adjacent to our room. My sister had a king bed in her room and ours had a queen and they were located only a few steps from the elevator. The rooms have only 2 small drawers and a small area for hanging up clothes, a safe, a refrigerator with two complimentary water bottles, a hot shot for hot water. The room is just right for the two of us and the bathroom has a big rain shower head as well as a handheld shower head and I love the citrus scent of the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. It smells so clean and fresh. The room is basic with minimal frills. This is a pet friendly hotel, and there is treat jar for pets! Olga was very helpful when we checked in and the only thing is that we had a hard time understanding what she was telling us as English we believe is her second language. The first morning we were here I went to the 24 hour fitness center located on the lobby level and it's great with water available, towels, sanitizing wipes, complimentary ear phones in case you don't have any, and my favorite props like the stability, medicine and bosu ball as well as free weights. I'm not much for machines but I do enjoy doing balancing and core exercises. The bosu ball needs more air in it though and should be checked periodically. Then we had their buffet breakfast which was $22 a person which includes, juice, coffee, scrambled eggs, deli meats, pastries, english muffin with sausage or ham, tea, hot oatmeal, milk, almond milk, yogurt, all kinds of fresh fruit like strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cantaloupe, bananas, which all made for a healthy meal or not! Also there's a microwave and ice machine (called the hydration station) available on every floor for your convenience.

Location of the hotel is amazing. Room condition and overall services of the hotel were good. All the necessary and touristy places are nearby. Guest Services is very helpful. But Hotel should have in room dining for dinner as well.

It’s particularly good. There are many activities for children to participate in. The swimming pool is a standard pool. You can play tennis and basketball. The office environment is good. The service staff are efficient and have a high attitude. The environment in the area is good.

We just left the Residence Inn Bellevue after checking out of room 743 for three night and it was one of our worst hotel stays in a long time. I’m a Marriott Ambassador member and pretty much live in hotels and this stay was beyond rough. We booked a two bedroom room and upon checking in they gave us a mobility accessible room which was fine except for the fact that we brought our little kids who had access to everything (knives, the door locks, garbage disposal switch etc). The real problem was the noise, the room is situated right on the 405 freeway and we couldn’t sleep at all. When I checked in I asked the lady at the front desk and she said it would be quiet which it wasn’t. Then the next morning when I went down to ask about a room switch the morning desk manager told me all the 2 bedrooms are on the freeway corner and she verbatim said “the 2 bedroom rooms are loudest rooms in the whole hotel and she has no idea why they even sell them or situated them right on the freeway”. On top of the no sleep for three nights we paid an absurd $550/night for the Residence inn. The room is in need of a major facelift with banged up cabinets, stains in the floors, torn up carpeting, etc. Also on top of the cake there was a crushed up medicine under the couch that our two year old found, so they need to drastically need to do a much better job cleaning. This whole hotel stay was very rough and I high advise to stay somewhere else next time!

We had two rooms, with four queen size beds, for our five person group (grandpa, son and wife, two grown grandchildren). Our stay was for nine nights; we alternated day trips into Seattle with trips to the parks . . . Olympic, and Mt. Rainier. The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs; we could get into Seattle by car in under a half hour or we could take the bus which stops a block away. The area was safe and the city of Bellevue seems clean and upscale. There are many restaurants of all types within walking distance. The rooms have mini fridges which gives you some 'cost control' for breakfast and for snacks. The only negatives were that there was no breakfast included and most nearby restaurants opened around eleven. Also, the parking cost $20 plus tax and the spaces are very tight and the entrance and exit are awkwardly set up. The front desk was very nice and, we had a great time and we would go back again to this hotel.
