The Bellevue Hotel

I am only here for the night. The room was big and overlooked the interior courtyard. Everything seemed new. The bed was comfortable. The only thing I could complain about is door seemed original and I had to pull it closed. I took the elevator to the 19th floor domed room where I presume they do events (bridal suite up there too). Great views. There’s a real chef at the restaurant— salmon was perfectly cooked and excellent!

The hotel was very accommodating to my family. There was some confusion about whether our reservation included breakfast. As one would expect from a top hotel, the manager put the customer first. Micah, our waiter for breakfast, was kind and helpful — a real professional. Thank you for making our stay so special.

If you are sensitive to cologne do not go to this hotel. They use some kind of offensive cologne to fragrance the lobby which permeated the garden, hallways and upstairs dining room, so I was not able to use any of the amenities. The room was generally nice. Clean, comfortable bed, good water pressure and quiet. Except for car noise from the street but that’s to be expected in a city. Note that not all king rooms come with a couch. You might get that impression from the photos of the rooms.

We stayed at the Bellevue for a destination wedding. The extraordinary wedding was celebrated on the 19th floor. The food was up to every foodie's dream. After an evening of dinner and dancing, we retreated into our lovely room and quickly fell asleep on our luxuriously appointed bed. We look forward to our next return at the Bellevue.

Fantastic stay, other than one rude front desk person. The remodeling job was done very well. They kept the historic parts of the building, yet managed to make the place very modern. The breakfast offering was fantastic, and every staff member I ran into made me feel welcome and wanted me back as a guest. Except one, Trinity. She is rude beyond measure, and if you go through the reviews here and Google, you will see some mentioning staff being hit or miss. She is the miss. Called to ask a question about valet parking charges on my room. Her reply: Did you use valet? If so, it is a valid charge. And then a silence. Well, except if you are a globalist and staying on a free night reward (points). When I mentioned it, She realized she forgot to check, so she mumbled some and told me she will report it to her manager. I have other times I spoke with her and how it reminded me of other guests' comments. It did make me nervous to check in. Ben, however, saved the day and gave us the proper Hyatt welcome when I checked in. Just a great person to talk to. Thank you, Ben! The entire valet staff was very helpful, and Micah at breakfast was also very pleasant. Their gym alone, btw, made me want to move to Philly. What a facility! I can work out there for hours! Overall, I would come back next time I'm in the area (my wife is a Philly native so we do visit a ton). I will just pray I check in when Trinity isn't around, I guess
