This truly felt like a high end boutique hotel experience. The setting is lovely and the rooms were incredibly spacious, clean, with tons of amenities. The bathrooms though! So luxurious! Free parking in a gated garage was a huge plus and the access to downtown Bellingham was wonderful without being "downtown". We can't wait to come back!
