Best Customer Service!

by jdoor at Citysearch

I love this Hotel and always enjoy staying here. The staff treat me wonderfully and always remember little details about my likes and dislikes which is such a nice touch! My doggy is welcomed and given treats too!

You just can't beat the view here on Lake Washington so I always stay over here instead of downtown Bellevue, its way more serene and pretty. Every single member of staff down to the cool (female!) valet are incredibly polite and helpful. Highly recommended!

• Pros: Beautiful, luxury, view

Beautiful setting, abysmal customer service.

I wish I had more positive things to say about my stay at The Woodmark, because the setting is truly beautiful and the potential for a stellar experience is everywhere. I stayed at The Woodmark for a wedding on Labor Day weekend, and from the moment we approached the front desk upon our arrival, we received nothing but snobbery and condescension. They were unable to give us the room that we had reserved several months in advance (we requested 2 queen-sized beds), and instead said that they would send up a roll-out for us. Hours later, we called down to the front desk to inquire about the extra bed, and were told very rudely that it was not possible to accomodate us, because the room we were staying in was not large enough, and a roll-out would be considered a fire hazard. No apologies were made, no alternative arrangements were offered, and I find myself doubting that we would have heard from the front desk at all regarding the matter had we not followed up.

We encountered the same condescension and rudeness during our breakfast at the hotel?s ?Waters Bistro.? It took 15-20 minutes for us to get our server to bring coffee to the table, and were treated like we were wasting his time. We also noticed that many of the guests around us were served promptly and received much more friendly service. Unfortunately, we left with the feeling that this is a hotel that prefers to cater only to older guests who appear to have a lot of money to burn. I filled out a comment card after our stay, hoping that they would at least acknowledge the problems that we experienced there ? but we never heard anything. Apparently, they didn?t care enough to respond.

They appeared to take good care of my friend and his wedding arrangements, and that was really the most important thing about our trip, but we will never be returning to The Woodmark again.

• Pros: beautiful setting, free kayaks available for guest day use
• Cons: horrific customer service, below-mediocre dining

Wonderful spa experience!

by bcollins3 at Citysearch

The Spa at the Woodmark is one of the best spas in town. The location is gorgeous and the staff is impeccable. The facials and massages keep me coming back over and over. The atmosphere is relaxing, quiet, and friendly. The Exclusively Yours package is my favorite and my husband always knows to get it for me on my birthday.

• Pros: valet, experienced staff, friendly

Luxury on Lake Washington's eastern shore.

The Scene
This elegant full-service hotel houses a top-notch spa and boasts views of the water, the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains. It is part of Carillon Point, a 31-acre complex featuring high-end restaurants, a few shops, a fitness center and a marina.

The Details
Room decor ranges from pretty to opulent--all, of course, done in discreet, Northwest style. The lovely accommodations in the back overlook a pretty creek; they are considered the least desirable, which only proves how spectacular the water and skyline view rooms are. Many of the guest rooms feature full-sized balconies. The Library Bar is a nice place for a drink after a walk along the promenade, and the spa is popular with both visitors and locals looking for a little pampering. Signature treatments include the Honey Body Polish & Shea Butter Souffle.

My First Choice for an Eastside Hotel

by Thomps at Citysearch

As a "Seattle local "I have had the pleasure to stay and eat at this hotel, and although I live up the street, I feel many miles away from home and worries. The service is superb, and the enviornment is beautiful and tranquil. This is a hotel for those who enjoy the finer things in life.

• Pros: Great parking, Easy access to shops
