As you can tell from the idle activity of posts in this thread, this property is DOA.

Im here for the entire week and I reached my boiling point with Breakfast.
Breakfast is buffet only on their second floor space (which SHOULD be a Club Lounge IMO).
Here are your breakfast options at the buffet:

- Powdered eggs
- $1 store bread French Toast


- Watery Oatmeal or Watery Rice Porridge
- Dried potatoes
- Fruit
- Brown Water which they market as Coffee (I had to go to the Capital One Cafe up the street for better Coffee).

The room itself is fantastic and quiet, but thats where the limited star struck effect ends. I had a similar room to what Casimir had above, with a view/corner room. No suites were available so I didnt press the agent at arrival.

The property itself has no sit down restaurant within and has a small bar, east of the lobby front desk with seating for ~10. I was also given the wrong Drink Vouchers at check in (they used the Holiday Day Inn market Drink/Snack ones instead of the actual Drink Vouchers you can use for a cocktail). Bartender accepted them, nonetheless, but it displays a lack of attention to detail. My Ambassador welcome amenity was not nearly as nice as Casimir and just included a minibox of candy and water.

The execution of the product is poor on many ends for the property to be in Bellevue and it doesnt represent the brand well. The property's design and execution is basically similar to what the new template for Crowne Plaza will be once the Manhattan Times Square hotel is renovated; minus the mixed use retail, which says IMO, this should not be an InterContinental.
