Hotels near Cold Stone Creamery in Bellevue

My husband and I stayed here while I was travel nursing. The staff was the absolute kindest and ever single one went above and beyond to make our stay great! It’s very clean has all you need for an extended stay! There are good restaurants and recommend the Crossroads Church across the parking lot! Great Sermon and message! Thank you All. We also brought our GSD Rooster and they loved him up too! Oh I almost forgot the fresh baked cookies every night at the front desk.

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 The bedrooms are grossly outdated, and when you look behind the doors, or in between the furniture, you’ll see how old this hotel is.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.

I have to note that I have stayed in so many hotels relocating from the East Coast to the West Coast, and I’ve been very surprised at certain hotel chains. This hotel was a delight!! I’ve worked in customer service for years, and I was always told that you be able to know who the manager is just by their leadership skills; I knew immediately that Raj was the General Manager. His professionalism, accuracy, and customer service skills were impeccable; by far the best I’ve seen and I’ve stayed at 25 different hotels during this journey. The hotel itself is also wonderful, which reflects on management also. Every front desk employee was excellent, and I appreciate some humor, and got some from a young lady. The rooms are immaculate, and very spacious; there are a lot of places to meet all your needs in terms of toiletries, wine, and many other things. You can ask the front desk so many questions and not only will they give you the answers, but they will make sure you understand where you are going. The entire team was dressed perfectly, something I’ve noticed has been lacking in other hotels. I think it’s also in the perfect location, because your right outside of Seattle, but not in the middle of all the chaos so you have a great deal peace, but can get to the city in 15 minutes approximately, This has been my favorite hotel that we have stayed at since bouncing around the Seattle area. I applaud Raj, and all management as well as the front desk agents, you truly are all wonderful, and I felt at home but better bc the hotel is just wonderful in all respects. Thank you North Gate for restoring my faith in hotels again.

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.

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've stayed at this property a long time ago, when parking was free. Not it is $8 per night, however, that is just the sign of the time. Our party of 4 stayed in building 6, in one of the ”penthouse” suites. One loft upstairs with its own full bathroom. One room downstairs with its own full bathroom. The door closes. There is a roomy living room space, and a full kitchen. 3 TVs in the unit. This was a great set up as our group could stay together and fee like we're ”at home”. Used the refrigerator, coffee maker and mugs, and utensils. Kitchen towel, paper towel, and dishwasher came in handy. The room was very quiet, but when the AC is on, it is a bit loud. If you are a light sleeper, pack a noise cancellation headset just in case. Breakfast was quite interesting. Heavy Indian influence, maybe the clientele here is unique. We stuck with the usual banana, yogurt, omelet, hash brown, coffee, etc. There is a walking trail through the woods that drain down to the area below. It was a great morning walk. Overall we had a very good experience staying here over the weekend (2 nights). Front desk staff was very friendly.

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.

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.

A nice peaceful location. The beds are very comfortable and it was super clean. Nice strong shower. Dinner in the bat was ”ok”. Pasta a bit greasy and the garlic toast could use a different kind of bread. Isn't the cheapest variety it's not good. I realize that breakfast changes periodically but I was bummed not to see more options as far as cold items like yogurt and cut up fruit beyond the whole apple or orange. The young man running the bar was very helpful and outgoing.

The hotel is close to the city center, the surrounding environment is good, quiet and comfortable, well-equipped, with a self-service laundry room, very convenient. The restaurant has delicious food, good service and reasonable prices. Off-season cost-effective.
