Red Lion Hotel Bellevue

A couple of Locals here. This Red Lion is a good spot - near highways and not too far from downtown Bellevue. The staff are 5 Star folks; friendly and kind. Really the only issue holding them back is that they charge for overnight parking, which is just a $15-20 gouging that is not warranted for the area it is in. Especially considering that they have plenty of parking lot and are technically not in an urban or city area that would justify charging customers a surprising fee for such a vacant parking lot. The $15-$20 we saved on the nightly rate we ended up paying the hotel. Not a big deal but customers care about the little fees you add to “us”.

I was very concerned and disgusted when I noticed several cobwebs in the corner near the floor closest to the window. If you're looking for a modern hotel, this one is not it. Popcorn ceilings, wall paper on the walls and regular lamps with no plugs on them. Speaking of plugs, I had to plug my phone in in the bathroom because there were no extra outlets on my side of the bed. The lamp and the alarm clock occupied the one plug on my side. The TV was updated but for some reason we had to hold it down for like 10 seconds for it to come on. And 10 seconds for it to turn off. Fridge and microwave seemed okay but we did not use them much. Bring your own sleep mask if you want to keep it dark longer in the mornings because the curtains let in plenty of light in the morning.

Google took us to the back of the place and there were no signs pointing to the lobby. There are no room numbers on the doors to make it easier to find the rooms. Please improve signage. Everything else was good.

I stayed in room 274 it’s directly across from the ice machine and vending machine. there is no partition to help with the sound. There was people getting ice at all hours. It was anwful. Also the vending machine says $2 for drinks with cash but the up charge to use a card is $5 and they blocked the cash hole. So $7 for a drink but it was sold out of water anyways. Front desk vending was also sold out of water. Room was a little dingy but overall clean and staff was polite.

clean up for breakfast an hour early didn’t get any and that’s part of why i even stayed at the hotel , Worker Didn’t seem to care very much. Felt like i was a burden even staying there.

The rooms were clean, but it was very strong with room spray. The girls at the desk were very unfriendly. Never smiled, and didn't talk much. It was clean building and couldn't hear the freeway which was awesome!

Clean and comfortable hotel, friendly staff, ideal for those on a budget.

The front evening greeter was on her phone and didn’t look up when we walked up to the counter.

Great location in Bellevue. Close to shops and restaurants. Bedding was very worn and hotel is not clean. Breakfast is very basic, cereal and bagels.

Room was clean, smelt funny…. Breakfast was not to die for

Red Lion was fantastic twenty years ago it was THE place to stay. What happened to it I dunno but boy what a disappointment in Seattle. No restaurant and included breakfast the toaster didn’t work and breakfast was cello wrapped cheap energy bars. No housekeeping…fresh towels required a request at the front desk and linens were not changed in four nights unless you requested at the front desk. Poorly maintained and no services whatsoever. What happened to RedLion??????

Stairs to my room without an elevator available, mattress had a definite hollow in it and needs to be replaced, bathroom was clean but appeared to be mid-renovation (cabinet partially sanded, no finish), badly stained curtains.

Great place to stay enjoyed the experience!!!

N/A

Dont stay here

The only complaint I have is that it said the pool would be open for memorial weekend and I was there the weekend after and it was not open, and the bath towels need to be larger otherwise everything was perfect

The breakfast was pretty good.

Staff was great.

Pleasantly Surprised! Don’t let the “vintage” appearance deter you from staying here. The room was quite large and clean, had a nice bathroom and super comfortable beds. There is a convenient tram station right across the street!

Breakfast fair, 4pm check in a bit too late Breakfast from 6am

The location was great. They charge you $15 to park your car. Staff was very unfriendly. Never smiled. Was not welcoming at all.

Breakfast from 6am

Staff

The bed was comfortable I’m so dirty mold in the bathroom paint peeling in the hallway dirty carpets in the hallway. Total rundown total dove in a very high-end area of Washington state charge for early check in when the room was ready. I was two hours early pay for parking which would be fine if the rooms were nice curtains had holes in them absolute dump.

The room was clean enough, and the staff was helpful, but the breakfast was a simple continental breakfast.

I stayed for one night with my sister and we were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were fantastic and so very helpful, we forgot toothpaste and the front desk was happy to help. Check in and check out was quick and easy. We had the best sleep we had in months. The breakfast in the morning was one of the better grab and go breakfasts we have enjoyed. We will definitely be back again.

Windows rattled from traffic, big dog barking all night across from me. After staying a few nights when I asked to move I was told I would have to check out and wait until 4 to check back in. I know that is not true as my former travelling companion was moved without a problem. Property run down but staff usually nice. Housekeeping very nice.

