Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff are lovely and the room clean and tidy, and I love the retro feel and lower cost of the "historical" wing of accommodations. Notes: It's 2026 and even every flophouse motel now has a charger brick with USB B & C for our precious phones - this is a must. The pointy edges of the bed's platform are a major bruising hazard. The naked lightbulbs in the bedside lamps are hard on the eyes - if you're going shadeless, use a kinder bulb. Otherwise everything's very nice even at this most "budget" level the Leo offers!

Bar restaurant/lounge had musicians playing live. The food was very good. Parking was good. The bed was comfortable, but sat way too low for my wife and I, both in our sixties. The only way to heat the bathroom was the run the shower on hottest setting 15 mins before stepping into it. The heating unit did not distribute heat throughout the room. We had to be in close proximity to get the benefit. Staff were very friendly and professional.

The room was fine, bed a bit soft. The bathroom floor and shower tlles looked like they could use a good scrubbing. It was noisy, from the train, people coming and going to the bars/restaurants nearby and the hotel hallway. We knew something was up when we saw that there were earplugs in the room. We would not stay here again.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. Its in a great location for exploring the joys of quirky Bellingham. The mix of old time charm and modern updates was excellent. Staff were friendly and check in and out was effortless. I would give it 9.95 out of 10. If it were not for the awfully brught gedside LED lights, ut woukd be 10 out of 10

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The parking at this hotel is not great. Spots are not clearly marked for Hotel Leo guests and it made for a very stressful experience. The room was updated and modern however it smelled old and like smoke. The staff were great. Amenities were average. This markets like a luxury boutique hotel, but for the money I spent for the night it’s not. This wouldn’t be my first choice. I only stayed here because of an event that took place.
