Hotel Leo

I always stay here when I go to Bellingham. There is nowhere else with a better location, the staff is amazing. It's an old hotel, so it's got its own personality, but I love that.

The room was clean - tiny bathroom, which wasn't a big deal. Picked my bag up off the floor to leave and there were about 50 little ants hiding under it, which was disgusting. The staff were all super-friendly - cute place other than the ants!

A bit worn but comfortable Older hotel, stayed on historic room. Worn bit cool. Would stay there again. Great location.

We enjoyed all the facilities the hotel provides: a relaxing evening in the 21 Amendment Bar, playing pool and perusing books in the library, and watching a movie in comfy chairs in the theatre! The staff was friendly and helpful, the linens freshly white, and the access to all the downtown attractions could not be better. The Art Deco style is really special and very unique, with attention to artistic details throughout. We will come back again at our first opportunity!

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 Outdated furniture for sure!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 ******* and paid in full before staying. Then the hotel accidentally charged me after my stay - over $200 less than ******* 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.
