Not worth it

I stayed at this hotel on a solo trip because it was in walking distance to all things downtown and thought I’d ‘treat’ myself to the best room instead of staying with many friends in the community who offered. I travel weekly for my job, staying in hotels and hardly ever write reviews. Unfortunately, this hotel needs much improvements. First it feels like they used furniture, from the old folks home it used to be, but tried to be more modern at the same time with other pieces thrown in, it just didn’t jive. Outdated furniture for sure! I also thought, based on photos and descriptions I was getting a room with a full kitchen and on the water side of the building, not the parking lot. This turned into an argument with the front desk telling me I was wrong, although they just updated the room descriptions a few days prior. The kitchen had no pots, pans or anything to cook with using the full stove and oven. The bathroom was clearly for a wheelchair, so be careful walking up the ramp. And the shower, clearly for wheelchairs, definitely didn’t have a shelf or anything for personal items to be placed. The hotel was certainly not worth the money I paid and the customer service was just poor - it wasn’t even worth explaining the issues to staff, because each time they just argued what I said. Not a place with a warm or welcoming vibe, sadly. But the community seems to already know that, my bad for giving it a try 😿

Good location and staff were friendly but this experience has led me to reconsider using Expedia.ca as my only booking option. I was charged in Canadian funds by Expedia and paid in full before staying. Then the hotel accidentally charged me after my stay - over $200 less than Expedia charged me. Then the hotel refunded me but because of currency exchange, I lost almost $100. In all I am out $300 through no fault of my own due to Expedia's price and the hotel's error. Will definitely look at other options next time.

The staff at the desk, Speak Easy bar, cleaning crew were always friendly, helpful and prompt with a request. The room was large, comfy bed in a bedroom, updated bath, and kitchen. Very clean. I will stay again and seek a room away from the evening street noise. The earplugs were a nice perk!

Love the hotel. It takes you back to an earlier pre-cookie cutter time. The staff was amazing, they seemed to really enjoy their jobs, they took immediate care to correct a misunderstanding that was really Expedia's fault.

Good location in downtown Bellingham. We had a suite so the bedroom was separate from a living room that had a big queen sized pullout. We didn’t use the kitchenette but it would have come in handy for longer stays. Lots of good restaurants downtown!!
