Weekend stay at this property in mid-June.

On the plus side:

Nicely renovated rooms on the SPG floor. Comfortable bed. Parking lot is super close and free.

On the minus side:

Front desk clerks do not read reservation comments (does any hotel?) and had pre-assisgned a room facing the freeway, then told me I would have to pay $30 a night if I wanted to "upgrade" to a n/s king on the renovated SPG floor. The upgrade fee included free breakfast for 2 plus free appetizers at the restaurant next door, so we decided just to pay it and consider it a wash. But so much for special treatment of SPG Gold members.

Personally I thought the Sheraton Bellevue (note correct spelling) was a decent value at $79/night (weekend promo) but the traffic across 90 (94?) was brutal at mid-day Saturday due to another bridge closure so consider traffic patterns if you plan to stay here. Downtown Seattle would definitely have been more convenient, but the rates and parking fees are steep.
