Don't expect any hospitality on early check-in or late check-out unless you want to add 40 bucks. But if you are a germaphobe, steer clear. This place has filthy walls, black streaks, greasy or god knows what spots everywhere and really needs a paint job. More repairs are needed including...

The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

8/10 Good
"Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Bellevue. I stayed in the corner suite on the 12th floor as I was getting married at XIX that Sunday. I have to say when I went to check in on Saturday excited for the weekend to come all for the front desk concierge to say ‘ oh you’re getting married? When? ‘ was a bit surprising / disheartening since I’d assume staff would at least know the first names of who is getting married at the hotel that weekend but I suppose not. I don’t want to point blame so I won’t name names. :) Amir on the other hand went absolutely above and beyond, I can’t thank him enough for the love and warmth he showed us and my entire family & bridal party. The manager Ben was also amazing, helping us load the car, seeming genuinely excited to have us throw our wedding there, etc. The Bellevue is stunning on its own and the renovations for two years ago are truly breathtaking! Our bathroom was less clean than I’d like with visible finger prints covered in foundation swiped across the white en suite door and old makeup product stickers stuck on the sink. It’s the tiny things but overall a beautiful space and I feel thankful we were able to spend one of the best days our lives there!"
