Residence Inn Seattle Bellevue Downtown

It was close to the highway - close to downtown and the airport

It was a squeeze to get into parking

Great rooms and spaces. Amazing breakfast

Housekeeping was not great. no hot tub! Restaurant closed at 9:00

The hotel has a very spacious lobby area where it also serves as a venue for breakfast. The reception lady staff (forgot the name) was very pleasant and helpful. She gave us a list of recommended restaurants in the area. The only issue is the way how the furniture it's organized in the room. The drawer cabinet was not essential. Without it, the flow of the space would be better. The daily parking fee of $19 was reasonable for downtown Bellevue. We had a comfortable stay in this hotel and would return for our next visit to Seattle.

The breakfast was pretty good, I would say 7 out of 10 overall. Had a good variety but the quality was 6 out of 10. They had different things every day I was there and added a cold coffee section my last day, that was nice. The pool was big, always had towels and lots of seating. The work out room was big too and had lots of options, head phones available, very accomodating. I was on my last leg of my 13 day trip and had to do laundry, I was very happy they had it, and soap, washed fast had no issues.

Had to pay for parking per night. I thought it was for extra guests, but it is for anyone getting a room, you cant just park on their property. The pool was cool, but it was freezing and the front desk person just said oh we know and sorry, that was it. Swimming is our favorite thing to do and we only went once in 3 days because it was so cold. I dont like that breakfast is from 7am to 9am, that is a huge hotel and having to cram everyone in for breakfast in 2 hours made it a little choatic, especially the waffle station. I really did not have much luck with the front desk staff, they were very cranky and not very helpful, except one of them, which was Saturday morning.
