Just completed a stay here. Echo many of the comments above. Here is my pro/con list :

Pro:

• Right next to the Boeing 737 plant, my corner room had a view of brand new 737's coming out of the factory (my friend thought that view made it look to industrial, I loved it)
• Water view - since I had a corner room my other view, in addition to the 737's, was looking north over the lake, Mercer island, city skyline in the distance, and the Olympic mountain range
• Regency Club - its very very large and with a great view on the main floor. I found the dinner appetizers and breakfast to be just fine. One night they had steak medallions served over polenta and it was really quite good
• Smart elevators - you touch a display panel with the floor you want and it directs you to the right lift
• Close to airport, within 10 minutes
• Hard product is really impressive : the indoor saltwater lap pool, the Jacuzzi, the steam room in the mens locker room, the huge fitness center with beautiful view of the lake, the yoga room, etc...
• Nice park next door to the hotel
• Valet parking - yes its your only parking option but you can text/call in advance to have your car waiting for you. I did this every day, texted from my room 10 minutes before leaving and my car was waiting for me, so just do this in advance.....$16/day on weekends, $26 on weekdays. That's not a pro, its just what it is

Cons:

• The entire area is under massive construction. High rise apartments being built, shopping, road rerouting and repairs. My GPS didn't find the place accurately at first due to the winding road coming in off Lake Washington Blvd. The construction didn't bother me but its a work zone. Will be nice and fancy in a few years all around there but a demolition zone right now
• Valet parking is the only option and no airport shuttle or proximity to light rail
• If you need to get to Bellevue/Redmond area in the morning, the traffic is nasty on the 405. And if you are returning to the hotel from that area at 5pm in the afternoon, yikes, plan on 1 hour in your car. But, that could be said for just about anywhere in the greater Seattle area at that time
• Very small work desk area in the room. Basically, just a little landing area built off of the wall with a chair. I went down to the RC to work

Overall, its a great hotel with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding area to the North and West. Just be aware of location, construction, and valet only parking options but as was stated earlier in the thread, best physical RC I've ever been to.
