Hotel Reviews Hyatt Bellevue
September 3, 2011
The Hyatt was decent. We had our hopes way up after reading all the reviews, and
we ended up having somewhat of a let down once we checked-in. The views are
great, but the rooms are small and nothing special. One thing we were very
surprised by is the staff was not as friendly and inviting as all these reviews
made it out to be. We must have come on an off night. Even the concierge was
very stand offish! Our next night we talked to a young man at the counter who
was very friendly and gave us a great dinner recommendation.
so all in all it was a decent stay. We were already talking about the other
hotels we saw and wanted to try out next time--so the Hyatt didn't make us fall
in love. We may stay here again in the future, but only after trying out other
hotels in the area. You won't have a bad experience and I am sure you will enjoy
your stay. Just don't let the reviews get your hopes WAY up like it did ours.

This hotel is one block from Bellevue Square and lots of restaurants. It's got a
couple of nice restaurants on location , along with a Tully's coffee shop. There
are three Starbucks within a few blocks. The rooms are very nice and the hotel
staff were helpful.

This was my husband and my second time to stay here. We very much enjoyed the
lovely room. Got breakfast to our room and it was surprisingly very good.

I stayed at the Hyatt for a week-long business trip that involved at least 12
hours sat in the office each day, which meant there were not many opportunities
to avail myself of the amenities on offer at the hotel. Thus this only provides
a glimpse of some parts of the hotel.
Staff were impeccably mannered and efficient, although at peak
check-in/check-out times the desk suffered a bit from the volumes of people
trying to get booked in. The Twisted Cork restaurant serves a good breakfast -
lots of different options, including buffet, full American breakfast and some
interesting alternatives (who would have thought of pancakes with pistachio for
breakfast) and a major plus of the hotel for me was the 24 hour fitness centre.
I didn't previously think there was much utility to being able to work out at
3am, but it turns out that's a good antidote to a combination of jet-lag and
working in the office until stupid o'clock.
The room itself had that impersonal quality that you find in lots of high-end
chain hotels - slightly gloomy brown carpet, very large bed with more pillows
than one person could ever need, and a bathroom that while large, lacked a few
things - no extractor fan, so the mirror stayed foggy after I'd showered, and
the shaving mirror was on a little stand rather than on an actuated arm, which
made it more difficult to depilate my face accurately.
But these feel like fairly minor quibbles. It might be a bit soulless, but on a
business trip it's standardized utilitarianism that you actually want, rather
than something that's too in-your-face character. Everything worked, there was
nothing aggravating during my stay, it just didn't have major pizazz going for
it. So it's very good for what it is, but perhaps a little soulless if you
weren't here on business.
