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 The bedrooms are grossly outdated, and when you look behind the doors, or in between the furniture, you’ll see how old this hotel is.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

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.

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 had booked two rooms for this past weekend. I have stayed at this hotel before and wanted to return. My first stay here was met with great customer service, and it was only replicated upon this stay! The staff were amazing and so friendly. Would specifically like to thank the GM Danielle and Kris Young for their hospitality. I had booked two rooms for the weekend. Danielle and Kris went above and beyond to accommodate connecting rooms. They also were very diligent in helping with any further requests. Being a Hilton Honors Gold rewards member, they make you feel like royalty! The balcony by the pool is a great place to hang out! The staff does an outstanding job with fulfilling requests and keeping the place so very clean!

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.
