Worst bed award goes to...
Stayed 2 nights with my husband, slept zero. We stayed in the king corner full bay view suite. The bed was THE most uncomfortable bed in the world. I reached out to management about it and was told all of the beds are the same level of uncomfort. Also we drive a Range Rover and I really prefer not parking it on the street, I was told they had insight parking. The "parking" under their building was made up of about 10 normal spots that were all split in half, parking was impossible. The mini bar snacks were subpar, consisting of a Twix bar and Carmel corn. Oh and the charge for subpar bottle water. Felt like we were in a motel 6. Also the toilet seat was either broken or simply not soft closing, so when my husband used the restroom at night , I'd wake up to a SLAM of the toilet seat. I reached out before our stay asking simple questions about their property via email, GM never responded. If you do decide to stay at this location, which I never will again (stay at The Bellwether instead), bring all your toiletries, because this property's toiletries are the kind of cheap generic kind you'd probably find in a prison. The waitstaff in the restaurant were friendly and the food was okay. Besides that and the constant train noise, well we survived, I sorta feel like this hotel now owes me.
Excellent local stay

Lovely but not restful
Lovely property but not conducive for rest! Love the property, suite room and view. However, AC did not adequately cool room and train rambled loudly through very frequently! Very restless night! We left another hotel early to come here for expected rest at a Hilton property.
Wonderful surprise in Bellingham
My wife and I have been lucky enough to travel a lot and have stayed at fantastic properties in Monaco, Budapest , Maui etc. some of those hotels may have been more luxurious, but I don’t think they were as nice as this experience. Everything feels intentional and curated. While it looks like just a quaint inn, everything from bedding, bath products, food and spa was top notch.
