Review Westin
Hotel Bellevue
30 December 2011
Stayed at Westin Bellevue for one night on Dec 27th, 2011. Location is great at
Westin Bellevue, you're looking at walking distance to major department stores
like Nordstrom and great restaurants such as Ruth Chris and Cheesecake Factory.
I paid around ~$200USD for a two double bed room. Room was clean, however the 10
mins into the room the toilets were plugged (most likely caused by the previous
customer). A call to customer service quickly resolved the issue.
Beds were okay, I can't comment on the quality because I've had insomnia the
night before.
I'm giving this 4 stars because of their internet access, I find it ridiculous
that they charge nearly $15 USD (around that) for 24 hours of internet access
from the LOBBY. Their website claims that "Wired & Wireless High Speed Internet
Access In Public Spaces" are complimentary. Please be aware that they are NOT.

I do not understand why they could not provide free wifi access across the
hotel. (You do not get Wifi in your hotel room, only LAN which you have to pay).
I realize that since the proximity of nearby stores like Starbucks and Bellevue
Square provide adequate internet access for travellers like us, but that does
not give Westin an excuse to charge internet. Who would want to head down to
Starbucks for internet if they needed to check an email late at night?!
I would recommend this if you're going for a shopping run down at Bellevue
Square, it's really a great mall. However if you're here because of business, I
do not advise you to stay here.

What a beautiful hotel. Great rooms. I was luckily upgraded to a better room
which had a rainfall shower. The gym is really good too. Don't forget to have
breakfast at the amazing buffet.

We stayed here 2 nights while visiting Seattle. We were travelling with 2 young
children (1.5 and 5 yrs) and 2 other families. The hotel is your typical nice
city Westin. Nothing spectacular but everything nice. While not set up to be
super family frienly, the hotel staff were very accommodating.
Rooms: Clean, stylish with great heavenly beds, big windows and temp control
that worked well. They only had 1 King rooms available so we requested a cot
which they had set up in the room for us - for a cot, it was pretty comfortable.
We also asked for a mini-fridge and a microwave oven which was also set up.
Common areas: Clean all around. Underground parking was convenient (but
expensive). Pool area was great - large lap pool but still shallow enough for
the kids.
Location: Perfect location for Bellevue - across the street from the mall, lots
of restaurants within walking distance. Neighborhood has a very new (but
somewhat unorganic) feel with all the upscale chains. Easy 15 minute drive to
Seattle - traffic was never too bad.
Would definitely recommend - especially if you can get a good rate.
At the time we stayed, there was a great deal where the hotel offered a $100
gift certificate good at neighboring shops and restaurants and free parking. I
understand this deal is available on and off frequently so check when you book!! |
