Courtyard Seattle Bellevue/Redmond

I did not have high expectations but the staff here wowed me. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I was helped immediately and the check in process went smoothly. The queen suite room is clean and big and the location was easy to find. The pool and hot tub was clean and well maintained. I have nothing negative to say about this hotel.

I used their app to check in beforehand, got my card key and was out of the lobby within 2 minutes. Great!
The hotel was undergoing renovation. Each day, different parts of the hotel, inside and out, were inaccessible, which was slightly inconvenient. Work was confined between 8 AM and 5 PM.
The room I stayed in looked renovated. The bathroom was very clean. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The HVAC unit was the older, wall mounted style and was very noisy. I had to shut it down at night. At least they were thoughtful enough to put the noisy mini-​fridge in the bathroom area. Unfortunately, the walls were not well insulated. It’s easy to hear the showers and talking in nearby rooms.
The free Wi-​Fi speed was measured at around 2.6 Mbps up and down. Not good enough for HD video but sufficient for general email and web surfing. I did not try the paid Wi-​Fi, which was advertised as 3x faster. Most importantly, access was very consistent. There’s nothing worse than flaky Internet service.
All in all, this is a basic business traveler’s hotel, close to the big Redmond employer and to Route 520.

Customer service was amazing, the receptionist was very informative and charismatic. The breakfast was delicious, and Ofcourse also excellent customer service there! I would of gave them 5 star but the rooms don’t have the best insulation so you could hear the people upstairs. Everything else was great! We will return, but we will stay on the 2^nd floor

Stayed here for a few nights with awesome rates considering it was during New Year’s Eve. This place allowed us to check in early, 5am to be exact. The room was big enough with a small fridge. Wish it came with a microwave though. If you need a microwave, they have one at the 24 hour market that they have right by the entrance.
We had no issues what so ever, it was quiet and plenty of parking. Luckily, we were on the first floor :) (no elevators)
*close to the freeway
*not too far from Seattle

Average… nothing more and nothing less

BOYCOTT THIS HOTEL: bad treatment of visiting soccer team!
This hotel was at one time good. They’ve gotten greedy and literally are getting their extra money on the backs of kids. They treated a visiting soccer team horribly. Promised a buffet breakfast– allowed it to be advertised and then gave growing boys a muffin and orange juice in prep for a big day of soccer. When we complained no response from management. Very disappointing!!! Boycott this place!

Noisy, cheap, and tacky! The corridors have a wooden base which means if you are staying in the lower floor you get to hear every step that people take on the second floor.
Your restaurant choices are severely limited as there are simply no decent restaurants within easy walking distance. The food they have on offer is simply reheated plastic food which takes longer to prepare than if they cooked it!
The gym or «fitness center» is about the size of a postage stamp as are the bathrooms
The only reason they have any business is because of their proximity to the Microsoft Campus!
My advice would be to look closer to Redmond.

SLEEP WELL. Plush bedding in the executive king room is worth the upgrade.
If you’re like me, when you’re traveling for work you’re tired at the end of the day. The beds in these rooms are super comfortable. (As good as any 5-​star resort I’ve stayed) I always wake up refreshed, even if I don’t get the full eight hours.
A bonus is the bath/​showers are clean and the water is hot.

I absolutely hate staying at a hotel that is filthy, worn and stinky. Unfortunately, if you are spending less than $ 200 a night, you’ll find them more frequently than one would like. I don’t like spending $ 200 a night either so finding a place around the $ 100/​night rate is a challenge. I found this hotel to be reasonable in terms of cleanliness, room condition, staff and surrounding property. Right at $ 100 the rooms were comfortable and clean. I’d stay here again. I have paid a lot more than this for a room that could not compare to this. I favor the Marriott chain simply because of the value. The restaurant could use better staff, the person that helped us seemed overwhelmed in making an appetizer for 2 tables. All in all, this is getting 4 stars for the value of staying somewhere quiet in the Redmond area and not having to pay $ 200 a night.

This hotel… I stayed here while house hunting in the area. And only for one night! Even at the discounted rate I got on Expedia, it wasn’t worth it. There was only one thin towel in the bathroom and the hotel carpet and design looks like it’s out of era no one ever imagined or wanted to live in. The bed was comfortable enough, but the wifi was slow, and in a hotel that is 2 stories and over $ 170 a night, there’s no elevator? That’s right, no elevator. It’s fun, carrying your heavy luggage up the tight stairwell and down again. In the room, there is bottled water on the counter, but don’t drink it, the fine print tells you it’s $ 3.50 for a small bottle of water. (I stayed at Larkspur Landing after that, their bottle water was complimentary and the rate was cheaper.) The television in the room only goes up to about 20 – 30, which is barely enough to hear over the room fan if they’re both running. And I know why, the walls were so thin I could hear my neighbors fighting… and then consequently «making up» all night. No complimentary breakfast, and the restaurant is over-​priced. Upon checking out, they asked how my experience was, and I said I was disappointed and wouldn’t be back. The response from the witless front desk? «That’s nice, thanks for your stay!»
So.
Yeah.
Would not recommend.

I was disrespected as a veteran. We called to verify what I needed as a friend booked the room, after calling. Then, we get there, and I was told only the person whom made the reservation can get the room even though it was made in my name. The employees don’t seem to know the riles and therefore should not be answering the phone. He wouldn’t even get a manager for me to speak with.

