Usually the words "Sheraton" and "Seattle" in the same sentence would make us want to pull out our old mix tapes from the early 1990s and start to cry. But this Sheraton near Seattle doesn't seem so depressing.

The renovations are now finally finished at the Seattle-area Sheraton Bellevue. The $5.7 million remodel touched on everything from the guest rooms to the menu to the fitness center.

The changes run with a Pacific Northwest, woodsy cottage theme with a nod to the coastal surroundings. We're a little worried about their description of the plaid carpet in the entry, but perhaps it's more cozy than old-looking.

There is also a large fireplace in the first floor lounge area, near Link@Sheraton -- the Sheraton version of a lobby slash business center. Like so many new hotels, there are individual check-in pods instead of one big counter.

Guest rooms are totally up-to-date now, with new TVs, beds, and bathroom upgrades, as well as furniture that follows the themes of the lobby (no word on how much plaid you'll find).

Early reviews on TripAdvisor are a little mixed, with people still complaining about the views and close proximity to freeways. Guests have always been pleased with the relative closeness to Seattle, though, without the high rates of being in the city, and the new renovations can only improve the appeal. The hotel also claims to have increased the quality of service, which hopefully will eliminate some of the previous negativity towards the hotel.

Rates start at $247.