Close to where my meeting was being held. Hallway not secure.

Todo muy limpio y organizado el personal muy amable lo único que el desayuno si está un poco suave deberían de meterle más opciones

The location of the hotel is nearby or walkable to areas of shopping and food. There are ample parking too. Breakfast was horrible and I wish that it could be something good even if its small variety. All pastries are not good and even the butter and spread. I feel sad of wasting them. I find most of what they have are unhealthy. If you are bringing kids, I'd say bring them their food or go somewhere else. Our heater/airconditioning was not working, We were told to wait before it adjusts but it never worked. We were tired and just let it be.

Breakfast was disappointing. Curtains had holes in them. Stuffing in pillows melted and clumpy.

The staff were welcoming and the room and shared spaces were nicely kept. The pool was under maintenance so that’s I reviewed 3/5 but overall confidently located from downtown Bellevue and a 20 min drive to downtown Seattle.

The staff was kind and helpful when we asked questions. Unfortunately our room wasnt clean. There were hairs from a previous guest in several places in the bathroom as well as a dirty hand towel behind the toilet. I saw it shortly after we arrived and we hadnt unpacked I used the toilet right away after arrival. which is when I noticed all the hair and while cleaning it up noticed the dirty wash cloth.

Pleasant front counter lady. But the property in poor condition (smells like sewer, walls were stained with who knows what, stickie carpet, damaged furniture, unsafe windows. we had to leave and find another hotel to spend the night

Clean room, smelled in the hallways, front desk indifference

It was run down and very sketchy

Pleasant

the room smelled like urine. the bathroom wasn't clean. there is a space between the bathroom cabinets and the sink counter top of about 2 ish inches. the amount of debris that has accumulated there is absolutely disgusting. the shower head spray is so wide on one of the settings that it almost hits the entire floor, plus the bathtub, plus the adjacent wall. you can tell that this has caused water damage to the doors and floors. the sheets were thankfully clean and I didn't see any bedbugs because that was my first thought just based on the smell. thankfully I only stayed for one night. I don't personally think that the rooms issues are due to staff, it just seems like an old hotel that hasn't been maintained or upgraded since the 80s and the staff are doing their best with a bad situation.

Dirty hallways but the front desk guy was super cool

So we stayed at this property a few years ago and it was great they had the best breakfast. Well this was a completely different experience this property charges you $15 a day to have your car parked, no valet or gated parking garage just their lot… I’ve never heard of hotels doing this other than valet or a gated property. When we checked in they did not state that it would be $15 a day, when we filled out the paper of what car we had we thought that was for towing unauthorized vehicles… Then they clap back saying I should have read what I was signing, name one other hotel with a normal parking lot that charges you?!?thats insane. This isn’t the ritzcarlton this is a pro dunk redlion. They also do not have breakfast buffet anymore just grab an go single item. Will not book again.

Brenda was most welcoming/helpful. Everthing was fine although had picked facility for pool and it was not open. Suggest "seasonal" be added to pool listing.

Better breakfast

No true handicap access because the parking access is full of holes and crack bumps it’s not safe for cane, walker, or chair. Ice upstairs and no elevator so also ADA noncompliant. The lawn had at least six piles of dog feces aging in long grass. We love that they allow pets but there should be a pet area or bags or maintenance. Dead batteries in the tv remote and there was no staff to bring more without leaving the front desk unattended. One small set of towels for two people. Worst concern was that the room couldn’t be fully secured because the latches on the screen and slider were both broken. The flimsy bar across was easily dislodged with a small amount of jiggling. The good: Bed was comfortable. There is a fridge and microwave in the room.

Easy check in process! I consistently return to this hotel for its ease and reliability

Easy parking. No elevator but a great plaave

I called before I booked a stay here to confirm if i can have early check in (1 day before ) they said no problem at all and asked what time i would be checking in and room. Once i arrived, they wanted to charge me $75 to check in 2 hours early. When the whole room was $85, after I explained i was never told this, the guy didnt care and didnt do anything. I sat in the lobby to look at more places because after the rude guy and what happened, i would be damned if i paid another $75 for a room there, I looked down and had two ants crawling on me so i stood up and saw 2 more on the chairs. I got out of there quick and filed a dispute with my credit card

I feel like if you’re going to have a hotel in Bellevue Washington, you should be matching the vibe of Bellevue Washington. It’s literally an eyesore in the middle of a beautiful city. It is horribly outdated. That carpet in that room had to be 50 years old. Yes, the beds were comfortable, but they might as well have been twin beds. They were so tiny. The TV had no sound and nobody managed the noise issue. There was a full on sorority party in the room next door till 3 AM. And why charge for parking you had more parking in that lot than the entire city combined.

