Luis, bellevue

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was great, clean and spacious. I would have given the hotel 5 stars review -knowing that is a solid Hilton inn garden, nothing fancy but clean and nice. The staff and the facilities were disappointing. Hilton has signs that read “if something is wrong please bring it up to our staff and we’ll make it work. Guaranteed”. Turns out that’s not the case. I had two issues, that couldn’t have been solved but were not and staff was unwilling to make it right: 1. Gym closed at 8pm…. And staff was not able or unwilling to unlock, and 2. I was given credit for food that I couldn’t use because I booked through Expedia. This last one I was able to fight and get it waived as I “used” the credit for breakfast on site to use the credit but later was told it wouldn’t apply. They made it right, but took me much longer and complaint which could have been solved in seconds since it was their miscommunication (I had asked twice before using it that it would work and was told yes by two different staff people.

Good clean property and rooms. Although it’s pet friendly, there’s no dedicated place for dogs to use the bathroom. Had to walk blocks away to find grassy area. AC in room worked, but if you have a little one in the pullout it blasts them first and directly. Kind of a poor room design.

Property was nice and staff were great. The indoor heated pool was nice but was way over capacity. People had the back door propped out and it felt like people not staying at the hotel were swimming. There was about 50 people all from one family there making it miserable for my family.
