This is an affordable hotel in a great area. The hotel is a little shabby, dirty in some areas, and run-down, but it is across the street from a light rail station and within walking distance of the heart of Bellevue. The staff was fairly friendly and the included breakfast was minimal (cold cereal, bagels, hard boiled eggs). You also need to request maid service as they don't automatically clean the rooms every day. Parking is easy and plentiful, but they do charge you a daily parking fee. The surrounding area is safe.
