I need to stay four nights in Seattle, and following my friend’s advice I chose to split the stay and spend the first two nights in Bellevue. It’s also because I found a good Marriott deal – two nights at the Seattle Marriott Bellevue<\/a> hotel costs only 48,000 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Departing from the airport, there was some traffic going into Seattle and it took 40 minutes to get to the hotel. The hotel is about 10 minutes’ walk away from the downtown park which isn’t too bad. The Westin<\/a> and W<\/a> are more centrally located, but more expensive too.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to their website, most rooms are more or less the same, and one of the main differences is the presence or absence of a bath tub. I expressed my preference for a room with bath tub, but then it turns out to be a quest – no one has any idea what rooms that would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have to turn so many pages before finally assigning me a room. Then I make all the way to it only to find no tub in the bathroom at all. I have to go back to reception and they start another investigation, but this time they send a housekeeper to check the room first, and I eventually get what I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n

From what I understand they don’t have suites at this property, and what I’ve got – a high-floor, mountain view Executive room – is the best in their inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room is okay although nothing inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n

When the sky clears up – not very often during my stay in Seattle – you can see the mountains. The Westin and W presumably have better views as they are much taller.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To my disappointment, the bath tub is so tiny and low that you’d be lucky to fit a kid in it. I truly can’t figure out its purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n

The previous room I entered has a microwave, but it’s not available in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M Club just re-opened the Sunday before.<\/p>\n\n\n

Soft drinks and snacks are available throughout the day. I don’t think there’s any arrangement in the evening though.<\/p>\n\n\n

Elite breakfast is served in the M Club.<\/p>\n\n\n

Although there are a few hot items served, the quality is very underwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel has no swimming pool, but a gym.<\/p>\n\n\n

In summary, the Seattle Marriott Bellevue<\/a> is just about acceptable and nothing more. If you want to spend your Marriott points and are on budget, it’s one of the better options in and around Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
