Coast Bellevue Hotel

First off I booked on Hotel Tonight at a rate of $ 79 and optioned for the second night for $ 55 two nights with tax $ 155 top it off with FREE parking, FREE breakfast and it was fresh and a nice selection. The room was clean hot showers and had Starbucks coffee and a micro fridge, bed was great ! My wife and I travel around the U.S. And for the money I will put this on top of my list AAA+++

This is a great location, it’s super easy to hop on 405 North or South.
This is an older hotel (the rooms have popcorn ceilings) could def use some updating in the rooms. There were many little details that if they focused on them would have made a huge difference: the shower curtain was ripped, the caulking of the tub was peeling off, the fire sprinklers were rusted out, the bathroom door had so much swelling to it from water damage it wouldn’t shut and there are no locks on the bathroom door, the toilet handle was rusted and peeling… this was just in the bathroom! Should I go on? Of course the lobby is nicely updated.
Breakfast is included, which is a great perk but the breakfast was disappointing. Free parking. yah! Overall, it’s decent.

attended a 2 day training class, they offered a small discount, I still got a better rate and room a block away. Ate a catered dinner at the facility, next time I’ll skip it and try chickfila next door. 1star hotel and food with 4star prices

As a business traveler for a large corporate company, I travel to many cities and stay in many hotels. When booking a hotel through our 3^rd party, preferred hotels populate, and if they look nicer than the local Hilton/​Marriott I will chose the independent hotel to mix it up.
The Coast Bellevue hotel populated on our corporate website as a preferred hotel. I looked at the reviews and pictures (on our corporate website) and it looked like a nice boutique hotel. It is also a part of a small Canadian chain of hotels, so I thought it must be nice…
Upon arrival… There were quite a few shady characters hanging outside of the hotel. In fact, one approached me and asked if I could help jump their car (1^st red flag). After helping out, I went into the lobby, very nice and chic… When I got to the room… Another story… HFS… The room was disgusting! (2^nd red flag) Very outdated and that dingy dirty feeling. NASTY!
After situating my stuff and firing up my laptop… No internet connection to be found. Not on my laptop, iPhone or IPad! I called the front desk… She explained that I should try to reset my devices… And if that didn’t work, they could move my room. After resetting my devices and still no signal, I walked the halls trying to connect, I finally got a connection when I was in the lobby. I asked the front desk if this was typical… Without a clear answer I was told, it can be spotty sometimes and that they could call the hotel engineer to reset the wifi… I switched hotel 5 minutes later to the Hampton Inn just down the street… Waaaay better!!!
Bottom Line: DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

Besides the smoke smell in the halls and the room, it’s not bad. You can tell that they have renovated this old hotel, but have missed some cleaning details which the $ 91 I spent reflects. There was some mild in the tub where they put new putty and the tub was looking a bit out of shape. There were some stains on white sheets and rips in the carpet. As I came back from breakfast, I decided to use another elevator and it definitely wasn’t renovated and smelt like smoke as well. There were black holes in the air ducts about 3″ in diameter, about every 8′-10′ All throughout the hallways. There are the details which need to be fixed for this hotel to charge more and get more customers. There are a lot of rooms in this hotel.

I think whats important here is determining what you are getting for the cost. Their price ranges from 100 – 250 from what I’ve seen, and I would only take that if it fits better in your budget than all of the other hotels in the area, as there are quite a few just across the freeway. The hotel had that old funk to it (Smell, not style). The staff was super nice though. Everyone from the front desk, restaurant folks and cleaning service. Its just that the facilities and rooms are really dated and the furniture feels it. The right side of the bed dipped down really far when I laid down, but the left side was firm. The shower never really drained fully when I was there and the room, hallways and elevator smelled musty. There looked to be some black dots on the bathroom walls which kind of looked like mold (I’m no mold expert, so it may not have been). It smelled like they were covering it up with some perfume in those general areas. The breakfast in the morning was pretty good. Hot breakfast and they kept it stocked. This place is a good budget hotel. I would stay here if paying less than $ 100 or so per night.

This hotel is what I would expect for $ 49 a night. However, it was much more expensive than that.
Clean, free parking, easy to get to, that’s about all that’s going for it. The price suggest it is in some great location, but it’s not. The linens were very coarse and scratchy, it was difficult to get additional pillows (and the cleaning staff took them back before the second night, as well as the hand soap and some grocery bags I had stashed for reuse). The décor is quite run down and the ambiance almost creepy. Only the lobby is updated.

I stayed at the Coast Bellevue this past week for business. It was a last minute trip and I should have stayed in my car. The hotel staff was polite, the location is convenient but those are the only redeeming qualities. The wifi is poor at best, the TV channels only work ½ the time, the décor of the rooms and hotel is awful (the room was clean). The shower is terrible if you are taller than 5′. The bed is probably the original bed from the time the hotel was built. The power outlets are few and far between (extension cords are in the room for additional outlets (wow). The price of the hotel was inflated ($ 250/​night) because of the current events in the area and definitely not worth the price.

Decently priced for the location. Hotel is close to highway access, and a short drive to Seattle (when there’s not traffic, which is rare). We didn’t partake in the continental breakfast. The staff was friendly upon check in and check out. Our room was clean upon arrival.

Very convenient location in downtown Bellevue. Rooms are clean and comfortable, nothing fancy. We were missing a shower curtain which gave everyone a good laugh but they were quick to bring a new one. Chik fil a is next door if you like that place… seems a lot of people here do. It’s been here 3 months but it makes the intersection hard to get through. Would definitely stay here again as our office is very close.

