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.

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.

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.

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.