Everything was great!

Inexpensive

Clean room quiet stay

The staff was wonderful but the hotel is quite old and it shows its age. Don't expect much in the way of breakfast - it's really just granola bars, cereal, and toast. Our shower was clogged but they were able to move us to a new room which we appreciated.

convenient location and good value needs a bit more moderization with respect to the overall look and feel

convenient location and good value needs a bit more moderization with respect to the overall look and feel

I had a nice stay here, the room was clean and quite, only wish they had a better breakfast.

Thought we had a carbon monoxide leak, so we needed to evacuate the family. Two kids, two cats, two dogs. Red Lion was perfect and I’m always so happy to patronize pet-friendly hotels!

Easy parking, but the toilet was still running until I pulled the plug in the toilet bowl. Otherwise, it was a good place to stay in.

Special mention to the absolute joke of a breakfast - it did not have any hot food - you can reheat a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, or maybe toast a bagel.

amazing place, value for money

Rundown place with clean rooms.

Nothing Thermostat, broken drain, Housekeeper didn't clean room the second day.

Nothing Thermostat, broken drain, Housekeeper didn't clean room the second day.

Yes and good.

They supposedly wash the sheets and switched them out but we found a piece of hair that I think was from in the groin area with hair with lice. Luckily we checked the bed before jumping into bed. The floors going into the rooms were filthy and had crumbs everywhere. I personally didn’t feel comfortable wearing no shoes in the room itself. The rooms have a sore smell/stench. There was a yellow stain on the wall which I didn’t want to look at it too much before getting very disgusted. We only booked due to just needing a 1 night stay for only a few hours of sleep. When we mentioned the front desk about the hair with a big issues, she immediately apologized and switched us rooms. She was very kind and understanding. However it’s one of those things that you get what you pay for. We have stayed here about 3 times but this last time has done it and we won’t continue to stay here anymore.

Parking was spacious, rooms are mostly clean and stuff is available any time you need.

The hallways had not been vacuumed. The room had paint chipping off the walls. Just an older hotel that needs a face lift. The beds were clean and comfortable. Will stay at another hotel next door for the price next time

The breakfast was a disappointment.

I left some clothes in the room closet after I checked out and when I realized this after 2 days and returned to retrieve them I had a difficult time getting the staff to retrieve them. I was told they couldn’t go to the room and check nor could I and we would have to wait an hour for housekeeping to return from lunch. There was a plane to catch and so I left without the clothes.

Parking was easy and secure.

Convenient location, quick commute accross SR 520 Toll bridge To U of W Medical Center.

The room was very clean and comfortable! Nice and quiet. Staff was welcoming and kind. Grab and go breakfast was great, breakfast sandwiches to warmup, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, bagels and breads.

Seemed falsely advertised. When I was looking for a room, it started saying that they had a room available for $64.00, and made a point to say “this is the full price you pay” with an arrow indicating the price. However….when I went to the next step, the price jumped from $64.00, to over a hundred. THEN….when I got to the property to check in, I was informed that they take a fifty dollar deposit fee on top of the price I was already quoted to begin with. On top of that, they also informed me that they charge for parking on their property, since we had 2 vehicles, the charge per vehicle would be $15.00, which they automatically paid out of the deposit in which I learned about when I arrived at the property to check in. Very misleading details on the charges listed online. Expecting someone to pay $15.00 for parking, is ridiculous. They did not even offer a pillow and blanket for my car. I’m not even sure how secure the parking lot is that they charge so much for guests to park.

totally dirty. Stayed for three nights. Couldn’t wait to leave! Disgusting.

The breakfast was limited. Nothing hot, our choices were yogurt, cereal, Cheerios, raisin bran, & 3 other kinds. 3 different bagels, english muffins & apple & orange juice & coffee with just half & half. We enjoyed it, but a waffle would have been good. It was disappointing to see that the hallway carpets looked like they hadn't been vacuumed in a very long time & most of the glass entry doors were filthy. Our room seemed ok clean, it is an older hotel. Would I stay there again, maybe if I was able to get it at a cheap rate again through Expedia

Great location you can use the train

If your are considering to travel to Seattle but don’t want to stay close to downtown Seattle because is expensive. This hotel is good idea and another plus is that in from the hotel there is a rail station and think is good idea to take for no drive to Downtown.

All was good.

Wonderful late night staff, very helpful and inviting.

Clean and quiet

Check-in staff was unfriendly; check-out guy was amazing and helpful. Room was clean —location to central Bellevue is incredibly convenient. There is also a train station across the street.

