Red Lion - accommodation in Bellevue

My kids found this to be a very posh hotel. They loved the glass ceiling, very Parisian, and the glass elevators, even if two were under maintenance during our short stay. The outdoor pool next to a pond was also a win and everyone loved journeying to the ninth floor for a microwave. I found the staff to be excellent. We had no issues in our room and really, really loved the Starbucks in the lobby. When does a traveler ever not need coffee? The first downside I can report is that there were no pool towels at 9 AM, when the pool opened, or an hour later when we left the pool area. A drippy walk back to our rooms wasn't much fun, but at least in July that works. The beds were comfortable and clean and if we return I'm looking forward to trying one of the window loungers. Seems like a good way to hang for a quiet hour or so. Lastly, why is there a separate parking fee? Really? That should be part of the price.

As expected. It is nice but our shower had a slow drip that was annoying.

The property was nice and clean. Staff was helpful. Plenty of parking. The Woods coffee shop that is attached to the hotel is very good and convenient.