289 no recycling bin in room, closet is non exist any instead you get an armour that is too small, no luggage rack to unfold and place your bag.
Nicely decorated, but I’m not sure I would stay here again, very awkward!
Great pool area and jacuzzi

This place had a surprisingly nice lounge area where you can borrow wine glasses from the counter and sit comfortably even in large groups. What really won us over though was after checking out, we realized that some very important papers had been left in our room. When explaining this, the manager actually dug through the trash to find it for us! We were so grateful, they really went above and beyond to help us out, thank you!

Two stars. One for convenience to Microsoft and two for nice people that work here. Im deducting stars because the hallway is loud through the doors, i was awoken by the person above me and the most the front desk offered to do was call them which didn’t help and the fire detector in my room strobed every 15 seconds which was even annoying through my closed eyelids. Next time i will pick a hotel that is more amenable to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Save your money and stay at the Fairfield.
This hotel does not have an elevator. I understand that it only has two floors, but a warning would be beneficial to guests, especially if they are coming in with 2 50lbs bag of sports equipment and don’t want to carry them up after traveling.
The breakfast is much better at the Fairfield. The bistro is honestly a joke. The selection is overpriced and mediocre.

The Courtyard Marriott is hidden upon entering… or at least I couldn’t find it while driving at 8 o’clock pm. We check in, and the front desk assists us as we are having credit card issues. She’s helpful, efficient, and knowledgeable. Note, that this location is more in Redmond than it is Bellevue, nonetheless, it’s on the East side of Seattle.
I’m not sure whether or not to give it 2 stars, or 3. First off, we got a suite and it was $ 180. It sure as hell did not feel like a suite. I really don’t even know if it was worth being called that because it was really small. You enter, and the room is on the left, bathroom on the right, and boom, there’s the living room (a few feet from the door). Not much of a suite if you ask me. More like a regular bedroom at any other hotel. Perhaps it’s called as suite b/​c the bedroom has a door? Ehh, not worth it. Anyway, I guess things were made up for it because the bathroom was a little bit bigger than usual & the bedroom too. It came with 2 TV’s (one in the bedroom and one in the living room).
There was a small mini fridge, and a microwave. They charge you $ 3.50 for water bottles they provide you… which I think is stupid. But there was some «patio» which was more like the courtyard’s side of the hotel/​back… not much of a patio if you ask me. And it was creepy when walking outside because you see other people dressed in dark clothing awkwardly staring at you with a cigarette in their mouth as they slowly look and walk to their room a few feet away, Ugh.
Overall, there was drama the night i stayed here. Their staff was somewhat helpful. They don’t have much of a security to escort unwanted guests. Instead, they call the police. I guess that’s helpful? Not sure where I stand on that because of my lack on experience. But they were gracious the first time and warned us about the loud noise (as we were trying to escort someone to leave).
Pros: free parking, wi-​fi, nice, clean linen/​bathroom.
Cons: not enough toiletries for people to use for showering, etc. Not enough plug-​ins. And too small of rooms!

The Marriott hotels are always my favorite to stay when I travel any were. The staff were super nice and friendly and the hotel was beautiful.

Blah. This hotel reminds me of a 1991 Ford Mustang that’s been freshly spray painted. It *might* have been nice two decades ago – and it probably was much cooler back then due to its proximity to Microsoft’s Redmond campus – but this place’s glory days are long gone.
Both of my stays at this hotel have been on business; I’ve stayed a total of 7 nights over the last 2 months. Had I paid for any part of my stay either time, I would have felt compelled to give this place 1 star.
The negatives:
–Old, musty rooms – and size-​wise the two double bed room is okay, but the one king bed room is way, way too small
–Paper-​this walls. Seriously.
–Unreliable plumbing (I had to move rooms once b/​c my shower didn’t work, and my co-worker’s toilet had to be serviced)
–Long waits to check-​in (15 minutes or more)
–Not walkable to any restaurants
–See-​through bath towels
–Spotty wireless
Admittedly, the location of this place is convenient if you’re working on MS Redmond campus (and doing NOTHING else, ever).
And the spray paint in this case… the updated lobby. YES, it’s clear they’ve put significant effort into updating the front reception and open snack bar area. The fireplace is hip, and the oatmeal for breakfast is quite tasty. NO, this does not make up for the aforementioned negatives.
I’ll be staying in Bellevue proper next time I’m here.

Huge upgrade since my 2009 review. First, the little buffet restaurant — gone. Old front desk — gone. Lousy rooms which smelled like dust, smoke and truckers… gone!
This place was completely gutted and re-​done opening early 2011 and is really nice. For $ 101 (AAA rate), we scored a nice king room + breakfast for 2! We were in town 4 nights and had a really decent experience.
Truthfully, this hotel is still probably 3.5 stars v 4, but «value» plays a big piece in this rating.
Positives:
Free wifi (if you have a marriott rewards #)
Excellent rate, Value is excellent
Small gym/​pool and laundry
Free parking
Convenient location
Decent running/​Biking trail along 520
Quiet
Negatives:
No bar
No elevator
Beds aren’t great
Towels are thin
Single sink
I’d stay here again!

Why would I write a review on this hotel and what the hell am I going to say? I know, I am at 30K feet, have wi-​fi, and am bored. This hotel is a bit uninspiring. Locaiton is drab. Hotel is dated, thought it is getting renovated.
Wait, service was good. If you are points person, this place is acceptable, but unremarkable. You’ll forget it, which can be both a good and bad thing. They have free HBO, just kidding (they do have HBO though). Flying sucks so bad I’m writing a review on this hotel, which neither excites or enrages me…
