• The staff was very friendly, and the rooms were clean.
• The outside doesn't look anything like the website.

“The hotel doesn't look very appealing from the outside, but the rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. The hotel is close to a shopping mall and easy access on and off the freeway. I would stay here again.”

• Fresh clean smelling rooms, comfortable beds, wonderful large bath sheets, good location.
• Security was a little worrisome and strange- very easy for anyone to get into main hallways without even being registered guests.

“The only real thing that was not very reassuring was the security setup. It was very easy for anyone to get into the main hallways without a cardkey. Overall our stay was comfortable and I would stay there again.”

• Good service, excellent and clean room, location.
• Old, noisy, common areas look rundown, erratic water temperature; hear creaking sound when some one walks upstairs.

“Good location, very close to downtown. Clean and nice rooms with good TV programming, free wireless. Some common areas of this hotel make it appear rundown. The floors are creaky. A renovation can make this place immaculate. Water temperature while bathing is erratic. Wireless network had excellent speed but was down for one of the 3 nights I stayed.”

• Close to the things I wanted to see.
• Room key kept not working.

“Had trouble trying to explain to staff that I wanted the room cleaned one day, did not understand English. The room keys would not work over and over again and had to be re-computerized. Plugged in the coffee maker and blew the fuse once. Quite hilarious. loved the garden atmosphere, the exercise room was closed so no work out. ”

• The bartender that night was a great person to talk to about the big game!
• The chair in the corner by the bed, not in a good spot.

“Surprised to find out that this was a Ramada that had not been remodeled. It was scruffy on the outside, but great on the inside. Very quite even with the traffic outside on the freeway. The evening staff was funny and great to talk with; the morning staff needed something to cheer them up.”

• Right next to the major freeway.

“Older building with nice upgrades that are very well maintained and give the rooms the feel of a moderate to upper scale business hotel. Very efficient and professional staff. Much nicer on the inside than the older building would lead you to believe.”

• Location, convenience, common places were clean and attractive, met my expectations.
• Hotel looks like they are updating rooms, my room was not updated, exercise room was not inviting. View was of parking lot and building next door.

“I enjoyed my stay there, staff was friendly and helpful. Common areas were comfortable and appealing. The price was unbeatable. Felt a measure of security in this hotel. The location was perfect for my stay in Bellevue. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again.”

“It's an okay place to stay if you just need to put up your feet, but I wouldn't go there to "escape" or for the luxuries. Friendly staff and great location (right off the 405) but the hotel's website sure makes it look about 10 times better then it really is.”

• Location.
• Office staff was rude, confirmed accommodations were not held up.

“Our stay at this hotel was terrible. The rooms were over rated. Although, they seemed clean enough. Carpets were old/dirty and needed an update. The hotel staff was extremely unprofessional and rude. We called two weeks ahead of time and informed them that we had 8 people in our group and needed two beds in each room as it would not be appropriate for them to sleep in the same bed. This confirmation was not kept (although they could see it in our reservation) and each of our rooms only had one bed. They didn't have enough hide-a-beds available, so some had to sleep on the floor in their rooms. An overhaul in the area of management is desperately needed here.”

• Very clean, pretty, comfortable and quiet.
• Twice the staff was inattentive. We wanted a non-smoking but the clerk said there were none, spoken rudely.

“Small, middle-aged hotel right off of 405. Rooms were updated, very attractive, clean to 10's. Bed comfy, room quiet. No elevator. Lovely courtyard with fountain. Restaurant was appealing, but we had no meals there. Staff was rude and hurried. They need a good lecture from management.”

• Friendly, helpful & speedy check in at midnight!
• The room we were in, looked like in process of remodeling.

“It was clean, comfortable, and convenient and the staff was very friendly. Morning beverages in the lobby were a nice touch. It looked like the room was in the midst of a remodel that wasn't quite finished. The lamps between the beds had been removed and the wall repair was not quite completed. I have stayed there previously and would stay again.”

• Failure to repair plumbing problem.

“The bed was comfortable, but the condition of the room was poor. Two lamps and the phone were out of service when we arrived, the bathtub wouldn't drain, and there was only a trickle of hot water in the sink. The staff repaired most of these problems but never got around to the sink hot water repair, despite multiple requests.”

• No adequate security.

“My van and a number of other vehicles in the parking lot were vandalized. The lock cylinders were removed with a tool. I'm still paying for repairs and replacement of stolen articles. Apparently there is no video surveillance nor enough concern by management. Local police were so slow to respond I had to leave the area before they arrived.”

