Courtyard Seattle BellevueRedmond, Bellevue

The value of this hotel is phenomenal!! We stayed two nights and absolutely loved it. It is set in a rather out-of-the-way area, but only ten minutes or so from the Redmond town center. We loved that it's in a residential sort of area, though... very relaxing, and good to not be right next to the freeway. Absolutely no road noise! Aaahhh. Still quite close to an exit, so convenient for traveling to Bellevue, Redmond, Seattle, and Bothell (we did all of these during our stay). We found a deal through the Marriott site that gave us a room for $109, plus a $20 gas gift card for each night. I recommend that one! The deal we found also included free breakfast, normally $11 each. The hotel also has free parking (some Marriotts charge $15 a day!), and since it is in a relatively obscure area, we felt pretty safe. Also free wireless internet access and a nice pool. The hotel is clean - everything feels really new - and the service was very good. We asked for things like razors, toothpaste, and a microwave, and all of it was delivered to our room right away. Even without all the extra perks like microwave delivery, I definitely recommend this hotel without hesitation. Ask for a room on the courtyard - we did - and we got a room with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. Every interaction with the staff was very positive. Even the cleaning people seem very service-oriented. The bed was comfortable and had fantastic linens. The only thing I found a little awkward is the room layout. It's good but unless you want to completely unpack your suitcase into the drawers and wardrobe, there's really nowhere other than the couch to set the suitcase! Overall, excellent hotel and service. One of the best I've ever stayed in. Note: this is NOT the same hotel as the Marriott Courtyard Bellevue/Downtown. I was confused about that while sifting through reviews of the two places. I've heard that that one is nice too, but this one is less expensive and has free parking. Just a tip.
