Seattle Marriott Redmond

If you do not eat, email, telephone, or drive, this is the perfect hotel for you! On our first night, we had no fridge in the room, and were told that "all available fridges have been taken already"? What kind of a hotel puts 44" LCD flat screens in every room, but can't afford a $99 mini fridge? Then the internet, and parking. Why is it that the more luxurious the hotel, the less they give away? Once again I was met with the road warrior's bane; cabled internet to the room, at $20/day (no WiFi). Parking was no better - hotel parking was in the mall parkade across the street, where shoppers can park for free, but I had to pay $10 a day for what they call self park. Great, $10 to park it myself. Next time, I'll probably get charged $10 for self-suitcase too. The hotel failed to deliver.

Positives: Close to amenities, clean rooms.

Negatives: No fridge in rooms, no free internet, $1 local calls, $10 to park in public spots.

I loved the location of the hotel right in Redmond Square, so many things to do and lots of restaurants. It was fun to feel like you were in a city, but it was quiet and easy to get around. The rooms are very nice and the lobby and surrounding area was very appealing to the eye.

Positives: The location is wonderful, so many fun things to do. Feels like a city hotel but quiet!

Negatives: The restaurant wasn't very clean.

The sheets, comforter and feather pillows made my stay absolutely heaven! The hotel was very clean. I liked having the shopping and movies within walking distance. Parking is $10/night for self park and $19/nt for valet. I was not expecting that. Overall, a great place to stay.

Positives: The sheets and comforter were heavenly.

Negatives: The high price for parking that was not disclosed.

Warm environment, close to shops, I assumed there were two queen beds, only to find one king, we had to arrange two air beds and no blankets were provided. Restaurant was not accommodating, long waits and not a knowledge staff, friendly, but not helpful on information.

Positives: Nice atmosphere, fireplace, clean.

Negatives: Parking was a pain, restaurant had a 45 minute wait on a Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

Hotel was in a great location and very clean. Lots to do in the area with all the shopping around.

Positives: It was close to everything-nice shopping area.

Negatives: Restaurant was too expensive and bar and restaurant never allowed us to eat because either too busy or never opened.

Nice shopping and movie theater surrounds the hotel. The hotel and its rooms were very attractive. The printer in the hotel's little computer room did not work, so I could not print my boarding pass in advance. I did not receive the promised newspaper or express check-out bill on the day of my departure.

Positives: The rooms were attractive and the bedding was comfortable.

Negatives: I did not receive a promised newspaper or express checkout bill on my day of departure.

Overall had a very nice experience, except for the long hair found in the bath towel. Housekeeping came in to replace right away. Hotel offered a free dessert (but we had just a big dinner) or movie (too tired) or 2,000 Marriot points, we declined these offers but accepted a breakfast buffet for 2 of the next morning.

Positives: Very pleasantly surprised - attractive, friendly & courteous staff, good location.

Negatives: Found a foreign hair in bath towel but was replaced by housekeeping.

Nice hotel, clean, good size rooms. Location is the best part though. Lots of shopping and dining when you step out of the hotel. Area is clean, safe and very family friendly.

Positives: Good sized room, excellent location, can spend the whole day w/out leaving the area.

Negatives: Had to pay $10 for overnight parking, should be free.

Nestled in an attractive new open-air shopping complex, this lovely, well-maintained and superbly staffed hotel delivered a delightful sojourn. We encountered friendly, efficient front desk and bell staff paired with attractive well=appointed rooms and plush beds. Plenty of appealing, affordable eateries just steps away and a movie theater across the street. Just a short, easy drive to the 520 and 405 roadways, so fairly convenient to all Seattle has to offer.

Positives: A great value at the price I paid for a superb suite.

Negatives: The price of parking.

We were the first ones to the pool on our last morning there. The night before there were no towels for their towel service, and still no towels the next morning. There were no signs saying not to go in the pool but they had only just serviced their pool with chlorine and I swam under water with my eyes open for no more than 3 laps and suffered burning eyes and blurred vision requiring medical treatment that day and into the next day. If I were still in the city of the hotel I would be considering legal action for the pool incident and my vision problems.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Rudeness, unskillful ness in problem solving.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 10 Jul 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

It would have been nice to know up front that there would be a parking fee of at least 10 dollars per day.

Positives: Very clean and a friendly staff.

Negatives: I had to pay for parking.

The location is magnificent! The facility blends in perfectly with the neighboring shopping mall. While other facilities are adjacent to malls this one integrates perfectly! If looking for a quick snack or just a morning stroll everything is just steps away...

Positives: Location!

Negatives: In the coffee capital of the world, No lobby coffee bar!

Convenient to downtown Seattle, about 6 miles new of Seattle. Friendly supportive staff. Super comfortable beds. Very clean rooms. Quiet facility in Redmond town center. Convenient parking. Walking distance to shopping and cinemas.

Negatives: Paucity of good local restaurants.

The hotel is very new so everything is clean and pretty. We did not use the pool area. Staff was very friendly. Directions on Marriott's site are incorrect - call for better. Located in a shopping area with outdoor kid's play area and movie theater right across the street. Downer for me. I hate being charged for Internet access. Cheaper hotels offer this for free. Marriott charges you $3 min + per minute charges to use their business center and more if you want access in the room. Otherwise, fabulous stay.

Positives: Friendly staff, located by shopping and services.

Negatives: Being charged $3 for Internet in a biz ctr.
