This was a good place to stay. Room was clean and tidy. Checked in online but still had to go to the desk. Parking is underground and there were plenty of spots on Level 2. The pool was disappointing. It’s indoor, cood and quite small. Don’t expect to swim laps. The breakfast buffet was underwhelming for the price. Be sure to bring your breakfast voucher and tell the server you paid in advance.

My daughter was walked in on when changing in our room. Spoke with front desk and another attendant came in to our room without knocking shortly after. Very unsafe for our family. Spoke to supervisor Gabriel. They were going to work with Expedia to refund half of our stay due to our experience

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.
