The Residence Inn in Bellevue is always my favourite place to stay when in the Seattle area. The staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are well appointed and very clean, and the location is great. As other reviewers have mentioned, the rooms at the front face the interstate and there is some "white noise" from the traffic, but not enough to be a bother. If you have the option, request a room at the back with the "nature preserve view". It's really just a marshy waterfowl sanctuary, but definitely quieter on the back side than the front. This hotel is always our first choice when visiting Bellevue or Seattle.

I went down to Seattle for a long business trip and was booked at the Residence Inn Bellevue/Downtown, the Hotel looks small and not very appealing from the outside (after being used to all the possible luxury chains) but when I walked in, I was greeting by a very friendly reception and when I went to my room, the room was great very nicely designed and very comfortable it would be an ideal description of what a Hotel Room should be like. The staff at the hotel were very polite and accommodating, the best part I really enjoyed were the pickup & drops down to Bellevue square.
The Hotel does not have a fully functioning restaurant but the location is so perfect just a short 5 min drive from all shopping malls and restaurant strips make it a perfect location for any kind of traveler.
If you are on business or travelling with family, this hotel will not disappoint you.

I travel with my handicapped partner and our caregiver. This hotel had probably the best set-up for us that we've ever experienced. All three of us stayed in an accessible "studio" suite, and everything was great: plenty of space for wheelchair maneuverability, roll-in shower and roll-under sink, an accessible table, plus an overall nicely laid-out and furnished room. Our only complaint is that the bed is kind of high---hard to lift an non-mobile person into. Very nice lobby and spacious breakfast area (free!). The staff was exceptionally nice, and housekeeping service was thorough. Easy parking and our fee was waived---how nice is that?!

Stayed here on business for a weekend in a two bedroom suite - it was very modern, clean and comfortable! Both nights we ended up ordering salads and pizza from Padrino's to be delivered and it was delicious. The complimentary breakfast is wonderful. This is an exemplary Residence Inn.