Ice machines did not work, TV did not work, and there was no breakfast available during their given breakfast hours.

Terrible

Amazing kind front desk staff, great cozy lobby with hot coco and coffee and good breakfast options. Very happy and will be back.

Front staff was friendly and very helpful

It was in a great area.

Very Pleasant 😊

Very good

Nice. Walkable to a variety of restaurants. Basic on the run breakfast. Clean and tidy.

Great location. Great value.

I am from polson, Montana, and only came to Seattle because my mom is in the hospital. the property wasn't able to work with me. Neither would hotels.com

Na

STAFF WAS GREAT

o

The breakfast is good.

The breakfast was a bit lackluster.

Staff was friendly. Room we stayed in was kind of dated, almost a retro feel, but it was spotless and well maintained and we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The breakfast offering of Jimmy Johns breakfast sandwich (one per guest) was a good idea, unfortunately the taste was unappealing. There were always other healthy options though.

- Rooms were clean and a good size. - Hallways are wide and spacious. - Good value for the location. - Pets can stay. Cons: - TV in the lobby was not working. - Body wash in the bathroom was empty - A light bulb in the bathroom not working. - The hallways and stairs need vacuuming - No elevators

Noisy AC. Not much as far as the breakfast. Good location. Quit clean.

Room wasn’t very clean

Breakfast was basic, no hot food other than wearing something in a microwave or using a toaster.

services not rendered, took my money.

Room was great I thinks the couch needs for cushion it looked like it had better days bed had bars that stuck way out and I would bang my legs shins on them I did it like 5 times ouch anyways great staff friendly and nice please put new comfy cushions on the couch please

Overall service was great

No bathroom water pressure..wallpaper coming off the walll

Staff was very courteous.Room is clean.They are also very nice about letting me get in it.A late checkout

There was an old chewed on apple core on the table in the entry. The desk chair was missing from the work table. The front desk was notified but said no-one was available to help with either problem. I had to borrow a chair from another guest. The coffee at breakfast was not hot. The breakfast was all prepackaged microwave food.

No room cleaning, had to request 4 times for more shampoo and body wash to be restocked and clean towels. Front desk said they “took note” but never filled after first request.

The staff makes Red lion stand apart from other value options in the area. It is a well-kept property with easy access to the freeway as well as downtown Bellevue. They have a good gym, great to go breakfast with 1-2 healthy options, swimming pool, and open courtyard area. Easy to take free shuttle into the city and walkable. The amenities are also decent with spacious rooms. Safe for solo female travelers and good value for business trips.

We travel with our dog so happy to stay at a pet friendly hotel. The grab and go breakfast is helpful

I don't feel safe here as a single woman. If it wasn't cold I'd sleep in my car. It is also VERY filty. I have pictures.

Room field neglecting

I didn't get the breakfast because I was 5 minutes late. The receptionist would even give me a bagel or yogurt because he said it was locked up. At least, he could have been a little amenable to his just making a little effort on Christmas.

okay. old school but cool

Great service!

Clean room n breakfast to go

great

Everything seems to be wrong with this one

I feel bad I didn’t grab his name but yes the front desk guy was AMAZING. Just over all kind and helpful and super witty. Good energy all around.

Should I go on? I will report to hotels.command request a refund It was the wirst hotel I have ever stayed in

Maybe update the picture to match what is actually offered?

This is our go to spot when staying in the area, great price and convenient location!

Every hallway I walked looked dirty like it hadn't been valcumed in forever. The red lions used to have exceptional quality rooms back in the day, and it just seems like the value of the property.And the upkeep has definitely gone down in quality.. sorry to see this.

It was an okay stay for one night. I didn’t appreciate that the parking is $15/night but the parking is not monitored. Glass beer bottles laying around, cars look abandoned and very noisy with people going in and out

This is an older hotel, but I have stayed their before the proce is right, and it was in a good location. It is showing its age, but the room was clean and the ice machine worked.

Clean and well-maintained for an older hotel.

I couldn’t remember the one Gentleman man but he is in his late 60. He was very kind and welcoming . Angie worked Sunday the 16th in the morning was superb. We noted mold on the muffin but she apologized and assured us that it must have been an oversight but she gave us asurrance which make us pleased to want to return back. Is a nice place to stay if those concerns are addressed. Thank you

Staff was outstanding. Great service

The room smelled weird, and the hotel refused to refund me the 2nd week I wasn't to stay because I returned to Canada because I was sick.

It’s a good hospitality and good service

comfortable bed

Pillowcase had blood on it from previous tennent. Bathroom had chips in paint around door. We were limited to one breakfast sandwich. Otherwise it was great. Loved the checkout at noon!!!

