Hotels near Seattle Sun Tan, Issaquah

I have to note that I have stayed in so many hotels relocating from the East Coast to the West Coast, and I’ve been very surprised at certain hotel chains. This hotel was a delight!! I’ve worked in customer service for years, and I was always told that you be able to know who the manager is just by their leadership skills; I knew immediately that Raj was the General Manager. His professionalism, accuracy, and customer service skills were impeccable; by far the best I’ve seen and I’ve stayed at 25 different hotels during this journey. The hotel itself is also wonderful, which reflects on management also. Every front desk employee was excellent, and I appreciate some humor, and got some from a young lady. The rooms are immaculate, and very spacious; there are a lot of places to meet all your needs in terms of toiletries, wine, and many other things. You can ask the front desk so many questions and not only will they give you the answers, but they will make sure you understand where you are going. The entire team was dressed perfectly, something I’ve noticed has been lacking in other hotels. I think it’s also in the perfect location, because your right outside of Seattle, but not in the middle of all the chaos so you have a great deal peace, but can get to the city in 15 minutes approximately, This has been my favorite hotel that we have stayed at since bouncing around the Seattle area. I applaud Raj, and all management as well as the front desk agents, you truly are all wonderful, and I felt at home but better bc the hotel is just wonderful in all respects. Thank you North Gate for restoring my faith in hotels again.

I’ve stayed at this hotel whenever I’m in Bellevue, WA for well over thirty years. My earliest memories of this property were as a Red Lion Hotel. Then it became a Double Tree and finally, on its deathbed , it’s a Hilton. How the mighty have fallen… Not withstanding the property, which I’ll get into, I will say that the staff are generally kind and helpful. So this review is not to diminish their efforts. However hard they work, the reality is this property is beyond salvage and should be torn down and a new property should be built in its place. The bedrooms are grossly outdated, and when you look behind the doors, or in between the furniture, you’ll see how old this hotel is. While it’s sizeable in space and scope, the elevators are tragically slow, with two-of-four being out of commission when we stayed there recently. Sadly, the water pressure is so low it takes forever to wash and rinse. Our keycard failed three separate times, requiring a long walk and painful elevator ride back to the main desk where the staff reset the keycard. The pool is functioning, but there were never enough chairs and loungers. Add to this there were never enough fresh towels and you’re getting the taste of mediocrity this hotel delivers. One absolutely disgusting site is the swamp that lies just beside the pool (down the concrete foundation about twenty feet). I have no idea who thinks this is aesthetically pleasing, but it’s not. It’s home to a few ducks who clearly have poor taste in accommodations, as did we. This poolside unattraction is downright ugly. One thing I was interested to see were several staff members not wearing any type of formal Hilton uniforms. The breakfast buffet chef was literally dressed in Carharts with a t-shirt, work boots and a ball cap on. And one of the maintenance staff looked like he just walked in off the street. Management must have been on vacation at another property. Finally, the outside of the building, including the massive sloping glass facade, clearly hasn’t been washed in decades. And worse, yet, the parking area is filthy to say the least. Food containers, candy wrappers, cigarette butts and hygiene products lay a strewn for days with no effort to maintain a modest effort in appearance. This was the last time we will stay at this hotel. If you want to save yourself frustration and disappointment, I encourage you to stay at the new Marriott up the street. Literally blocks away, it’s a cleaner, nicer bet.

Jessica was our lovely waitress and made my brunch visit with my mom very enjoyable with her bright smile. The food exceeded our expectations and the coffee was a delightful experience. We were both very pleased with our experience and can't wait to come back.

The room had everything you need, including a Keurig coffee maker. The hotel was quiet and had a nice breakfast, with excellent bagels from nearby Blazing Bagels. Also an awesome coffee machine in the lobby that grinds the beans and makes great coffee drinks. Had one breakfast at the Pancake House next door, where you get a 15% discount when staying at the hotel. Nice location, and we were able to walk right from the hotel to the W. Samammish trail, where we had great views of the lake and Mt. Rainier about a mile or so south on the trail from a couple of piers.

We were unable to drive to our house due to an icy hill, so we stayed a night at the Courtyard by Marriott Seattle Sea-Tac Area. We booked the room through a booking platform and chose the option that included prepaid parking. Imagine our surprise when the hotel charged us for parking anyway — and for two days, since we were there on both sides of midnight. I wrote to Marriott HQ about this and was told someone would be getting in touch. I'm still waiting. Finally, I wrote again. This time they totally ignored my email. DO NOT CHOOSE THE FREE PARKING OPTION. The hotel also socked us for $100 because we brought our dog. (A much better hotel where we just stayed charged a $15 dog fee.) The room was spartan (to say the least) and offered no amenities. When we asked about a microwave, they brought an ancient, decrepit model to our room. We could have heated our coffee faster with a flashlight. Free breakfast? Apparently not when you're spending a mere $239 (plus the dog fee). Rather than pay the outrageous prices at the on-site restaurant, we got a fine breakfast at the nearby Panera Bread. The one bright spot was the front-desk staff, who were friendly and seemed to care about the customers (and their dogs). But everything else seemed to deliver this message: ”We're here for one purpose — to separate you from as much of your money as we possibly can. And give you very little in return.” There are many other hotels in the Tukwila area, including some new ones that look very promising. I'd look into those before I'd ever consider coming to this one.

I’ve stayed here more than 20 times! It always Clean, spacious, quiet and the staff is fantastic!! Good gym, bar and walking distance to a number of good restaurants including Mexican, sushi, Italian and Thai food!