“We were happy with the room we had because it opened up into the garden courtyard which provided privacy. My husband loved the Jacuzzi by the pool because it was actually very warm. The only problem we had was finding our way to the pool. This hotel is bigger than it appears from the street. This is not a bad thing.”

“This hotel was clean, if you are a non-smoker, they may put you in a smoking room, which stank. The young gentleman tried to give us a different room. I wouldn't have minded a single bed, however, or even a smoking room if it didn't have such a stench, as I have allergies, but they did change our room for the rest of our stay after people checked out.”

• Filthy, staff who don't care, unsafe.

“This is a terrible hotel. The doors in the rooms barely close (from all the times they have been broken down) as evidenced by the door frames. The sliding glass doors are barely on their tracks, don't lock well, and could be easily removed. The water in the hotel runs brown, everything is filthy, stains are everywhere and the hotel has a terrible odor. Paying any amount for a room in this hotel is too much.”

• Easily accessible from Rt. 405; "Renovated" rooms are nicer; Fairly nice courtyard.
• Rooms are poorly maintained; staff is unresponsive; beds are uncomfortable.

“At the two star level, I don't expect all the niceties, but I DO expect rooms to be clean, the bed to be fairly comfortable, the AC/heating to work, housekeeping to clean the room, and staff to respond to requests or explain why they can't. The Paragon didn't meet these expectations. The first room was dirty, VERY poorly maintained, and reeked of cigarette smoke. There was a dried liquid splattered on the walls, peeling and poorly patched wallpaper, a lampshade had been glued back together as evidenced by the strings of glue hanging from it, and paint on the ceiling and door were flaking and peeling. The room door had to be forced closed and the deadbolt would not latch. The furnishings were dated, as was the bedspread on the VERY hard and uncomfortable bed, which had only two ancient pillows, threadbare linens, no fitted bottom sheet, and a Velux blanket with holes from it's considerable age and use as well as burn holes. The drawer pulls were poorly fitted so they were loose on the nightstands and some were missing from the entertainment armored, making it hard to open and close. The air conditioner was loud, barely worked and smelled musty. The bathroom was VERY dated: dingy linoleum floor, avocado green tiles around the tub/shower (some broken), wood-grained paneling on wall, and darker wood-grain vanity counter. The sink faucet desperately needed to be replaced- worst I've ever seen- and the shower head was so low anyone over 5'3" will have to duck to get their head wet. Requests for additional pillows were not fulfilled, even though they were 'on the way.' Although our room was 'cleaned' the coffee pot and filter (dirty when we got the room) were left sitting dirty on the counter, and the bed linens were not changed as requested in the hopes of getting a newer blanket and less worn sheets. Seeing the maintenance staff spraying for bugs in the room across the hall was what put me over the edge. After complaints to the front desk, we were moved.”

• This was the only hotel in Bellevue that had rooms in short notice.
• The location is right by the freeway.

“Before arriving, I was a little worry due to all the reviews I had seen on line (bad location, cold rooms, showers don't work, unfriendly staff etc...) however I had a perfectly fine experience. The staff where friendly and kind, took care of my needs in good time, the bathrooms where big and in working order (they have very big shower towels), room was clean and taken care of, staff were very friendly when I checked in and out, the location is close to Bellevue, the only downfall might be that its right of the freeway and its noise, but personally I had no problem with my room, if I closed the balcony door no noise at all. I paid 50 a night, and for that price I say it is definitely worth the money. Considering Bellevue has many hotels/ motels if you paying a lot more maybe you should consider better location for your money.”

• Convenient location, comfy bed, generous towel size.
• Smoky rooms, bait-and-switch tactics by front desk.

“Shortly after making the reservation, I called the hotel to get a nonsmoking room with a queen or king bed. I was told I would get a "deluxe queen, nonsmoking." On arrival, we verified through the front desk that is what we would get. After packing everything into the far end of the hotel, we entered our room to find it was none of the above: deluxe, queen, or nonsmoking. It was an renovated room and it was, in a word, "crappy." We wouldn't have stayed in it for $10/night! After packing everything out and returning to the front desk, we were given another room (renovated and reasonably attractive, but still smoky smelling), BUT, because they were not full, they'd give us another room. We tried to air out the room, but it was on the ground floor with a sliding door, a broken security bar/lock, and no screen. So we relied on the room air venting system during the night which was so noisy it kept us awake most of the night. There were 4 lamps in the room with a total of 2 light bulbs, no washcloths, and 1 package of decaf (no regular) for the coffeepot. This hotel has an excellent location and with a few improvements could be a good choice; however, after our experience, it really didn't matter that the beds were "comfy" and the towels "generous." We would never stay there again or recommend that anyone else do so.”