The staff was super helpful with getting my family situated our room and were very quick to respond when we had questions or concerns.

Everything was okay until the power went out multiply times during the night.

nice location

Very little interaction with staff. None of them spoke to us, even upon check-in very little was said. Easy to miss the turn as it's not marked well. Parking was up front and easy. We lost power due to a storm, but generators kicked on also immediately. Would stay here again.

Well, the extra 16.50 parking fee was not appreciated especially with the fact there was more than enough parking at least 100 or more spots to park. There were no modifications for chargers and most outlets were behind beds.

Staff was nice and pleasant rooms were clean and close to everything breakfast was ok could have had better choices

Close to I405. It is easily acceptable to the highway.

The room was very comfortable and in good shape. Staff was excellent. The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Property is starting to get worn down. Close to the hospital and easy to get around from here.

Room was quite clean but could use some upgrading. Pet-friendly

The room and property was very nice. The breakfast was an actual breakfast and not continental.

Great place.

And then we get charged for parking.

I enjoyed my stay at the red lion. The staff was really friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable while we complete was at the theater was a little too noisy in the room and the breakfast options could’ve been a little bit better.

We arrived at 3:30 and we needed a room on the ground floor because there is no elevator and we are 2 seniors who have a difficult time with carrying luggage up stairs. A room wasn’t clean so the front desk clerk attempted to contact housekeeping but couldn’t find them at first. Then when she did she asked that our room be a high priority. So the room was cleaned, but housekeeping didn’t inform the front desk until they were eventually contacted again and confirmed it was ready. So we waited over an hour for the room. The room was ok, but definitely dated as was the entire hotel.

For the price this is a great place to stay in Bellevue. Walked around after my stay, it’s a 20 minute walk to the Bellevue Square mall and a ton of restaurants

Worst hotel i ever stayed at in bellevue. They dont let you know about any addtional costs till you get their. So id recommend not to stay here especially because it smells like crap outside too. So on top of your room amount they charge up to $300

Staff seemed bothersome or annoyed at our existence. Has all the amenities just isn’t what the pictures or reviews stated. Wasn’t what we expected.

stain, slight peeled paint in bathroom, key cards and the locks on doors were delayed. Breakfast has basic food- but great for quick snack to-go. The staff is welcoming and nice. Gym is nice and clean. Pool was closed during my stay. I like the location if wanting to check out Bellevue or a short drive to downtown Seattle.

Great

Property is a little bit old

No hot water in the morning and would have any until after checkout. Only offered 15% discount

clean room

Lighting less than nice. Curtains had stains an holes. Curtains didn’t stay closed. Windows very noisy. Parking lighting sucked. For price barely any breakfast. Should’ve stayed somewhere else.

Great stay.

I have been coming to this hotel with my Japanese customer for stays in Bellevue over the last four years about every 6-8 weeks. My Japanese customers arrive in the morning after a 10 hour flight and most of the time have been able to check in early. This time the hotel charged us $75 to check in early. It seems a gouge if you have rooms ready, you are being charged $117 a night, then they charge you $75 for four hours. Plus taxes so $85+ to check in four hours early. I guess you get what you pay for, but this up charge on repeat customers was a bit much.

This hotel was very convenient and reasonably priced. The carpets could use a cleaning but the room itself was spotless.

Enjoyed the room and property, but the breakfast offerings left much to be desired.

Absolutely no flexibility by the front desk.

Staff was pretty dismissive with trying to accommodate early check in. The building and the rooms are in really rough shape. There was a smooshed French fry in the hallway carpet that wasn’t vacuumed the three days we were there. The back screen door wasn’t attached and the sliding door has seen better days. The best parts were the beds were comfortable and there were a lot of charging ports by the bed. I would look somewhere else when we come back.

For the price of the place I wouldn’t expect a giant spider to be walking across the room in the middle of the night. Took 15 min to exterminate the beast after he went under the bed. The carpets are pretty tore up and stained along with some stained bathroom mirrors. Had good water pressure and a mini fridge. WiFi was decent when it worked. But I feel this place needs some work especially with the prices they are charging.

Very pleasant

Spiders. Slow shower drain. No do not disturb. No phone. Housekeeping only in call.

Pool was closed :( shower not very good

Red lion used to be a pleasant hotel to stay, nowadays it’s not the same,, cheap breakfast for the amount I paid on top of that I had to paid extra to park my car there😡, I probably never stay in a red lion again.

The heater is broken. It needs a new filter. The room has a smell. Water is only hot. No cold water for the shower.

They had all the things the said they would. Breakfast is not my definition of breakfast but I did find things I could eat, and over all can’t complain. Good price and perfect location for my event!

