13 reviews for Hilton Bellevue
The design of this hotel with the glass and steel lattice structure looks like the HIlton in Woford near Boston, MA. Besides that dated look, the rest of the hotel looks like it has been updated recently. The rooms are pretty standard and at least the one on the executive floor had flat screen TVs.
For Executive Members they have breakfast on the floor's main area and they actually give you a coupon for select appetizers at the hotel's bar after 6pm until closing. The hotel bar is nicely stocked and the bar staff was really helpful and attentive.
This hotel definitely caters to the local tech businesses nearby during the week and have lower rates on the weekend do to lack of business.
This place gets 4 stars due to the price I paid for it. We landed three nights under $250 which was a great deal. Over $100 a night and the place gets into question but the Bellevue area really lacks some nice hotels.
Our room was clean and spacious as it had been years before. When you stay on the back row of rooms you overlook the 405 highway but they installed two screen doors and have thick windows so the highway/construction won't bother you.
The store downstairs sucks and is overpriced but I always winding up needing stuff from there. They keep random hours and most of the time are out to lunch, painting their nails or any excuse not to be on location.
The bar is a great spot with a good draft beer selection. They had a seasonal pour of Sam Adams Summer Ale which was fantastic. My favorite part of this hotel is the large heated pool. I know your in the gloomiest/worst place ever but don't forget your swimming attire. They have a nice clean pool/hot tub with a large 8 foot deep end. You don't see that anymore.
The front desk/room service people are always nice and their is plenty of parking out front even when the hotel is crowded. If your going to be in the area pick this place over the Sheraton any day.
When I pulled up to the hotel, I got the impression that this was probably a pretty nice Hilton about 20 years ago. The outside today suffered from over-full garbage cans and lots of trash in the parking lot, so as I was walking in, I thought "oh-oh" this place is gonna need work.
(UPDATE) The second day I was here which was a week day was a totally different story. Hotel was nicely cleaned up and looked GREAT. Maintenance people were working out front, etc. So either Hilton Management reads Yelp, or I was judging this place too harshly for a weekend day. I bumped score up to four star. It really is a nice place.
I was pleasantly surprised by the inside which was very very nice, and well maintained. The rooms were good, the staff friendly, and everything pretty cool here. I am a bit nit-picky when it comes to hotel rooms, so the room was actually four stars, but the outside made me give the overall experience a three until I reconsidered.
If you are coming to Bellevue and like your Hhonors points, this is an ok stay!
On first night tub did not drain properly, but a brief note to the front desk the next morning and they fixed it and even left me a message to confirm. I am very pleased.
I got a good deal at this place because of another site. I got a great room with 2 queen beds. It was a large room. Enough room to walk around and lounge on a chair and do some work at a desk.
I loved the room, and the hotel lobby was great. The bar was my favorite destination. I liked the fact that the hotel staff is great. The location was perfect. It's only a couple of blocks from the Bellevue Transit Station, so you can take the bus into Seattle. It's about a 25 min ride. The hotel also has courtesy shuttles from downtown Bellevue to the hotel.

Stayed here for a week while in Kirkland on business. The hotel is pretty no frills but the beds are comfy and it was relatively close to my work location.
The staff was nice, efficient and I had no problems when dealing with them.
The restaurant was just ok if not a little overpriced (but what hotel restaurant isnt?) and the food was a notch above good but nothing more than that.
I would stay here again solely because this is on my companies approved list, but if I were traveling personally I would probably look for something in a little more picturesque locale.
I was here on a conference at the hotel and also stayed at the hotel. The place was very nice and inexpensive, I got the conference rate.
It's my first time in the Seattle/Bellevue area and the hotel was not hard to find, it was conveniently located next to the freeway and downtown Bellevue. Plenty of parking on the upper and lower level, I'm not sure if they offer valet, coming from Los Angeles I'm used to valet.
As you walk in, the place has an ambience of a 5 star hotel, with friendly staff, clean area and a huge atrium (See the picture I posted). It also helped that the weather was sunny when I arrived and made everything glow and everyone seems upbeat.
The room that I got was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. As I mentioned earlier, the staff was very helpful with all my request and kept my room good as new every day that I stayed there, I stayed there for five days.
Overall, I would definitely stay at the hotel if I'm here for business and pleasure and the hotel is not far from Seattle. A good place to stay for family too if you have kids.

