Residence Inn Seattle Northeast/Bothell

Decent Marriott hotel, standard experience. Nice that 24 Hour Fitness is down the road and a few good take out food places next to the gym. Nice safe neighborhood.

The rooms are nice, but the service here sucks. After driving in at about 230 am from being on a road trip up from California all week, I called the front desk to ask for a later check out and was informed «I’ve given a bunch of late checkouts today I can’t give anymore. The latest I can do is 1pm.» Rudely at that too. All I wanted was a little extra sleep and some time to get my things in order. Nothing is worse than a hotel that makes you feel unwelcome and unappreciated. The guy who checked me in at night was also rude he told me I «was keeping him awake.» Really? For 200 $ a night this is just bs.

Usually I have to go back and forth a couple of times on how many stars to give a place. Not this one, three stars is perfect.
Pros:
— Super friendly staff, everyone that I have met here is great. Whether I need something or I just happen to see a staff member in passing, big smiles and cheerful greetings.
— Spacious rooms
— Plenty of parking near my room.
— Safe area
— FAST complementary wifi
— Really great complementary breakfast every morning. I’m not talking about a standard continental breakfast with stale pastries and cold cereal, there was eggs, sausage, pancakes, potatoes, waffles, etc.
Cons:
— The kitchen supplies were all dirty, like caked on leftovers from the last guests. Gross!
— VERY loud. At least the first floor. I’m used to apartment living and I’ve never experienced such noisy neighbors.
— Very few clothes hangers in the closet.
— No on-​site restaurant/​room service.

Loved it. It had everything we needed for an extended stay in the Seattle area. It is outside Seattle, tucked among trees and with a pond out back with beaver, herons, and wild berries. Facilities are great, room is clean and updated. It was a good reprieve from our activities in the city, which we can only take so much of.

The first review I wrote was longer and more informative. Unilocal erased it as I went to sign in to post it. F You Unilocal!
Over all we were ok with this hotel. I have stayed in better hotels for cheaper but they are in area’s that have more competition (Vegas, L.A.) The grounds were nice, the rooms were clean and well stocked. We were glad that we didn’t have to leave the grounds to get breakfast but the eggs were obviously reconstituted and the oatmeal was like paste. We ate the eggs, laughed about the oatmeal.
Here are my complaints,
We got the queen suite because it had more sq. footage than the king and it had a fireplace. The fireplace is for fire logs only. We were hoping for the convenience of gas and ended up not using the fireplace the entire time we were there. They sell the logs at the front desk (a goodly walk from our room of building 8 room 11) but we never got around to asking how much they charge. They sell 6 logs at Fred Meyer for $ 19 but we weren’t going to be there that long.
The bed was hard and I don’t really believe it was a queen. We sleep on a queen at home and it seems like we have more room there. I can’t prove it but it felt like a full. I went so far as to look up dimensions between the two but didn’t have a tape measurer.
The walls are super thin and sound carries. I heard every step the people above us made and with a sleeping child my nerves were on edge. When they showered it sounded like a waterfall, but not in a pleasant way. I could tell when they went from faucet to spray and this was about 6am.
In closing, the staff were great, the grounds nice, the price was acceptable because there wasn’t another choice. I would stay there again but only because there isn’t a viable option in that price range. The next time I go up to see my family I will take sometime to look for a boutique hotel but I think this place is the best you will get in a small town.
Lastly, we originally were going to book on a travel site. Luckily we chose to go to the Marriott home page and got to use our AAA discount. Saved us $ 11 a night.

My favorite place to stay in the area, which was reaffirmed by my recent stay at the Country Inn and Suites down the street.
I’ve stayed in three hotels in Bothell and the Residence Inn was by far my favorite for several reasons. Not only are the rooms incredibly spacious, but they have nice kitchenettes and the layout of the property is excellent if you are visiting with a group. There are many buildings with several units on two floors. For the most part, you don’t have all the noise of kids/​sports teams running up and down your hall or outside your room that happens in a traditional hotel with only one corridor.
In between these buildings there are grassy areas, picnic benches, BBQs, a nice outdoor pool and a basketball court. You feel more like you are in a small village then trapped in a hotel.
The breakfast was fine and is in a separate building by the registration desk. Not luxurious, but definitely more than adequate when visiting Bothell.

