My family flew up for business as well as pleasure -- we have friends in the area so when my husband was asked to come on business our two kids and I joined him. I asked to use the restroom before we checked in and the young man told me they were for guests only! I told him we were thinking of staying there and he came back with the statement that it was 149 plus tax -- as if that was out of my price range. I asked to see a room, having read some of the reviews, and he responded that he couldn't leave the desk, and that "the rooms are great, trust me we are a business hotel," in a very snotty tone of voice. I left with a full bladder and let my husband deal with the jerk (he was cordial to him so I'm guessing they don't get many families here). The room was adequate but for the noisy air conditioner and stuffiness, and all the other staff were quite friendly but the way I was treated like a vagrant really left a bad taste in my mouth.

My granddaughter and I spent the long weekend here. I asked for a quiet room on the top floor and that is what I got for the most part. The only noise came from the neighbour having a shower which was surprisingly loud. I appreciated the weekend price. When I tried to come down a day earlier, the price would have jumped by $60 because, I was told, the computer was not set up for the weekend price even though it was a Rememberance or Veteren's Day the next day. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. I liked the location as it had lots of services nearby and the 520 freeway, yet it was set back from the hustle and bustle.

I stayed 2 nights here with my mom and brother over the weekend. It was pretty decent, I don't have too many complaints. The location was good. It's only a couple minutes drive to Bellevue Square, and there are quite a number of food/grocery options nearby. It's also worth noting the fact that this hotel isn't located immediately next to the highway, so highway noise is something you won't experience here. The first thing we noticed inside the hotel was that the rooms were spotless. It was quite evident that the property is well taken care of. The beds were nice and comfortable, and had lots of pillows which I like. There was a nice big LCD TV in our room, which was a nice touch and it did an excellent job keeping us entertained on a lazy night. I also loved the fact there was a double sink so it really sped things up in the morning, this is a feat that very few hotels have. Breakfast buffet is served here. There was a good selection: scrambled eggs, sausages, waffle-machines, toast, danish sweets, cereal etc.. Quality of the hot food wasn't the best, but hey when it's free I can't really complain. =] Complementary wireless internet was also really nice to have. (You would be surprised how many hotels don't seem to get it right because they are cheap and don't set up enough wireless repeaters across the building to make sure all rooms get a good signal. But this hotel is definitely not one of those as far as I could tell.) We didn't get a chance to sample the pool and jacuzzi so no comment.

It wasn't all perfect, as there were a few tiny things that bugged me. The first one that I noticed immediately pulling up to the hotel was the size of the parking spaces in the lot! Almost all of them looked like they were meant for compact cars. In fact, I drive a VW Golf and thought they were a bit tight, I'd imagine trying to park one of those bigger SUVs here would not be a simple task. The second thing that kind of bugged me was the shower head. Even though we had water gushing out really fast out of the faucet, the shower head in my room felt extremely slow.. it looked like it was adjustable but spinning the tab on the shower head didn't seem to have any effect, so it took a little longer to shower. Thirdly, I found the toilet in my room seemed very small as well. It might have been just some rooms because my friend stayed on a different floor and said his was fine.

But other than these minor complaints, I think the quality of Silver Cloud Inn Redmond is quite good overall. Price was also one of the reasons I chose to stay here. I wouldn't mind staying here again the next time I visit Seattle.

Took a quick trip to Seattle but didn't want to pay downtown Seattle prices, so based ourselves in Redmond. The Silver Cloud Inn was ideal for our purposes, with easy access to Seattle and surrounds.

The room was comfortable, with opening windows and central air system as well. Good, comfortable bed. Room and bathroom very clean, great Aveda toiletries in the bathroom. The bathroom arrangement comprised a small room with toilet and bath/shower, with basin outside in room. Plenty of free parking, free wifi too which worked fine. We didn't have the breakfast. Plenty of dining options nearby.
