We just arrived for our 3 night stay. What a nice modern and clean hotel. The front staff was extremely friendly.

It is hard to know what to expect from online pics of a hotel. Our one bedroom suite is very spacious. A large kitchen area with all full size appliances, together with large eating table.

Nice size living area too, everthing is so spacious.

The bedroom is huge. Having 2 flat screens in the suite is also a plus.

Free wireless internet, free parking, free breakfast too!!

Very reasonably priced, I looked at other hotels with just 2 double beds that were $350/night.

I'm currently at the Hotel Sierra Bellevue, and I'm generally pleased with the hotel.
Good points:
- Friendly, courteous staff
- Very good full breakfast (complimentary)
- Good quality bed, linens, towels
- More modern look (compared to the competition - see below)
- Well equipped kitchonette (modern appliances, pots, pans, dishes, flatware, utensils)
- Good quality LCD TV
- Coin-operated laundry facility
- Business center, with printers!
- Good price

Things that I didn't like as much (note: Studio apartment)
- No desk. There's a single eating/working table, and a bar-style chair. Suboptimal for long hours on the weekend.
- No drawer chest. The closet (with a few open shelves) is not as convenient.
- The kitchen sink is way too small, not really useful.
- Location: not much to do / eat / shop around. Factoria Mall is inferior to Crossroads or 148th St X 20-24 Ave.

Bottom line:
Nice, relatively modern hotal, good staff, so-so location.
My other alternatives: Silver Cloud Redmond & Residence Inn Bellevue East. Will I return? Quite possibly.

I heartily recommend this Washington State hotel. From the minute we walked into the lobby, until checkout, our visit was almost flawless. The staff was most helpful, and the rooms generous of size and immaculate. The place is only 3 months old (since April 2008), so it still has that new feel and smell.

I liked the configuration of the studio suite, with full kitchenette facilities. Fridge was almost full size and sparkling, ditto for the microwave and it even has a Ceran-type cooker mounted on the counter. Plus lots of cutlery and dishes.

Bed was king-size and very comfortable ... my wife liked it better than the Westin's Heavenly Bed.

Breakfast was a real treat, as well. We thought at first we had woken up in Germany when we saw the spread of cold meats, sausages, eggs, bacon and granola. The place advertises itself as having custom-made omlettes, but I actually missed the egg station the first time to the buffet, and had no space left when my wife pointed it out.

Only disappointment was when herself ordered an omelette and was told her name would be called, but never was. That's a bummer, because she said she saw other people eating them and said they looked wonderful. By the time she went back to check what had happened, the omelette station had closed.

Hotel is right off the freeway, but a tad difficult to get to if it's dark outside. So we went early to check it out, and the staff even let us check in at 11:30 am, which was a very nice touch.

I give it 4 1/2 stars.

We were pleasantly surprised at this hotel. We booked our stay on the hotel's website and got a very decent rate for one night. This was our first night to the Seattle area and we had never been there before. We checked in late at night due to a late flight but the receptionist was very nice and had a smile. He acquainted us of the accommodations available.

The parking was ample and free. The location was a suburb or Seattle which is an easy commute from the city. About 15 minutes from the airport too. The room was very modern with a small, clean kitchen near the entrance. Modern light fixtures and decor galore. A small couch with comfortable lighting. A nice sized bed which was comfortable. A flat screen t.v. was a perfect addition. The bathroom was nice and clean and again modern in decor.

The complementary breakfast the next morning was great. Many selections, fresh omelets made to order, the best fruits I have had in a long time. Starbucks coffee topped it off. Great stay and highly recommended.