After filling out a survey based upon my poor experience with this location, the manager for this Residence Inn contacted me and she confirmed my issues with the bed, as well as letting me know that she was rectifying the situation with the bed, which was purchased in 2008.
I stay at Marriott’s for the quality of stay, and this certainly has ensured that my choice in staying at these nicer hotels is worth the cost paid.
I will give this location another chance and I will likely be booking a stay their unfortunately due to my child’s issues. It’s good to know, however, that they confirmed and addressed the issue. Thank you!

I’m sort of mixed on this hotel, so I think a 3-​star rating is about perfect.
The rooms are big (it’s a Residence Inn), and generally higher quality than most establishments that fly that flag. The wifi is relatively fast. The breakfast is again about on par with what you’d get at a Residence Inn.
The part that really turned me off was the workout room, in particular the treadmills. The TVs on the treadmills don’t work. Admittedly, that’s a minor thing for most people, but for those of us looking to get a good run in that’s a real challenge.

Stayed here for 2 nights… mostly used for shower, TV/​free WiFi and sleep. I’m from California and I’m impressed with the cleanliness and size of the room! I stayed in a 1 bedroom suite with a queen-​sized bed. There’s also a small kitchen equipped with fridge, stove, microwave, sink and dishwasher! When speaking to the front desk (who are very nice, helpful and informative), they said all their rooms are like suites. Awesome.
Everyday they serve a buffett breakfast and it wasn’t bad! Eggs, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, waffles, cereals, bagels, toast and others.
Overall I’m very satisfied with my stay, would come back again and highly recommended.

We stayed here while in town for a wedding. The rooms were clean and comfaortable but the best thing about this hotel are the employees. I accidentally left my laptop & iPad in the room and had not realized when I got a call from the hotel. The next day housekeeping arranged to ship them overnight to my home. I really appreciate the honesty and responsiveness of the staff. Can’t thank them enough!

We booked 2 nights here using Marriott points. The 2 rooms we stayed in were in great condition.
+ Clean, modern, new-​looking rooms
+ Full kitchen in each room
+ Free wifi in all the rooms
+ Large flat screen TV
+ Free hot breakfast every morning, with both indoor and outdoor seating
+ Free cookies in the evening
+ Free parking
+ Computer with internet connection & free printing in the lobby
+ Very close to the freeway
What’s not to like?
Only downside: a little far from Seattle, but without traffic the drive is mostly freeway, maybe 25 min from downtown Seattle.

The price is the best in the Canyon Park area of Bothell. Quick and easy access to the freeway and local biotech companies. There was nothing bad about the stay, but at the same time there was nothing that was great about it either. Predictable, but there is nothing wrong with that.
What did I learn today? The companies that I visited as a FedEx driver 14 years in this area have changed.

I have currently been staying here for the last nine nights on business and it is a great hotel for what you pay for. The number one thing I can say about this place (and most residence inn’s for that matter) is that the service is impeccable and friendly. Whatever you want, they are there to help which is nice.
My room was clean without any real problems. Had some issues with the shower not draining right but they fixed it right away.
Free HOT FREE!!! breakfast every day of the week and they have free dinner with beers monday through wednesday. Is the dinner food 5 stars? Of course not, and why should it be? But it is free and they did have a keg of local brew each night.

