I wasn't aware of the deposit hold on my card even though I already paid for the room, nor was I aware of the additional parking fee. Disclosure would have been appreciated.
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.

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.

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.

Room was ok, there was an off and on loud hum that woke us up from time to time.. we realized in the morning that it was the fridge. Breakfast sandwich was limited to one per person(which no one in my party got to try) also breakfast pictured on Expedia is no where near what it was... Small spread of cereal, milk, 2 different bagels to heat up, and orange juice.
Maybe update the picture to match what is actually offered?

Customer service was great with couples of people.Rooms were very clean and well maintained but the hallways was not well vacuum and deodorized
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.

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.

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.

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.

In the words of Taylor Swift…never ever ever…

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!
