Coast Bellevue Hotel, Bellevue

Hotel was billed as updated and modern. The lobby was modern and chic, but maybe they're working their way up to the rooms (??) Mine was on the level of a slightly improved highway motel. Hair dryer didn't work, and bathroom light/fan automatically turned on and off all night long. (Was told they didn't have an electrician on staff till morning, with only the advice to close the bathroom door.) Workout room is minimal at best, and the pool was drained during my stay. Would not recommend to anyone.

We stayed in July 2009, five of us in one nice sized room. The staff was always friendly, helping with directions. When we requested extra towels, they were delivered to the room within 10 minutes every time. The room was clean. The free breakfast was really good with muffins, bagels, donuts, cereal, milk, juice, coffee, apples, bananas. For the price, a great deal.

This hotel is recently remodeled with very up-to-date artwork and furnishings. It looks like a hotel you would see in NYC but without the price. The bed we stayed in was very luxurious and the most comfortable hotel bed that I have ever slept in. The front desk staff was very accommodating and even upgraded us to a superior room at check-in. We must have been lucky or something. The room itself was extremely clean and everything worked great. They even had Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea in our room. The restaurant and lounge had really good food and even a happy hour with half-priced appetizers. All in all, this was one of the best stays we've had in the Seattle area and can't wait to be back! Thanks again.

When we got into the hotel room, it smelled awful like a smoking room. I looked around and found ash trays, then called the front desk to see if they mistakenly assign the room to us. (We're non-smokers.) Sure enought, the room is a smoking room. They said it was the only room available for the evening. We were not informed of this at all when we initially checked in. I booked the room through a travel website, and it was non-refundable. I had no choice but staying in the room. Since we needed to leave at 6am the next day, we asked the front desk to arrange a town car to pick us up at 5:45 the next morning, and we were told that the town car is always on time and usually 5 minutes early. The next morning, we went down to the lobby at 5:45am. No car was there. We waited a few minutes; nothing came. We asked the front desk to call the town car service. She sounded like we were bothering her and told us not to worry, the car will come. Another five minutes went by, the car did not come. She finally agreed to call the town car company. It turned out there had been a miscommunication -- they ordred the car for 5:45 PM, instead of AM. She apologized and ordered a taxi for us instead. Overall, I did not like my stay at all. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

Seriously... we stayed here and yes... it was clean...but the walls are paper thin and we could hear every conversation going on in the main room. The bed was way way soft, which is okay...but if you are going to a hotel to relax and to get away, don't go here. The neighbor's alarm and cell phone kept waking us up all morning! Oh and what they say about there not being a person to greet you at the front desk is true, we waited for I would say 10 minutes talking loudly so the person in the next room (whom we could hear) could tell that there was someone at the desk. Not a good experience, never coming back as long as I can help it! So not worth the deal we got on Priceline.

We live near the Coast Bellevue and recently had an extended wind-related power outage. This hotel couldn't have been better. First, they had heat. They didn't raise prices like several Bellevue hotels did. AND they agreed to allow our dog, a small non-shedding terrier, because of the extreme conditions and local problems. They were kind, courteous, tremendously stressed because of numbers trying to get rooms (they were booked quickly). All in all, I'll be writing the hotel company to give them my feedback. I'd go back in a minute. Practically, we had a room with 2 double beds (shared with teen and dog); coffeemaker with great coffee; small fridge. It was the closest room to the freeway and still completely quiet. Fantastic to get this kind of service from a small inexpensive hotel.

Hotels and motels in this area are so overpriced; the coast was the most reasonably priced. Pluses: convenient location, room good size, room very clean. Minuses: didn't get ordered breakfast 1 or 2 days; common areas smell really weird (others have said like cigarette smoke, but it smelled more like chemicals to me).

Location was great.The smoke smell in the halls was overwelming! We also found several bugs in the room (silver, flat bugs that jump like fleas} These bugs were jumping on the sheets and pillow cases of one of the beds. I was too beat to call the front dest, I just slept in my clothes. A month later, after returning to town, we contacted this hotel to resolve this issue, but the hotel was unwilling to resolve this issue. We have contacted the hotel and asked what they were willing to do? The hotel said "nothing" We have had previous problem with this hotel chain in the United States

This hotel is convenient when heading to the convention center in Bellevue. However, for some reason the entire hotel really smells badly of cigarette smoke. This luckily doesn't make its way into the room, but as soon as you step out into the hall, there it is. Hi-speed internet is free which is great. Newspaper arrives early at your door. Staff is pleasant. Last note is that we've always had major problems getting cabs/limos from this hotel. The last 4 times they have consistently shown up 30-40 minutes late ...