I have stayed here a few times for work, it's a nice hotel. When you walk into the lobby, it features a large glass slopping roof . The rooms are very clean and well kept and the bed are pretty comfy. Although you when you first enter the lobby, you are on the third floor so it's a little confusing getting around at first.
The pool and garden area is pretty nice, except for the noise of traffic in the back. The fitness center has the basics, but the equipment are not very sophisticated, bike, treadmill, elliptical machine, and some free weights (just dumb bells). Enough equipment for a cardio workout, and that's were it stops. A couple of plasma, fresh towels, water cooler, and apples and oranges for afterward.
Overall it's a nice place and since I only paid $75/night thru priceline, it was really worth the money.

I was invited to interview with Microsoft (they called me out of the blue)and they set me up here at the Hilton in Bellevue. Honestly, very nice rooms (reminiscent of the Hyatt) and the staff was impeccable. Extremely accommodating, and obvious that they were aware of my visit. everything was taken care of, and everyone knew why i was there. Feather beds, big rooms, all have a balcony, and a nice restaurant and fwiw good bar and tenders.

A monolithic haven for smarmy salesmen looking to ply you with their 3 hour elevator pitch complete with pictures of their young brood (Tiffany, age 3 and Tom Jr, 8 months), followed by a very painful, scotch-laden attempt to get you to sleep with them. If you are a woman, do not go to happy hour. You can be a one-eyed snaggletooth with the clap (like me. what? nooo.) and you will still get hit on.
All of that aside...
I also have a room at the Westin but, thanks to 100 MPH winds that have knocked out power to around 1M people in the Seattle area, the hotel has gone dark with no ETA for restoration. I called up the Hilton (the Hyatt was also dark) at 8AM and I was able to get a cheap room with early check-in so I could shower and get online ASAP.
For what it is, I'm moderately impressed with the place. The executive rooms on the top 2 floors are nice-ish and only run about $130. The room is large enough to make the furniture look sparse and the bed is amazingly comfy. The bathroom is average size with above average toiletries. I love Q-tips. That's really all I need from a hotel. Q-tips. Valet. Hairdryer. Iron. Room Service. Minibar. Wifi. The Hilton is missing the minibar and the room service (thanks to the storm - usually has it). The lobby has 4 ridiculously slow Charlie and The Chocolate Factory glass elevators. The $8 bottle of Evian at the Westin is only $4 here. I have a lovely view of the freeway. Free continental breakfast available on the lobby of your floor. All in all, not half bad.

The Hilton in Bellevue is nice and clean, but not the nicest hotel in town.
It offers all you would expect from a hotel, that and nothing more. It is basic, the beds are comfy, the bathrooms are nice and stocked.
If you want just a place to sleep this maybe the hotel for you, if you are looking for something a little bit for upscale I recommend looking at a different hotel in Bellevue.
I'll admit it ... I'm a sucker for HiltonHHonors Points & Miles, ever since I lived in the UK and traveled over the EU I couldn't get enough. The free upgrades are worth their weight in gold and when you just have to travel on the company dime the Hilton chain isn't too bad. Sure the US versions pale in comparison to their EU counterparts, but they're not half bad. I guess if you have to travel, and your company pays for it, the Hilton Bellevue isn't too bad.

Uninspiring fugly 70s architecture (what's up with that bronzey slide thingee over the front entrance half of the building?), but all in all, not a bad hotel, although can someone tell me - is this double tree? or hilton? or both? why was it listed as both? Confusing, but that might have been WSBA's fault. Bed was comfortable, balcony was a nice touch. I stayed here 3 nights for the bar exam, and it was actually a relaxing stay. I wouldn't waste your money eating at the restaurant (expensive, and food was only so so, service was on the slower side), although their breakfast was alright.

I haven't stayed at the Hilton, but I recently went to a Chamber of Commerce after hours event there and the catering and hotel staff was awesome. They are preparing to open a new convention area of the hotel with a new ballroom, and the new cooking staff did a full-blown buffet of some of the best food I've ever seen at a hotel (and mind you, I have lived in a jet/hotel, done the convention circuit, and zipped to all fifty states)
I was very impressed by the price and service they offered. Everyone I spoke to was friendly, dealt with some unusual occurences in a very well-mannered way, and really went the extra mile to make the event a good one. If the catering and service crew is an example of the general hotel staff, I'd recommend staying there to anyone.
