“Wow - this is not your typical Residence Inn”
This is a brand new Residence Inn, obviously a new design for this brand. It is surprisingly nice. Wow, a lobby I want to hang out in! The lobby is more of a very large living room with a built-in Starbucks. Only problem is you have to go to front desk to get a barista to show up. The rooms are large, roomy and comfortable with a nice kitchen. Bed is very comfy. Parking costs $10/night, which seems a strange cost given the hotel's location. The workout room is unusually nice. Lots of cardio-theater, some free weights and machines, and yoga equipment. It's well equipped with towels, water, earbuds, and sanitizer wipe-downs. The staff is very accommodating, though I found the breakfast staff to be slow and a tad rushed. I'm going back to Bellevue next week and I'm staying here!