Very friendly

They didn't have the room ready at the advertise. Check-in time. There is no body wash or bath soap

Nice staff, Room is good but not very nice, This is a outdoor Pool so the water is a little cold from the beginning but swimmable (i were there in the 1st week of Sept). Breakfast is perfect cold sandwich, bagel, bottle apple juice, orange juice, water (this is a on the go breakfast but way better than other 2 hotels i stayed after this one. Other 2 hotels in Vancouver, BC & Vancouver, WA called Buffet breakfast but not as good as this hotel). Will stay again.

It said on Expedia pool was open thru Sept. was not. Not very friendly or helpful. Treated you like they were being bothered. Early check in was 75 and the place was empty.

Heating wierd

Does not look like what the pictures

The room was clean and comfortable, although a little updating would be beneficial. The front desk staff unfortunately were not very welcoming, or helpful at check in. And when a problem came up with the charges, they were even less helpful. Thankfully Expedia was able to get the charges fixed. I was

Three couples were spread out a long ways from each other. We managed, but since you asked. Anyway, everything else, including front desk staff, was great!

I notified the staff on Tuesday night that there was no hot water and to check it before morning showers. I woke up to get ready for work Wednesday morning to freezing water. Nobody answered the phone so I had to go downstairs to ask about the water situation. I waited as long as I could but finally had to wash my long hair and shower in the cold water. When I asked if they’d worked on it over night I was told that the engineering team get off work at 8 and so they weren’t available. Clearly these people don’t care that there are public safety and health laws that require hot and cold water as well as Washington State hospitality regulations!

Ok

Good for the money in Downtown Bellevue. Clean, close to shopping and friendly staff. Oh! And good breakfast sandwiches!!

Nice staff

I liked the convenient location.

Noisy HVAC fan, otherwise worked well.

Every thing is good

Great

Great location close to Seahawks

The room was very spacious and nice for the price

This is an old building, but the rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious. You get a lot for the price.

Staff was exceptionally helpful but it is an aged property and although rooms were clean, it clearly needed some upgrades. There are no handicap accessible rooms.

Very quaint, cute environment. All staff very professional and friendly. Very close to downtown and Seattle. Would definitely stay here again! Thank u for allowing us to have a memorable trip.!!

Cute! Nice pool,

Hall Way 1st and 2nd floor dirty. Outside the hotel trash every where. Afternoon staff not friendly at all.

We stayed for three nights. The alarm to the pool kept going off. One evening it happened twice. There weren't enough pillows or towels in our room for even 4 people. When we asked for more they said they didn't have any extras but they were able to bring us some the next morning. We asked for room service and they said we had to request that the night before but they did replace our towels and gave us a garbage bag so we could take out our own trash. The carpet in the hallway was so nasty dirty. And there is no laundry facility. The stay wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. We will stay somewhere else next time.

Charging is $75 to check in early for a room that was ready and sitting there empty is ridiculous!!! Then the room was just ok. It took FOREVER to get the room to cool down with the AC on. Just an ok experience that won’t have me looking to return.

Tried to check in 2 hours early after a 6 hour drive. They said check in was at 4 not 2 in an arrogant manner. That would be ok but then they said it would cost an extra 75 dollars for 2 hours. Then they charged 16.50 for parking in a non secured lot. Signs posted not responsible for vehicle. In the meantime they were using half the parking lot for another hotels overflow. Never again

Met expectations. Breakfast was underwhelming.

Nice

While the location was pretty quaint and quiet along with my assigned guest room, it’s the front desk that may need better attitude adjustment. Two of the female employees working the front desk lobby sounded indifferent and annoyed by simple questions that I was asking.

The property was older and needs a little renovation. They were constantly running out of breakfast items. But overall, I did enjoy my stay. It was very close to the train station and public transportation was fairly easy to get around Seattle

Good place to stay

Paint peeling in bathroom shower. Tiles coming loose in shower. Carpet in hallway had odor. AC heating unit was hard to operate via thermostat.

There’s no elevator for this property & they don’t vacuum their stairs or hallways leading to guest rooms.

Ants in the room. Cement atound pool is breaking up. Holes in ceiling in the tooms and hallway. Door entry into room looked liked it has been kick in numerois times.

The gentleman who checked us out was very courteous, helpful, and polite. He is a credit to Red Lion. The hotel itself is old and could do with a massive remodel and renewal. The corridor outside our room had a ceiling leak which a trash bin was being used to collect any possible rain. Easy connection to the Link Light Rail 2 line but no use for going to Seattle until they finally get the line working across the floating bridge.