My daughter and I booked a trip to Seattle through Hotwire and ended up at the Coast Bellevue Hotel. I read some of the previous reviews so I was a little concerned about how it would be — I was pleasantly surprised! It’s a great location, right off the 405 so it was easy to find. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Our room was ready and very clean. The remote for the TV was missing, but it seemed they had 3 – 4 of them go missing ??? It had a nice flat screen TV, a little refrigerator, coffee and a nice view of the courtyard. The beds were comfortable enough however they need to flip and rotate the mattresses occasionally as it was obvious that people only sleep on one side of the one I had.
The complimentary breakfast was pretty tasty, included eggs, sausage or bacon, potatoes, bagels, cereals, pastries and fruit and juices– every day. The staff in the restaurant/​bar were friendly and it was very clean.
I would recommend staying here for the price.

Whole downstairs is very nice and luxurious. Complimentary breakfast was amazing, buffet with eggs, meat, potatoes, oatmeal, bagels, muffins, pastries, fruit, yogurt, orange juice, and coffee. The room was nice but could be updated a little to match the downstairs. The bed and bed covers were great quality but the rest of the room didn’t match the quality. Free wifi and pool (amenities were not mentioned though), make sure to ask! Would be willing to come back.

I know you’re going to see a lot of bad reviews for this place, but I’m here to tell you the real deal. It’s a great hotel for the price. It is not updated. The lobby looks fabulous. The rooms are kind of half updated and half not. But one thing I can tell you clearly is that the rooms and bathrooms are clean, very clean. And you have all you need.…a nice flat-​screen television, a table and chairs, a refrigerator, nice closet space, and the room rate includes a very full breakfast. I thought it was wonderful. Not gourmet food, but it does the job. They have just about everything you’d want to eat for breakfast.

Pros:
Good location (if you have a car) with easy access to freeways in Bellevue/​Seattle etc.
Nice clean rooms with pretty décor
Good coffee in rooms
Pretty lobby with chairs for meeting others
Nice big eating area for free breakfast
Cons:
Beds are okay for one NOT for two — they need replaced. Very squishy.
Parking is tight
One room we were given had a strong strong smell of smoke (they moved us)
Only one convenient elevator and if you have luggage you have to wait for others to be able to fit

I’ve stayed here twice, and unfortunately have not had luck either times. First time, the room was somewhat grungy, and the shower wouldn’t drain, backing up when I tried to rinse off. When we called front desk to get it fixed they plunged the toilet instead. Second call they came and did something to the shower, but it still didn’t drain well.
The next time I stayed here it just felt grungy again, and the sheets were so wrinkly I was kinda worried they didn’t get washed.
Also, the beds are pretty hammock-​like. Needs new mattresses!

This is not a 3 star hotel like Priceline says. I’ve been to others that are truly 3 stars. Our bed feels like a waterbed and your body sinks in far. I think it’s time for new mattresses. Everything is so loud from people slamming doors to hearing the traffic outside. This could be a 3 star if they would just update the beds it is really hard sleeping at night. The continental breakfast includes cereals, breads, fruit. eggs. meat and sometimes french toast.

I found this place to be a delight for the most part. When you first drive up your outside perspective is questionable as to wether you may like it. Its simple. Once I walked in i was hit with the great fresh and clean smell in the lobby! When we checked in, it was fast and simple. We were on the 6^th floor, our room was very clean and well presented. I would compare its appearance to a courtyard hotel. My view was downtown bellevue, beautiful! My only complaints were the beds, they were very bouncy and you sunk towards the center of the bed. I managed but because of the beds, and my bad back I wont book here again. If i had a normal back, i would book here again. Breakfast was cereal, oatmeals, breads, bagels, coffee, juices and fruit. Parking was free here. Location was convenient. 10 minutes from Pikes Place.

Not the best, but also not the worst. The Coast Hotel gets the three.
Room was clean, staff was friendly and it was close to Bellevue Square for my daughter to run around all over the Kidz Cove.
Convenient location, complimentary continental breakfast, of which I only dared to eat plain Cheerios with milk and an apple. Staff were friendly and helpful. Certain parts of the hotel were a bit dated, but that’s ok to me.
The beds were a bit springy, but clean.
Free wifi that worked well for me.

Beautiful views from room. Comfy beds, Free WiFi with no problems losing connectivity. Big flat screen with plenty of channel choices. Smelled wonderful everytime we entered the hotel. Unfortunately missed the happy hour both nights we were there, but what a great little perk! Loved the Starbucks in room nice touch also. Read other reviews and seems like some people will never be satisfied. Props to you Coast Hotel.

I used to stay at the Coast Bellevue often due to the frequency it came up on Priceline’s bidding site. My last visit was 2009, according to their records. I paid $ 150 this week on Orbitz, as Priceline has changed their system for the eastside of Seattle. I must say that for $ 150, the Coast is terribly overpriced.
It appears that they have neglected maintenance in several areas including the rooms. My room had a shower and sink faucet that were difficult to find the right spot for warm water. I didn’t want to walk on the carpet in bare feet, as they were stained and just didn’t look great. The heating/​air unit is one of those old dial units mounted to the wall — old and loud. The one window that opened had a pack of cigarettes outside, so clearly someone had poked their head outside to smoke. Not a deal breaker for me since I couldn’t smell it, but the cleaning staff apparently didn’t see it worthy to clean, either. My bed was comfortable, and I slept well, which probably got them the second star.
The free WiFi was okay, but spotty in my room. It would work for a while, then would drop. I had concerns about the facility, so I skipped the breakfast that was included.
You would think that at $ 150/​night the hotel could afford to put some back into the facility. It doesn’t look like they’ve invested much back into the facility since my last visit in 2009, so it’s hard to see how their decline gets corrected. Thus, it’s hard to recommend this facility to my fellow Unilocalers. Perhaps at $ 100 it gets a second look, but certainly not at $ 150.
