Hilton Garden Inn Seattle Issaquah Hotel - Page 1

My family stayed for 3 nights at this brand new hotel which is located very conviently off I-90, close to everything in Issaquah. Our hotel room had comfortable beds with nice linens. Everything in the room was clean and neat. We used the indoor pool which was small but great for the kids, and enjoyed the hot tub too. The room featured a small fridge and coffee maker so we did not use the hotel's food service , listing breakfast at $9-adult, $5 for children. The hotel is just down the street from several grocery stores and good places to eat. If you have a car, it's worth it to drive down Gilman Blvd. to check out some local places to eat either on Gilman or Front Street. If you venture to the other side of I-90, there are other shopping/eating places and movie theaters. If you are visiting in the early fall, Sept., Oct., and even Nov., a great thing to go is visit Issaquah's fish ladder and hatchery located on Sunset.

Only two negatives while we were staying. The daily newspaper that arrives outside your door is not free. You must tell the lobby desk you do not want it or it is an extra .75 cents a day-we called but they kept delivering the paper anyway. (The water in the fridge is not free either) Our room was on the street side -Gilman Blvd., and on our first morning, early, there was a concrete saw being used in the parking lot directly across the street. The second morning we woke up to a weedeater. It might be worth while to ask for a room that faces to the inside as the hotel is an "L" shape and fronts two streets.

For being a new hotel, I would have expected my room to be spotless. There was dust everywhere! Couldnt seem to get the bed at a good comfort level (one of those adjustable kind) too firm or too soft. I was surprised at how small the bathroom was.

The lounge.. what lounge? Not inviting at all. And for breakfast, its only a buffet, no menu.

I will continue to stay at the Holiday Inn on the other side of the freeway.