The hotel was generally ok, but I flushed the toilet and it kept running so I pulled the back off to see what the issue was and there was a syringe in the toilet. Then I got up the next morning to a homeless person taking a bath in the pool.

Wish there was more food options walking distance ! But it was amazing and staff was great very accommodating

This looked like more of a motel than a hotel.

The bed was comfortable. The furniture is dated. No close by food options.

Among the many things that contributed to the decision of never staying there again here are a couple: The first thing that must be mentioned is the toilet. It was brutal. I’m a fairly tall person and the toilet was made for a child, I’ll leave that to your imagination. And most importantly it wouldn’t flush. You’d have to hold the flusher handle for the whole time to empty the reservoir and it still wouldn’t clear the bowl. It was too frustrating. Lots more to say, but maybe just one more point for now; At the checkin point I was hit with a parking fee. I think it was 16.50/night. The place was low end hotel with more than ample available parking. I was a bit surprised to say the least. It felt like a resort fee kinda thing. I was not aware prior that I was going to be paying for parking. One more item for this short list, the hallways were atrocious. Multiple bags of garbage being left outside room doors. There’s more …

The stay was good it was the extra cost to park and no breakfast but a box of cereal and a banana,I’ve stayed here many times and always had a breakfast buffet or and option at another hotel paid for by the hotel,the cost is to high for the hole experience to stay there anymore

I stayed five days here. The bed was comfortable. However, there was mold growing in the bathrooms and the wall paper was peeling. Outlets for charging were hard to find. I moved my bed searching for a place to plug in my laptop and the wall outlet was charred, like a small fire occurred there. The only place to plug in was the desk area and that had a series of extension cords that also plugged in the refrigerator. Breakfast was a joke. Options were bread and more bread the first two days of my stay. As it got closer to the weekend frozen breakfast sandwiches became available and fresh fruit. I ended up purchasing breakfast items at the store, an extra expense I hadn’t planned on because of their advertising. Large dogs barking apparently is a thing when sports fans come to town and leave animals alone in the rooms. Overall, not the experience I’m used two. I would recommend paying the extra money and go to a place that will actually have some pride in their service and not cut corners. I couldn’t believe the electrical situation. It was sketchy.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was a wonderful perk, and the pool was fun! The hotel is a bit on the older side, so there were a few things noted (like dirty, sticky carpet and a busted headboard that slammed into the wall with every slight movement in the bed). However, overall it was a nice stay. Convenient location, walkable neighborhood. Would stay again!

Staff was friendly but the air conditioner didn’t work properly and couldn’t get any assistance to fix it. We were told no rooms available to move so made the best of it

Great location to get on the highway, but that also means it can get a bit loud. The downtown area where the mall and park are is a walkable distance from the hotel. The shower was a little slow in draining, but not horrible. Breakfast was just bagels, fruit, yogurt and a few other options, but just very basic stuff. Hotel is a little old, but clean and well-kept. I would stay here again.

Good stay.

Front desk staff is rude. Not happy or accomodating guest. Property needs total upgrade. Carpet have not been cleaned/vacuumed for a long time. Need to wipe tables as it is dusty. TV is old, no youtube which makes my kids so frustrated. Pool is way too dirty.

The Stay was fine beds were comfy pillows not so much. The room felt cheap and our bathroom door sounded like it was breaking every time I shut it. Could hear other rooms doors slamming constantly. overall it was a well run not so great hotel.

Great place if you want to be very central. Easy to get to downtown Bellevue and surrounding areas. Very comfortable bed. Pretty clean. Breakfast was ok. Pool is not heated.

Bathtub had dirty lines in it. Wallpaper was falling off. Window curtains were dirty/stained. Shower curtain was stained. Remote control had some dingy gross build up. Not worth the price paid

Good value for the money and clean, great staff.

I wish they could offer a decent breakfast to their guests and they should also hire a friendly, welcoming staff in the reception.

Excellent staff, very friendly, very helpful. The breakfast is mediocre. No eggs or sausage or anything. Just bagels, cereal, apples, bananas, and jimmy deans frozen breakfast sandwiches. Besides the mediocre breakfast, the rooms are quiet, clean, and like I said the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Super safe area and close to downtown Bellevue. Maybe 20 minute drive to Seattle downtown with no traffic.

It is obvious that the owners of this hotel are interested in bleeding every penny they can out of the place while putting nary a nickel into it. This hotel is not at all inexpensive. It’s just so run down for the money. In our room (140) alone, the sad, old hair dryer doesn’t work, the old A/C unit rattles, the bathroom exhaust fan is dead, there’s no soap in the shower, they didn’t have housekeeping make up our room between the days of our stay, no fresh towels were available, the old blinds leaked light like a sieve, and the shower drain was clogged. Need I go on? The place is just old, worn, and tired. At $50 per night this hotel would be fine. For what they charge it’s a ripoff.