We chose the Residence Inn based solely on location to where we were hosting an event and were beyond satisfied with the experience!
Checkin-​in was a quick (appreciated by these weary travelers), pleasant first encounter. The desk clerks were welcoming and engaging. Being offered a bottle of water was a very large «small touch» and much appreciated.
The property layout seemed confusing at first glance but it really isnt. Every night of our stay we were able to park right next to our entry and there was always handicap accessible spaces available (immensely appreciated by our mobility impaired guest).
Our «room» was more like an apartment, with 2 bedrooms (queen size bed in each), 2 full bathrooms, kitchenette with full size refrigerator, oven/​stove, microwave, dishwasher (!!), and stocked with basic supplies. They’ll even do your grocery shopping (charged to your account) for a fee, and I could definitely see where that could be handy! There was also a nice sized dining table and 2 chairs. In additional to the typical coffee offerings they also had popcorn (nice late night snack!). The other half of room had a large desk (outlets and modem) and office chair, tv cabinet, large flat screen tv, sofa, chair, coffee table and gas fireplace.
Bedrooms are adequate, one had a tv, large closet. My only beef is the lack of accessible electrical outlets near the bed — I had to move the table and do some tricky yoga pose to plug into the outlet. The bed made creaky noises everytime I moved in the night, which didn’t make for a very restful night.
Breakfast was awesome — loved the options and good food, not just some nuked pretend scrambled eggs! Oatmeal with brown sugar, blueberries, waffle bar with fruit topping and whipped cream, yogurt, fruit, juices, milks, potatos, protein, and much more.
We’ll be stayinf heer

I love this hotel~
The rooms here are amazing! It leaves the normal hotel feel, and greets you with more of a homey feel.
The rooms are pretty big and they have a couch, a HUGE tv, and a very very nice kitchen. Everything is modern! The bathroom is big and definitely equipped with all the essentials.
The place also has tons of facilities. A gym, tennis courts, pool, and a jacuzzi! Also, they offer breakfast and dinner on certain days, with complimentary drinks, BEER even.
Also, if you like working out there is a mini gym and a few trails you can go burn your calories on.
The workers here are always friendly and willing to help you.
My only qualm is that often times the walk is very far from the lobby to your room, but that is okay.
Recommend this place constantly.

We really liked this hotel. It was warm and comfortable. We got a one bedroom with a sofa bed for the 4 of us. The room was modern with a new flat screen TV. It also had an entire kitchen in it, which was a lot bigger than many kitchens I’ve seen. My mom was able to make fresh chai every morning we were there! And we really enjoyed the complimentary buffet breakfast each morning. As well as the delicious cookies at the front desk upon check in. The hotel staff were friendly and we didn’t have any issues with parking 2 cars or anything. All this cost $ 84 per night plus tax.
I look forward to staying here again.

I was pleasantly surprised by our room. It’s large with a small but full kitchen. It was a full oven/​range, a full size refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. On top of that it includes all the necessary essentials for a long stay; dishes, pots, pans, etc.
There is a living room with a TV, small sofa, 2 end tables, coffee table, and a desk. The bed is comfortable enough but small; I’m used to a king bed. LOL
We enjoyed complimentary breakfast every morning which was beyond what I expected. The staff is friendly and the hotel is located right on a jogging trail and is walking distance to my place of employment. This hotel is great for corporate use!

Normally I do not like any hotel with direct access from my room to the outside (I do not mean a patio either), however this location appears refreshed very well.
My separate living/​kitchen area is a full kitchen with oven. They should have invested in some flat screens as well and most other Residence Inns’ have a TV in both the living and bedroom area whereas this one did not.
A pleasant surprise when I was being negative and expecting the worst! Enjoyed my stay here!

I’ve had contractors and consultants stay at the Canyon Park Residence Inn before and they always had a favorable report.
So when the heat threatened to reach 100 degrees a few weeks back, and I finally relented to find a room w/​A/​C, they were tops on my list.
Fortunately, they take pets (w/​an additional deposit). We spend a wonderfully cool 3 nights in the clean, quiet rooms. Made dinner in the small kitchenette. The only things I’d wish for is a DVD player so we could watch movies, but we simply huddled around the laptop w/​the largest screen and «roughed it».
The location is very convenient to I-​405. There is even a small trail system through Canyon Park where we could walk the dog without worrying about automobile traffic.
All in all, a wonderful stay. Next time we have visitors in town (or the temps climb to 100+) we will be back.