Did not like paying to park my car in the Hotel parking lot.

They charge you for parking each night and charge you taxes to stay here it is not included?

Convenient and efficient

The pool was pretty but freezing cold

the complimentary breakfast is really bad. What the hotel provide include snack bar, one frozen sandwich ( each customer is limited to one and you need to use microwave to defroze/heat it up) +yogurt + banana/apple. Nothing is freshly cooked.

I was not happy that I could not check in earlier and I also did not like getting charged for parking when they have a huge parking lot for a lot of parking. I will not recommend staying here to anyone and I will not stay here again myself

Pool area is so nice and the front desk staff were soo friendly!

The only reason I stayed the rest of Remaining reservation is because it’s close to my daughter place

Hotel was way older than I anticipated, bathroom felt a little sketchy like I should keep sandals on. There wasn’t a breakfast but a “grab and go”microwavable breakfast sandwich or fruit option. It did the job, but it wasn’t a meal for a family on the road. The pool was fun for the kids, right by our room so that was nice!

The parking fee surprised us a bit, but everything else was great. The grab and go breakfast was surprisingly good, too.

There was an ant problem in the room I stayed.

July 2025. Wifi was good, cleanliness of room was good, shower water pressure was great, water was hot. A/C took forever to cool down the room (like one degree an hour, no joke) (I was in room 219). I put on the do-not-disturb doorknob tag for the first two days, then left it off for the third, then came back the third night and saw room service hadn't stopped by. So I called them and requested room service for the fourth day, and the front desk said requests are for the following day (meaning they'd stop by day 5). They asked if I wanted "Linens changed or a light refresh" and I said "a light refresh" (because our bed sheets were still good and instead I was concerned about the trash and lack of coffee). So I get back to the room the night of day 5 and literally all that was done was they walked in and left some more bath towels. No re-ups on coffee or hand soap bars or cups or anything like that. No trash taken out. Old towels were not taken away. It was baffling that that's what they would consider a "light refresh room service". There is on-the-go breakfast but we opted for the "20% off" dine-at-the-hilton tickets, which was walkable. Beds were very comfortable. Great price for what you get (minus room service), but maybe bring earplugs, because you never know who else will be staying here, and I'm not sure if it's thin walls or floors or windows, but some guests were very noisy during the night.

The 4pm check in with no option for early check in was a pain as had a concert to be at for 5:30pm. People were getting ready in the lobby washrooms.

Enjoyed our stay, only problem was the room was outdated. There were no outlets so I was not able to plug in my cpap machine for my sleep apnea. The pool was the only highlight

Room was great, area was convenient for our trips purpose. The check is different I booked almost 6 months in advance and requested early check in when I reserved. We arrived an hour before check in, and asked for our room, the front desk employee had an attitude and just seemed mostly annoyed she told us we would have to wait til 4 no big deal, but attitude was also not necessary. My foot is broken and I was using a knee scooter. When we finally were able to check she sent us to a room at the back of the hotel, which is fine, but when I asked the easiest way to get there she directed me on a path which required stairs. Slightly frustrating check in experience. Other than that the room was great, beds were comfy.

Books two queen beds. Refused to give me the two beds I booked.

The pool was good

Very noisy after 10 pm quiet hours, both on the grounds outside and neighboring rooms. Asked for housekeeping to clean our room and they never came.

Good for yhe age of property. Toliet height makes it hard on the knees for older guest. Recommend updating height. And the breakfast bar should have more options. Variety of food..

Needs update, old & shower tub was cracked. Free Breakfast was decent, good location. Parking is not free.

Overall, the stay was alright. Not the cleanest rooms by any means but nothing too concerning. However, our door did randomly stop locking in the middle of our stay. The staff was really responsive and fixed the issue within the hour after we noticed, it was just off putting not knowing how long the door was unlocked, and anyone could have walked into our room, especially being 2 young women.

Not great. Small rooms, more like a motel. Service is also poor.

This hotel was filthy and the staff was rude and uncommon

The carpets in the halls were extremely dirty, there was trash piled up and an old wood crate around the door when I first walked in, made it feel extra dirty. The room itself was clean, bed was very comfortable, the shower was nice, as long as I was in the room it was fine. Also I got in early and tried to check in at 3:00, staff was not willing to help at all even kind of laughed at me. Rude

Very dirty carpet in stairwells Inadequate seating for breakfast. Dirty tables at breakfast. No napkins at breakfast. Good coffee.
